Armored Core V is a return for the popular mech-series, which hasn&#8217;t been around since 2008.<\/p>\n<p>With the latest release, the devs are looking to move back to the series&#8217; roots, by focusing a lot more on environmental and tactical gameplay (as opposed to the gung-ho approach in the last few titles). The locations will determine your approach.<\/p>\n<p>The game also features some massive 5v5 multiplayer, where you and 4 companions will be going up against another team to achieve various goals &#8211; while one team member gets to wear the daddy-pants and oversee the operation and shout out commands.<\/p>\n<p>If big flying robots is your thing (and it should be) &#8211; look out for Armored Core V this Friday, 23 March 2012.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34384\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34384\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34384\" title=\"Armored Core V 02\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02.jpg\" alt=\"Armored Core V\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-530x298.jpg 530w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Armored-Core-V-02-250x140.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-34384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Armored Core V<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a huge Total War fanboy like Nic, you&#8217;ll definitely be excited about the stand-alone expansion that&#8217;s hitting this Friday &#8211; Total War 2: Fall of the Samurai.<\/p>\n<p>Fall of the Samurai explores the conflict between the Imperial throne and the last Shogunate in 19th century Japan, 400 years after the events of the original game.
