Games you can play this week

Features

January 14, 2013

January is finally in full swing, and that means the drought of games is over, with two big hitters coming in this week.

Anarchy Reigns

15 January 2013

Platinum Games’ downloadable smash-em-up is finally hitting store shelves this week.

Anarchy Reigns (aka Max Anarchy) stars a cast of over-the-top brawlers, including fighters from the MadWorld and Bayonetta series.

In addition to the campaign, players can take the fight online in the Battle Royale, Capture the Flag, Death Match, Tag Team, and Survival multiplayer modes.

DmC

15 January 2013

Dante makes his much anticipated return this week, despite some criticism from sceptical fans.

The reboot – simply dubbed DmC – is looking to find the balance between a hardcore hack-’n-slash, while also providing enough fluidity and access for newcomers to the franchise.

Dante’s symbolic weaponry returns – along with new angel and demon swords, which are activated with the left and right triggers respectively, and by mixing those Angel and Demon weapons you’ll find the depth in the combo system.
