‘Bastion’ and ‘Smurfs’ are new in video games this week
New video games this week:
“Bastion.” — An indie game from Supergiant Games, this one picked up several awards at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this year. Set in a crumbling fantasy world, this game is an action role-playing game with easy-to-learn controls. A Windows PC version is due later this year. Rated E-10+ for Everyone 10 and Older. $15, downloadable for Xbox 360.
“The Smurfs” and “The Smurfs Dance Party.” — Well, things are about to get pretty blue out there with the release of a live-action/computer-animated “Smurfs” movie. The obligatory video game adaptations are a mini-game and storybook collection called “The Smurfs” for the Nintendo DS and a rhythm game for the Wii featuring, “Iconic, easy to follow dance moves.” Sounds pretty Smurfy. Rated E for Everyone. $60, for Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii.
