Here&#8217;s the\u00a0picks for the games releasing this week,\u00a029 August &#8211; 2 September 2016:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Resident Evil 4<\/h3>\n<p><strong>30\u00a0August 2016 (Xbox One, PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the\u00a0re-release of Resident Evil 5 and 6 on Xbox One and PS4 earlier this year, Resident Evil 4 (arguably the best entry in the series) gets its turn this week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5C1UfU\">Resident Evil 4 tells the story of Leon Kennedy\u2019s mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the president\u2019s daughter, who has apparently been kidnapped by a Spanish cult known as Los Illuminados. The game debuted in 2005 on GameCube and then PlayStation 2, and marked a turning point in the third-person shooter genre with its over-the-shoulder camera.<\/p>\n<p id=\"hjCgSq\">The PS4 and Xbox One ports of Resident Evil 4 will come with all of the original game\u2019s bonus content, as well as elements that Capcom added in later versions. That includes the side story featuring Ada Wong, which was first released in the game\u2019s PS2 port, and the Mercenaries mode.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Resident Evil 4, 5, 6 \u2013 Announce Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GsHC2tb7l64?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">World of Warcraft: Legion<\/h3>\n<p><strong>30 August 2016 (PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>World of Warcraft players will be excited to know that the sixth expansion into the insanely popular MMO is arriving this week, adding a new world area, visual upgrades, an increase in level cap from 100 to 110, artifact weapons for each class, the return of a familiar villain, and a new hero class &#8211; the demon hunter.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"World of Warcraft: Legion Cinematic Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eYNCCu0y-Is?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Review originally\u00a0published on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/4-exciting-games-releasing-in-sa-this-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"canonical\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Which brand of graphics card should you buy?\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/98724-which-brand-of-graphics-card-should-you-buy.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Which brand of graphics card should you buy?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Highest-rated video games of 2016 (so far)\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/99002-highest-rated-video-games-of-2016-so-far.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Highest-rated video games of 2016 (so far)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to How to buy an Oculus Rift in South Africa: what it will cost\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/gadgets\/99350-how-to-buy-an-oculus-rift-from-south-africa-what-it-will-cost.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">How to buy an Oculus Rift in South Africa: what it will cost<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what games are hitting local stores and online retailers this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":102495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[13317,21537,14630,8054,635],"class_list":["post-102489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-new-releases","tag-one-way-trip","tag-releases","tag-resident-evil-4","tag-world-of-warcraft"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102489"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":102497,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102489\/revisions\/102497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
