Retail Releases: Week of October 24th, 2011

Love is a battlefield

Written by Perpalicious on 24 October 11 at 21:01

Explosions, bullets, tanks, rockets, and crumbling walls. How sophisticated yet primitive and sadistic fictional warfare is. Gamers around the world get a healthy dose of some new warfare with the release of DICE's Battlefield 3.

Some gamers are lovers, not fighters. They might prefer dancing or throwing imaginary balls. If that's your thing, then pick up Harmonix's hit sequel, Dance Central 2, and Rare's sequel, Kinect Sports: Season Two, to get a fine looking vastus medialis.

Don't want to move or blow things up? No problem since games cover all statistical outliers. Just check out the list below to see what's being released in your part of the world.

Battlefield has arrived! Gonna be interesting to read the reviews. I'm gonna hold off on buying it until I know the multiplayer works right. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some nasty bugs the first couple of weeks.

Nothing this week. Boycotting EA games until about a year after release. Got Batman, Rage and Dark Souls to keep me busy until Assassin's Creed and Skyrim.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some nasty bugs the first couple of weeks.There will be a Day 1 patch and all the reviews I've read have commended the MP portion, while some, specifically IGN, think the SP doesn't fit well with the game because it is so different.

Pass. The Cursed Crusade game had me interested but the demo pretty much saved my wallet.

If I can get a free copy of BF3 I MIGHT play it for the story.

That's weird... I knew BF3 was coming out but didn't realise that there was going to be anything else released for a couple of years. (Aside from Skyrim of course)
