Players can either choose to sacrifice or save their enemies \u2013 with sacrificing giving the player powerful spells, yet saving them will allow you to turn them into an ally.<\/p>\n<p>Soul Sacrifice will also take full control of the Vita\u2019s touch functionality.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4MhCeWJ68pU\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">All game releases this week<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/PC-release-tag.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44687\" alt=\"PC release tag\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/PC-release-tag.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"39\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Wargame 2: Airland Battle<br \/>\nFar Cry 3: Blood Dragon<br \/>\nFez<br \/>\nZeno Clash II<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44690\" alt=\"Xbox 360 release tag\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Xbox-360-release-tag.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"39\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (XBLA)<br \/>\nZeno Clash II<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44689\" alt=\"PS3 release tag\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/PS3-release-tag.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"39\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (PSN)<br \/>\nZeno Clash II<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44688\" alt=\"PS Vita release tag\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/PS-Vita-release-tag.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"39\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Soul Sacrifice<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming features and news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/53196-whats-wrong-with-gamings-heroes.html\">What\u2019s wrong with gaming\u2019s heroes?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/53217-godzilla-spotted-in-japan.html\">Godzilla spotted in Japan!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/53281-videos-you-should-watch-this-weekend.html\">Videos you should watch this weekend<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/53223-list-of-confirmed-next-gen-games.html\">List of confirmed next-gen games<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laser-shooting dinosaurs and sacrifices enter the frame this week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":53304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[9449,9760,9761,2365,9507,4407,21,6424,6578],"class_list":["post-53303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-april-games","tag-april-gaming","tag-blood-dragon","tag-far-cry-3","tag-far-cry-3-blood-dragon","tag-games-you-can-play-this-week","tag-headline","tag-soul-sacrifice","tag-this-weeks-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53303","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=53303"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53305,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53303\/revisions\/53305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
