Video game releases this week
As part of my weekly mission to keep you in the loop (no, stand here. The loop is right here.), I’m going to be posting new video game releases every week.
Most games are out on Tuesdays, except for the odd first-party Nintendo release, which sometimes happens on Sundays.
These appear in our print edition in Best Bets on Tuesdays as well.
For the week of June 10:
“Green Day: Rock Band” — Last year’s “Beatles: Rock Band” was a surprisingly weak seller, but MTV is hoping the punk trio’s appeal will skew bigger and younger. The game includes 47 tracks which can be exported to your “Rock Band” game library and, like “Beatles,” includes three-part vocal harmonies. A “Plus” version that sells for $10 more also includes codes for six more songs. Rated T for Teen. $50-$70, for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
“Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11” — Well. A lot has happened since the last “Tiger Woods PGA” game, huh? Apart from Woods sharing the cover art with golfer Rory McIlroy this time, the newest Tiger game also adds the Ryder Cup tournament and includes 24-player online tournaments. Expect some graphical improvements as well and, we hope, minimum controversy. Rated E for Everyone. $50-$60, for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Also out this week: “Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker” (Sony PSP), “Disgaea Infinite” (PSP), “Mega Man Zero Collection” (Nintendo DS), “Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands” (Windows PC), “House, M.D.” (PC), “The Bachelor: The Videogame” (Wii, DS), “Let’s Play Flight Attendant” (DS), “Let’s Play Garden” (Wii, DS), “Legend of Kay” (DS), “Mini Ninjas” (Mac).
