This week sees a fair amount of re-releases hitting the market, giving gamers who missed out on previous blockbusters another chance to appreciate what they have to offer. That said, there are some new releases worth taking note of.
Here’s the picks of the week:
Alekhine’s Gun – March 1
(PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Essentially Hitman-with-hair, Alekhine’s Gun‘s is a third-person stealth-action game that throws players into the shoes of Agent Alekhine, a highly skilled Russian assassin working alongside American CIA agents during the Cold War.
Using the environment, traps and some brutal close-up kills, players will need to take down those responsible to ensure the future of the US.
It looks like an interesting distraction as a warm-up for Hitman.
Mortal Kombat XL – March 1
(Xbox One, PS4)
Mortal Kombat XL, which consists of the base game and both DLC Kombat Packs, releases this week for bloodthirsty-gamers.
In addition to last year’s fantastic fighting game, the package features the new playable characters released post-launch: Alien, Leatherface, Triborg, Bo’Rai Cho, Predator, Jason Voorhees, Tremor, Tanya and Goro. It also includes the new skins pack Apocalypse Pack and all previously released skins packs.
