Episode 47: The Great Outdoors

As predicted, summer is gone and fall is here and I have FINALLY had some time to game. I played a few hours of Diablo 3 on Sunday and it was great. I hated taking such an extended break but the game is much smoother either due to less players or upgraded servers or both. Anywho, let's look at what's new in the world of video games, shall we?

Medal of Honor: Warfighter hits Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. It's the sequel to the Medal of Honor reboot from 2010 and expands the story of Preacher, Mother, and Voodoo as they battle across the Philippines and Somalia. Multiplayer gives you control of 12 elite units from around the world like British SAS, Russian Septznas, and our own Navy SEALs. 

Forza: Horizon is the big Xbox exclusive for the week. It's the 5th installment in the super realistic racing franchise with new features like destructible environments, night racing, and the ability to race against planes and helicopters.

Just Dance: Disney Party is on Xbox360 and Wii this week. Dancing game to a track list of 25 Disney songs from various old and new Disney movies and TV shows.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 and Cabela's Hunting Expeditions both land on Xbox360, PS3, and Wii this week. The first is based off a story by Andrew Kreisberg and the second uses a new Strategic View to plan your hunts.

Another game you may want to check out isThe Unfinished Swan for PS3. Not sure exactly what's going on here but it looks pretty amazing visually.

Also in gaming news, a live-action CGI trailer for Halo 4 is out and shows Master Chief's mind being invaded by a new enemy who sees memory of his transformation into a Spartain super-soldier.

So there you have it, some great games to get into now and Halo 4 and other big releases to come as the holidays grow closer. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
