Retail Releases: Week of August 13th, 2012

Hell or Hong Kong -- where are you heading?

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 13 August 12 at 17:45

After an ugly drought of very few new releases, this week we see two that should attract plenty of attention. It's a sign that this dry summer is almost over and soon we can resume using our consoles for more than streaming Netflix and watching silly cat videos with the Youtube app.


North America -- August 14th
Darksiders II
Sleeping Dogs

[via Gamestop]

Australia -- August 17th
Darksiders II
Sleeping Dogs (Releasing August 16th)

[via MightyApe]

Europe -- August 17th
Sleeping Dogs

[via MCV]

Note: According to our usual sources, Darksiders II releases in Europe on August 21st, not this week.

I wonder how many extra sales these games will get purely from bored gamers.

Wal-mart has the promotion here to give Darksiders to anyone buying the 2nd game.

my bro-in-law has the first one and wants the 2nd, since there is no wal-mart near where he lives, I'll pick up both, he'll pay me and I'll get a free game !

Win !

I'll pick up Sleeping Dogs but I want to at least start Just Cause 2 beforehand - which means finishing the original first.

Sweet, personally I can't see how people could get bored. There are more than enough games out there to keep you going.

I'm gonna get both because apparently I preordered Darksiders II a long time ago and completely forgot about it. Sleeping Dogs is my priority, though. It looks really good.

Still debating on whether to get Sleeping Dogs on release or wait till it's about £20. Not sure if it's going to be worth a release date purchase.
