‘Medal of Honor’ and ‘Lucha Libre’ among new games this week
New video games in stores this week:
“Medal of Honor” — The long-running WWII franchise moves into the modern age with a reboot that seeks to steal some thunder from the “Modern Warfare” games. Unfortunately, this one has been mired in controversy for including “Taliban” as a playable faction in multiplayer combat. (That designation was replaced by “Opposing Force” following the backlash.) Aside from the backlash, expect cutting-edge graphics, explosive action and lots of weapons and varied combat areas from DICE, the makers of “Battlefield: Bad Company 2.” Rated M for Mature. $60 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PCs.
“Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes of the Ring” — Masked wrestlers of Mexico finally get their video game due in this Konami game that includes more than 30 real-life luchadores and authentic Mexican wrestling venues. You can edit your wrestler’s mask or create your own fighter. An online mode called “Mask vs. Hair” mode sounds like it’s worth the price alone. Rated T for Teen. $30-$60 for Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii and Sony PSP.
Also out this week: “Kirby’s Epic Yarn” (Wii), “Uncharted 2: Game of the Year Edition” (PS3), “Just Dance 2” (Wii), “Super Scribblenauts” (DS), “Logic Machines” (DS), “Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes” (PS3, Wii), “Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals” (DS), “Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition” (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), “Disney Sing It: Party Hits” (Wii, PS3), “Invizimals” (PSP), “Battlestations: Pacific” (Mac OS), “SBK X” (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), “My Baby 3 and Friends” (DS), “I Love Puppies” (DS).
