Resident Evil: Revelations HD<\/h3>\n

After getting some hands-on time with Resident Evil: Revelations HD<\/a>, it\u2019s hard not to recommend the handheld-to-console port of one of the strongest titles in the series.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil: Revelations returns to the survival horror gameplay of earlier series instalments, with returning elements such as a limited supply of ammunition, and more emphasis on exploration and puzzle solving; and\u2026 it\u2019s scary as hell.<\/p>\n

Far Cry 3: \u00a0Blood Dragon<\/h3>\n

Blood Dragon is a crazy twist on the setting and milieu of Far Cry 3\u2019s tropical location and time, and throws players into an 80\u2019s inspired futuristic sci-fi romp; and its just begging you to take notice.<\/p>\n

If colourful settings, weapons, and dinosaurs that shoot lasers out of their eyes are your thing, then Blood Dragon will be your new favourite pastime when it releases in May.<\/p>\n

State of Decay<\/h3>\n

Among the hordes of undead shooters this year, State of Decay looks to be one of the more interesting zombie titles to be heading our way.<\/p>\n

The game is an Xbox Live Arcade and PC title, and will throw players into an open-sandbox world, which will dynamically generate content and enemies based on your choices against the ever-increasing zombie threat.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to travel around the world, collecting resources and weapons to help fortify your home base, or face becoming one of the undead yourself.<\/p>\n
