Retail Releases: Week of May 14th, 2012

Feel the Payne

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 14 May 12 at 17:45

Sorry if this article is going out late for you European readers. I've been watching the Max Payne 3 launch trailer over and over... and over and over again. If the game's music is as good as the music in that video, I may just have to buy the soundtrack. That's clearly this week's big release, but here's the whole rundown.

North America -- May 15th

I really wish I could get Max Payne right now but I can't unfortunately. Wouldn't be surprised if it had a lot of DLC so maybe I'll wait for a GOTY.
Jump right out of a creek!

Max Payne has always had that score, and it is well done :)

MH The Rockstar - 1 hour "reveal" that really didn't reveal much. Need more details before I can form an objective opinion.

I'll wait for the complete edition of MP3. Forgot about Game of Thrones though! Maybe I'll trade in some games for that instead of SR3.

I am interested to see how badly Battleship tanks... it looks awful.

BATTLESHIP! HELL YES! But seriously, Max Payne should be a good one and I'll be playing Game of Thrones at some point.

I always thought the first two Max Payne games were pretty overrated and while the multiplayer set-up does sound interesting I wouldn't pick it up for more than £15.

I'll probably get Max Payne 3 at some point, but not now. Although the free 1600 points from Toys R Us is tempting.

Definitely picking up Akai Katana though. Tired of waiting, but not much more.

Oh shit -- can't get Max Payne 3 after all. Forgot that I gotta get the Blue Chrome controller this week, and Dragon's Dogma soon after. xD

AKAI KATANA and DIABLO III are all that matter.
