But now, let us unsheathe our blade, be ready to battle, and reveal the games of the week!
Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver
Platform(s): Nintendo DS
Release Date: Thursday 25th March
Genre: RPG
RRP: $69.95
Demo: N/A
PALGN links: Trailer
Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver reinvents two Game Boy classics – Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver – for the Nintendo DS. Players can relive treasured memories or simply catch them all over again. Starting in the Johto region with your choice of Totodile, Cyndaquil or Chikorita, HeartGold and SoulSilver feature updated graphics, sound and full touch-screen functionality. You can even choose a Pokemon to follow your character around on their adventure, just as Pikachu did in Pokemon Yellow. Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver both come bundled with a Pokewalker for taking your favourite pocket monster out on the go.
Red Steel 2
Platform(s): Wii
Release Date: Thursday 25th March
Genre: Action
RRP: $79.95 (Game), 99.95 (MotionPlus Bundle)
Demo: N/A
PALGN links: Trailer
Red Steel 2 hopes to be the ultimate combination of sword and gun fighting on the Nintendo Wii. Compatible only if the MotionPlus is plugged in, Ubisoft’s latest endeavour sports some impressive gameplay. Guns can be aimed with an astonishing degree of accuracy, while sword-fights are much more than a simple waggle-fest. The on-screen blade precisely follows your actions and even gauges the strength of the swing. If you haven’t jumped on the MotionPlus bandwagon yet, Red Steel 2 can be found bundled together with the device, in addition to the standalone game.
