‘Catherine’ and Namco classics in 3-D new in games this weeks
“Catherine.” — A very adult-themed game about a 32-year-old commitment-phobe who’s being pressured by his girlfriend (named Katherine) to go long-term even as he’s tempted by a gorgeous bombshell (named Catherine). Then things get complicated. The game, from the producer of “Persona 3” and “Persona 4,” then turns into a horror thriller with twists, turns, romantic moral choices and, most surprisingly, multiplayer game options. Rated M for Mature. $60-$80 for Standard and “Love Is Over” Deluxe Editions, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
“Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions.” — The long-running Namco series go 3-D on the portable Nintendo system, but they also employ motion and gyro sensors as well as the touch screen to try to liven up decades of franchise fatigue. Rated E-10+ for Everyone 10 and Older. $40, for Nintendo 3DS.
Also out this week: “Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team” (downloadable for Xbox 360 and PS3), “The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff” (PC, Mac), “Match 3 Madness” (Nintendo DS), “Wildlife Park Tycoon” (PC), “Dragon Shoot” (Nintendo Wii), “Section 8: Prejudice” (downloadable for PS3), “Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove” (3DS), “Back to the Future: The Game - Episode 5” (downloadable for PS3).
