The biggest news in my world of gaming is the announcement that DIABLO 3 WILL LAUNCH ON MAY 15TH! I've been waiting for this game for around a decade (basically since Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction came out). Pre-orders are available starting today (I'll be getting mine today).
More news from the world of the dead, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City hits Xbox360 and PS3 today. You play as a member of the Umbrella security team who has been sent in to cover up the outbreak. This one will include a 4 player co-op for the campaign.
Silent Hill: HD Collection is also hitting Xbox360 and PS3 today. It features remastered versions of Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams and Silent Hill 3.
Last on the dead list, the first full trailer for The Walking Dead video game made it's debut during an IGN web show. Click here to check it out (trailer is around the 8:00 mark in the video).
Also hitting stores today, Ninja Gaiden 3 for Xbox360, PS3, and PC. I refuse to play these games because they are SO FREAKING HARD! For players who like the precision and stealth type of games, get ready to fall in love. This time Ryu will face off against terrorists with the "Dragon Sword" absorbed in his arm.
The last big release this week is Armored Core V for Xbox360 and PS3. This installment focuses more on tactics and landscape to take down the competition. Online 5 on 5 combat features an "Operator" on each team who acts as the field general calling out orders and overseeing things.
Other big news from the gaming world, Call of Duty: MW3 Collection 1 will open the 2 new Spec Ops missions and 4 multiplayer maps the Elite members already have available to the public today.
Apparently the ending of Mass Effect 3 wasn't up to par for a growing number of gamers and they are fighting back! A petition, online donation site, and video have been built to try and fight for a new ending to be made. Click here to check it out.
Lastly, and possibly 2nd most exciting news this week for me, Skyrim is about to drop an update with some badass new melee kill moves and FINALLY adding kill cams for ranged and magic kills. Being a dual caster myself, I can't wait!
Before I call it a day, I thought I would share an interesting statistic I found: OVER HALF of American households have AT LEAST one game system in them. And 65% of those are in the living room. We are quickly becoming the majority :)
Well, that does it for this week. Lots of new games and tons of buzz about what's to come. Until next week, get out there and get your game on!
