Also, in my world of gaming, Diablo 3 has still been my only gaming vice. I have been dying to play some Gears of War 3 with my new controller and headset but haven't been able to get the gang online at the same time. Maybe this week. Anyway, let's dive into the new releases this week.
First up, my favorite game title in recent history: Lollipop Chainsaw coming to Xbox360 and PS3. You play as a cheerleader who takes on a zombie horde with a chainsaw (all while carrying the still-living severed head of her boyfriend). It plays like a better developed Duke Nukem and looks like the old school Grindhouse style horror movies from what the trailer shows.
Next up, get dirty with DiRT Showdown on Xbox360 and PS3. This is the 4th in the DiRT series featuring a racing tour, demolition mode, trick mode, and multiplayer mini games.
Lastly this week, Gravity Rush lands on VITA this week. You play as a girl named Kat who finds a cat that gives her the power to control gravity which she uses to defend her home city from monsters.
Also in the world of gaming, Angry Birds is coming to consoles with an updated HD version. Kinect has a new game on the way called NBA Baller Beats which plays like the dance games but you use a real basketball to keep the beat and in harder modes work in crossovers and pump fakes. Could actually be a useful tool for learning ball control and dribbling. Here's a trailer:
Nintendo's announcement of the Wii U was probably the biggest of E3 this year. I think it's going to be another flop (possibly worse than Wii or Gamecube) but here's the hard data if you're interested:
And that does it, a few new games, some fun stuff on the way, and all you need to know about the Wii U. Until next week, get out there and get your game on!
