MMO “Rift” and “Fight Night Champion” top game releases this week
New video games this week:
“Rift.” — A new massively multiplayer online role-playing game tht takes place in the fantasy world of Telara where a civil war is happening and elemental creatures do battle. It features the kind of things you’d expect in an MMO: guilds, player vs. player battles, crafting and deep character creation. Rated T for Teen. $50-$80 for Standard and “Collector’s Edition,” plus monthly subscription after the first 30 days. For Windows PCs.
“Fight Night Champion.” — Electronic Arts’ long-time “Fight Night” series goes dark and dirty with what it’s calling the most realistic depiction of the boxing industry to date. In addition to the blood, brutality and “realistic body damage and deformation,” the game includes a mature storyline about the grittier side of the sport. Graphically, it should be a powerhouse and it features 50 fighters including Julio Cesar Chavez, Mike Tyson and George Foreman. Rated M for Mature. $60 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
