New Releases April 12th 2011

Patapon 3 (PSP)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Strategy
Publisher: Sony Computer Enterainment
Developer: Pyramid
Online Play: 8 versus/ 4 Co op
Local: 8 versus/ 4 Co op

Patapon is bad for a new adventure. This one has some added multiplayer to its musical gameplay. I never really liked this game but always thought the Patapon are awesome looking.

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan (PS3/Wii/Xbox)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Shooter
Publisher: Teyon
Developer: Teyon

I don’t have any info for this game it looks like a squeal to a WiiWare game. I think it’s a shooter using the motion controllers for Playstation Move, Xbox Kinect, and Wii.

 




Rio (PS3/Wii/Xbox)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Party
Publisher: THQ

Another “motion: type party game, but this one is based on the animated movie Rio.  Never even heard of the movie and both are the aimed for the kiddies. Not my cup of tea.



Trackmania Turbo (DS)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Racing
Publisher: City Interactive
Developers: Firebrand Games/ Nadeo
Online Play: 4 Versus
Local Play: 4 Versus


I couldn’t find much information on this on another racing game. A couple racing games coming out this week. Most racing games don’t do to well other then the Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, and Need for Speed series. I will have to ask my DS playing friends to check it out for me.

Squinkies (DS)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Fucking children’s game
Publisher: Activision

This piece of shit from Activision puts you in control of  Squinkie Princess in search of her fucking squinkie fucking friends. With over 250 squinkies to “collect” by winning mini games, such as Squinkies Puzzle, Squinkies Pool, Squinkies Chains, Squinkies Paint or Squinkies Chomp. This game looks terrible, and I doubt I will play it. Never know the Mini Games might be fun.




MotorStorm: Apocalypse (PS3/ Xbox)
Released Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Racing
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Evolution Studios
Online Play: 16 Versus
Local Play: 4 Versus


I’ve played an older MotorStorm and it was pretty rad. I am not a huge fan of the off road racing games. Freakstyle was pretty badass though. 16 player online sounds fucking cool. If I see this one in the bargain bin in a few months I will pick it up for sure.

Fantastic Pets (Xbox)
Released Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Virtual Pet
Publisher: THQ
Developer: Blitz Games

This pile of puke is a virtual pet game that probably sucks more the Tamagotchi. Tamagotchi was the only pet game out actually and the only that counted your steps and killed your pet if you didn’t feed and clean up after it. It’s exclusively for Kinect and “puts you in the game”, another stupid “motion” game.  

Micheal Jackson The Experience (PS3/Xbox/Wii/DS)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Music
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal

This a game for the Jackson fan to spend more money on the dead wacko. Kids can moonwalk and sing Michael’s infamous hits out of tune. Do you know anyone that can sing like MJ? This game is going to be impossible for me considering I can’t sing or dance. 

LEGO Battles: Ninjago (DS)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Battle
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive
Developer: Hellbent Games

Another fucking LEGO game man there is a lot of these coming out lately. Lego Batman was the last one I played and it was pretty fun actually. Being on DS will most likely cut down the gameplay compared to the console versions.

Dungeon Hunter: Alliance (PSN)
Release Date: April 12th, 2011
Genre: Action- RPG
Publisher: Gameloft

Another Gauntlet style Co op Action RPG, these games have been over done. Who has a clue if this will be another piece of shit. If it’s not too pricy I might get it, I liked Gauntlet, fucking classic.
