‘National Geographic Challenge’ and ‘Jaws’ games lead slow week
New video game releases this week:
“National Geographic Challenge.” — A world-exploration-themed trivia game that’s family friendly and which can be enjoyed by four players at a time, this game also includes 60 minutes of video and hundreds of images in addition to mini-games, puzzles and riddles. Knowledge! Rated E for Everyone. $20-$30 for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
“Jaws: Ultimate Predator.” — Apparently, it’s never too late to adapt a film into a video game (and this one’s been adapted before). In this title, set 35 years after the original movie, you take the role not of terrified humans but of the shark itself, defending its turf against whales, sea serpents and other creatures who dare try to take the “Ultimate predator” title from this shark. All right, maybe it’s a slow week for new video game releases, but that’s OK. You had us at “Jaws.” Rated T for Teen, $30-$40 for Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS.
Also out this week: “Assassin’s Creed Revelations” (Windows PC), “Nano Assault” (3DS), “APB Reloaded” (PC), “ArmA X: 10th Anniversary Edition” (PC), “Fix It” (Wii, PC), “Mafia II: Director’s Cut” (Mac), “Jungle School” (Nintendo DS), “Infinity Blade II” (iOS devices), “The Sly Collection” (downloadable for PlayStation 3).
