Games you can play this week

This week, the gaming world is about to be treated to another Naughty Dog piece of brilliance, while rugby fans finally get something to keep them busy.

Rugby Challenge 2

Rugby Challenge 2: The Lions Tour Edition will add new features, modes and licenses when it releases this week.

As the name suggests, one of the biggest additions is the inclusion of the British and Irish Lions license.

The game will also feature an expanded and improved multi-career mode, along with core improvements to the gameplay, such as the addition of quick taps, quick lineouts, mauls from lineouts, interceptions, contesting ball at the breakdown, removing players from the ruck, number 8 scrum pickups, and dynamic in game team strategies on both attack and defence.

An addition to the gameplay tweaks, more customisation and commentary options will be available.

The Last of Us

Hands-down, one of the biggest games of the year is Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, which is set to release this week and deliver visceral and brutal combat that will make the most steel-stomached gamers cringe.

The world of The Last of Us sees a viral outbreak that has caused modern society to become an overgrown mess, as nature reclaims the land and civilisation has fallen to desperation. Players will take on the role of Joel, as he has to escort a young girl named Ellie to a particular quarantined zone.

Both characters will come into play, allowing Joel to command and assist Ellie in helping the two on their journey.
