Games releasing this week (24 – 28 October 2011)

24 October 2011

*Sniffs the air* What’s that smell?

Oh yes, the smell of holiday release bombardment heading our way.

Last week was pretty big with Batman: Arkham City taking up most of the gaming world’s attention.

But this week we have another set of titles to look forward to – with even more gaming goodness coming at us at an alarming rate in the weeks to come.

Battlefield 3 (PC/PS3/360)

This is the biggie for the week.

EA and DICE have been feeding the hype machine over the last few months in a big way, all for Battlefield 3 – the next numbered iteration of the shooter we last saw six years ago.

Yup, Battlefield 2 came out in 2005.

We’ve been covering the game rather extensively, from announcement to beta – as well as all the changes made since.

And now we finally get to enjoy the final product this Friday.

We’ve already pre-ordered ours, and Friday cannot come sooner!

Tropico 4 (360)

PC gamers have had the pleasure of playing dictator since August 2011 – and now 360 owners are going to have their chance too.

Playing as the tyrannical (or benevolent) dictator El Presidente, Tropico 4 is a construction and management sim that let’s you work towards doing what dictators do best – expanding your influence and territory.

In light of recent activities here in the real world, perhaps you should reassess how you go about things, hmm?

Grab Tropico 4 on 360 on Friday.

SingStar Back top the 80’s (PS3 + Move)

The 80’s was very contrasting – giving us some of the best music ever (Queen, anyone?) and some of the worst (uh, everything else).

But it’s the everything else that made the 80’s so awesome, even if only to laugh about.

And let’s face it – when it comes to karaoke, George Michael’s Faith always comes up.

Right?

Playstation 3 is heading back to the 80’s with SingStar on Thursday, and the game will have over 30 tracks from the musical era taste forgot.
