PALGN Weekly Releases - 22/05/11

PALGN Feature | Dead or a drive.
Leading off from last weeks welcome onslaught of A-grade titles, we enter a slow period of few releases. Assuming you've all got some money to throw around spending your coin on the fantasy epic The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and the crime noir thriller L.A. Noire, this week has two equally promising titles (as can be seen below), along with the rail shooting carnage of RELOAD Gun Bundle for the Nintendo Wii, and the hack and slash action of Samurai Warriors: Chronicles on the Nintendo 3DS.

When push comes to shove, and we mean that quite literally, there are two premiere titles this week. One for your home, and one for your hands. Will you be driving or dying?

DiRT 3


Platform(s): Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Release Date: Thursday 26th May
Genre: Racing
RRP: $98.00
PALGN links: Trailer


Satisfying the rallying dreams of armchair drivers around the world, the third entry in the Colin McRae Rally DiRT series keeps true the popular racing gameplay the fans know and love. Taking things a step further, DiRT 3 pushes players through a new obstacle course in the gymkhana mode, and offers a wealth of party focused modes, including capture the flag and zombie infection. For the serious racers, the new hardcore mode forces players to use only the cockpit, removes all assists, and throws in snow and rain effects to make the race all the more challenging. DiRT 3 will be out this Thursday on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.


Dead or Alive: Dimensions


Platform(s): Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: Thursday 26th May
Genre: Fighting
RRP: $68.00
PALGN links: Screenshots | Trailer


Dead or Alive: Dimensions joins Super Street Fighter IV as another portable fighting title. Rather than continue the core Dead or Alive story, Dimensions takes players through major events from the entire saga via Chronicles Mode. Featuring the largest playable character line-up, Dimensions promises to offer plenty of content to satisfy both old and new fans. Dead or Alive: Dimensions will be available this Thursday on the Nintendo 3DS. Look for a review on PALGN very soon.


Thursday 26th May:

DiRT 3 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)
Dead or Alive: Dimensions (Nintendo 3DS)
RELOAD Gun Bundle (Wii)

Friday 27th May:

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles (Nintendo 3DS)


Coming next week: Hunted The Demons Forge (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC).

Release dates are subject to change without notice.

I've already pre-ordered Dirt 3 off steam. Codemasters make damn good racing games.

Ummm, Samurai Warriors Chronicles was a 3DS launch title. Unless it's coming back in stock since its been a while since I last saw it for sale.
