faces and introduction of some new heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s our picks for the games releasing this week,\u00a022-26 August:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>23 August 2016 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deus Ex: Human Revolution\u00a0was a breakout hit in 2011, mixing up the monotony of first-person shooters and introducing some clever gameplay mechanics to the world of Deus Ex.<\/p>\n<p>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided sees the same team of creators emboldened by their success and working on an even grander scale, continuing the role-playing story of the consequences of human augmentation with technology.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a robust-looking third-person \/ first-person hybrid that&#8217;s already picking up some favourable reviews, and lovers of shooters and RPGs should be in line for this blockbuster release.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Deus Ex: Mankind Divided | Launch trailer | PS4\"

Corsa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>26\u00a0August 2016 (Xbox One, PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The racing-sim genre has evolved quite substantially in the last couple years.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the second-rate (if we can call them that) entries onto the track always seem to be pushed aside by the far superior Gran Turismo and Forza series, with each holding a solid grip\u00a0on different platforms.\u00a0Assetto Corsa is here to change that.<\/p>\n<p>The hardcore racer\u00a0made its debut on PC back in December 2014, where it developed a name for itself amongst the racing community for its realistic handling and graphics.<\/p>\n<p>The console versions\u00a0include over 90 high-performance cars, including the Ferrari LaFerrari, Pagani Zonda R, and Mercedes C9, plus over 20 different track \u201cconfigurations\u201d, including courses from Silverstone, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Autodromo Nazionale Monza and Nurburgring-Nordschleife.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
