Episode 17: Fairways & Bails of Hay

Still eagerly counting the days till Diablo 3 hits stores. Good thing I've had Skyrim to DEVOUR my time until then. But enough about me, let's talk gaming...

Nintendo apparently took the week off and Sony doesn't have much going on either this week. Not that Microsoft is having a bumper crop but they win 3:1:0 this week.

Hitting Xbox360 and PS3 this week is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13. The game that has set the bar for golf gaming is taking the next big step this year adding Kinect support for Xbox360. Now you will be able to adjust your natural swing to nail that difficult shot. They are also adding Legacy Challenge mode where you face off against Tiger starting as a toddler and continuing through to future Tiger.



And here's a cool video of Tiger Woods trying the game out on Kinect for himself:



Speaking of Kinect, Country Dance All Stars lands on Xbox360 today. The first 2 Country Dance games were Wii exclusives but this version will be Kinect exclusive (for now at least). The soundtrack includes a bunch of country heavyweights like Braid Paisley, Randy Travis, and Lady Antebellum.



The only other big release this week is also Xbox360 only, Capcom Digital Collection. This combines 8 recent Xbox Live Arcade games into one disc including 1942: Joint Strike and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2.

That's it for the big releases this week, let's see what else is going on out there:

Those who were up in arms about the ending to Mass Effect 3 can rest a little easier. One of the co-founders of Bioware (the company that made the game) posted a very lengthy message (Click here to read the full message) saying they will address fans complaints and provide "more closure" in a future content download. Not sure exactly what that means but we will see.

For those who can't wait till June for Darksiders 2: Here's a nice trailer showing Death whipping some angel ass.



Sony may be quiet this week but that won't last long: The highly addictive Little Big Planet franchise is adding a kart racing game called Little Big Planet Karting later this year.



It was also mentioned that a sequel to Epic Mickey will be coming our way later this year so keep that in the back of your mind. And that about wraps things up for this week, a handful of games (although, Tiger Woods is big enough to get it's own release week) and lots of goodies to come. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
