Episode 20: Console Crossovers

Three big releases this week, but technically NONE of them are actually NEW.

First up, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings makes the leap from PC to Xbox360 this week. Pretty straightforward one player RPG. This version will also include a few bonus goodies: a CD with the in-game music, a quest handbook, and a game map.



Also making the console crossover, The House of the Dead 4 lands on PS3 this week as a downloadable from PSN. This is an old school classic zombie splattering first person shooter. Includes support for PlaystationMove.



The only other big release this week is Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat landing on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. This is just the first two Deadliest Warrior games with all the DLC combined into one disc. It does have some new goodies though: 30 new weapons, a Graveyard level and 6 full episodes of the show.



Looking out into the rest of the video game world:

Lost Planet 3 is coming to PC and consoles later this year. Here's the debut trailer:



A recent survey found the most anticipated games of 2012: for Xbox360 it's Halo 4, PS3 is Assassin's Creed III, and the only non-exclusive was for Wii with Madden 13. Speaking of games coming soon, rumor is that the next Grand Theft Auto may be coming this fall!

Skyrim for Xbox360 is getting upgraded to Kinect capability! After the update comes down, you'll be able to shout out powers, order around companions, and more. Watch the vid below for more details.



And there you have it, nothing really NEW this week but some HUGE stuff coming soon so keep those controllers ready and until next time, get out there and get your game on!
