Shooters “Bulletstorm” and “Killzone 3” debut this week
New video game releases this week:
“Bulletstorm.” — Is it, as Fox News recently asked, “The worst video game in the world?” Probably not, but the first-person shooter from Epic Games has already earned attention for its over-the-top gore and violence, sexual innuendo, and no-holds-barred action. It’s also got a story from Marvel Comics “Punisher” writer Rick Remender. Rated M for Mature. $60 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PCs.
“Killzone 3.” — Lest you think there’s only room for one big-budget shoot-’em-up this week, Sony’s sequel may not be as titillating sa “Bulletstorm,” but it will tempt players with 3-D TV compatibility and the ability to play the entire game with the PlayStation Move controller, the biggest PS3 title yet to do so. Rated M for Mature. $60-$130 for Standard and “Helghast Edition” for PlayStation 3.
Also out this week: “Gray Matter” (PC), “Radiant Historia” (Nintendo DS), “Ys I & II Chronicles” (Sony PSP), “De Blob 2” (Nintendo Wii, PS3, DS), “EverQuest II: Destiny of Velious” (PC), “Knights Contract” (PS3, Xbox 360), “Dreamcast Collection” (Xbox 360), “The Egyptian Trilogy” (PC), “TrackMania: Build to Race” (Wii, DS), “Tin Can” (DS), “Nanda’s Island” (DS), “Fallout: New Vegas — Dead Money” (downloadable for PS3 and PC), “Painkiller: Redemption” (downloadable for PC), “Gemini Rue” (PC), “Cities in Motion” (PC), “Trapped Dead” (PC).
