This Week In Games


2013’s run of one huge release per week continues except this time we’ve got two humdingers coming your way. Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm is technically an expansion pack — but come on son! You know it’s going to be massive. God of War: Ascension is also coming out this week, which is another biggie. At least the funds from your wallet are being siphoned on a week to week basis instead of ALL AT ONCE!

God of War: Ascension (PS3)

What is it? Yes, you may have heard of this mildly popular series. This time it has multiplayer.
Should you care? The single player is typically epic in scale, but familiar. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve played so far in the game’s multiplayer. It’s the kind of thing that sounds like a bad idea, but the team has done a great job with the character classes.

Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze (3DS)

What is it? It’s one of those crazy DS/3DS games I have no idea exists until I go looking for new games for the ‘This Week In Games’ post! This is based on a Mattel fashion doll franchise.
Should you care? Yeah, probably not.

Police Force 2 (PC)

What is it? Sorry, but I know absolutely zip about this game. And there’s very little info out there. I’m guessing it’s some sort of legit police sim game? Maybe you guys and girls can help me out here!
Should you care? If you love police work, you might like this! I have literally no idea!

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 360/PS3/PC)

What is it? It’s a sequel to that other Sniper game that was kind of mediocre. Surprised this game got a sequel. It must have sold well.
Should you care? Based on the first game, I’m going to say no. But that may be a little unfair considering I haven’t really seen anything of the game itself.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm (PC)

What is it? Bro, it’s Starcraft II bro.
Should you care? I think if you care about Starcraft II, you’re going to care about this. Otherwise. You won’t. I know, this is elementary stuff, but I can’t think of any other way to put it! In short: I get the feeling you don’t need me to tell you whether or not to care about this!

The Basement Collection (PC)

What is it? This is a collection of Ed McMillen flash game output on disc. Pretty cool actually. I didn’t know this was getting a retail release.
Should you care? Definitely.
