‘El Shaddai’ and ‘No More Heroes’ port arrive in stores this week
New video games this week:
“El Shaddai:Ascension of the Metatron.” — This highly anticipated Japanese game is a Biblical epic loosely based on the Book of Enoch and involves rogue angels who are trying to build the Tower of Babel. The gameplay varies as different parts of the game reflect viewpoints of each of the angels, inspiring both 2-D and 3-D styles in this single-player fantasy adventure. The screenshots we’ve seen look gorgeous; it’s a unique-sounding game, for sure. Rated T for Teen. $60, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
“No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise.” — Those who missed the Nintendo Wii versions of this strange, bloody and slyly humorous game series can catch up, now in HD. The PlayStation 3 version repackages content from “No More Heroes” with new modes and PlayStation Move compatibility as the assassin Travis tries to move up the ranks of the world’s top hitmen. Rated M for Mature, $40, for PlayStation 3.
