This Week’s Games – Page 3

Out this week: High On Life, Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion, Wavetale, Blacktail, Neon White, more

While we’re grateful for Obsidian’s Pentiment, it has ended up being the only first-party Xbox exclusive for the holiday season. In place of a new Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable or a Rare IP revival, High On Life steps in as a replacement. This comical first-person shooter – set...

Out this week: Dragon Quest Treasures, Hello Neighbor 2, The Rumble Fish 2, Samurai Maiden, Jitsu Squad, Terror of Hemasaurus, more

Contrary to popular belief, the gaming calendar isn’t over just yet – the next two weeks are looking rather busy. The week leading us into Christmas? Not such much, although that could change. A last-minute rush to secure premium digital storefront placement period often occurs. Square-Enix is back,...

Out this week: The Callisto Protocol, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, Need for Speed Unbound, Soccer Story, The Knight Witch, more

While there are a few more big-name games to come this year, including High On Life, Dragon Quest Treasures, and Core Crisis: FFVII, this may possibly be the last truly busy week of 2022 when it comes to new releases. The release lists are looking rather sporadic from...

Out this week: Evil West, Gungrave G.O.R.E, Saint Kotar, Ship of Fools, Just Dance 2023, Cleopatra Fortune, more

If you’re into grisly shooters, this week has you covered. Evil West – not to be confused with Weird West, Hard West, or Will Smith’s Wild Wild West – could be a surprise hit, coming from Flying Wild Hog – creators of Trek to Yomi and Shadow Warrior....

Out this week: Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, Goat Simulator 3, The Devil in Me, Somerville, Pentiment, more

Nintendo’s Triforce of winter titles is now complete, with Pokémon Scarlet/Violet joining Bayonetta 3 and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope on store shelves. Three is the magic number, after all. Pokémon Scarlet/Violet takes us to the Paldea region to conquer eight gyms, capture new critters, and explore...

Out this week: God of War Ragnarok, Sonic Frontiers, Atari 50, Return to Monkey Island, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, Police Simulator, more

We wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that many gamers have booked a day (or two) off work to dive into this week’s new releases. There are a lot of big-name titles due, along with some anticipated new indies. Square-Enix is also back with yet another JRPG,...

Out this week: The Chant, WRC Generations, Harvestella, The Entropy Centre, Tanuki Sunset, Shatter Remastered, more

We expected to see more horror games on the agenda for this week than what’s available. This week’s spooky offerings are all quite intriguing though, flying under the radar somewhat. The Chant is a single-player third-person adventure set on a remote island, where a spiritual retreat turns sour...

Out this week: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Bayonetta 3, Star Ocean: The Divine Force, SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2, Garbage Pail Kids, more

A new Call of Duty is upon us, meaning this week is a busy one almost by default. Modern Warfare II seems to be generating a bigger buzz than recent entries, which presumably means the rebooted Modern Warfare ended up becoming a favourite. This sequel promises more advanced...

Out this week: Gotham Knights, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Mario + Rabbids, New Borderlands, more

With new entries in the Super Mario, Ghostbusters, Borderlands, Batman, and Warhammer franchises we doubt many would disagree that this week is one of the busiest of the year. Adding to that list, there’s also the anticipated A Plague Tale: Requiem. The original Plague Tale was a surprise...

Out this week: Scorn, Asterigos: Curse of the Stars, Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief, Dragon Ball: The Breakers, No More Heroes 3, Trifox, more

It’s a busy week for new releases: a mixture of big-name titles, belated conversions, intriguing indies, annual sporting updates, and a handful of titles aimed at younger gamers. A lot of these appear to be flying under the radar, which makes this round-up an ideal place to give...

Out this week: Dakar Desert Rally, Overwatch 2, No Man’s Sky (Switch), Super Jagger Bomb, Medieval Dynasty, more

It’s a modest week for new releases, especially when compared to the last – which saw 22 new games on Xbox One alone. You could even say it’s the calm before next week’s new release storm. Some of this week’s big hitters include Dakar Desert Rally – which...

Out this week: FIFA 23, Trails from Zero, Valkyrie Elysium, Hokko Life, Let’s Build a Zoo, Tunic, Grounded, more

Here it is. The last ever FIFA – something we thought we’d never see. From next year the series defaults to EA Sports FC, ending EA’s 30-year partnership. What can we expect from FIFA 23? It doesn’t appear to be a milestone year, considering cross-play and double the...
