‘Modern Warfare 3’ and ‘Skyrim’ top big video game release week
New video games this week:
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.” — Perhaps the year’s biggest game (at least in terms of budget and expectations), this one takes place after the cataclysmic world conflict of the last game (in which the White House itself was a battleground). This time out, there’s escalation on the world war front and you’re there to take part in the gritty, high-stakes combat. Rated T for Teen, $60-$100 for Standard and “Hardened” Editions, for Windows PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.
“Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.” — If you have about 100 hours to kill, you could do a lot worse than the new “Elder Scrolls” game, which offers large-scale, open-world role playing in a dragon-infested fantasy world. New graphics technology and more freedom to play the kind of character you want to be are promised in this huge game from Bethesda Softworks. Rated M for Mature. $60-$150 for Standard or Collector’s Editions, for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
