The Quiet Before The Storm

New big releases out:

22nd (Friday) - Gears of War: Judgement (360), The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct (360, PS3 & WiiU) & Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS & WiiU).

26th (Tuesday) - Bioshock Infinite (360, PS3 & PC)

28th (Thursday) - Luigi's Mansion 2 Dark Moon (3DS)

I'm sure there are many people waiting for each of these games, but I'm most excited about Bioshock and Luigi's Mansion 2! Seriously can't wait. I put off the first Bioshock because I tend to stay away from blockbuster games apart from massive titles like Halo, when I changed my mind and gave it a chance I mentally slapped my old self. Bioshock 2 was a slight let down, fun for an hour then bland and lacking imagination. Things changed, Infinite seems totally re-mastered with a new perspective, a great colour palette and epic story.

It's been near 11 years since Luigi's Mansion on the GameCube! That long! I just hope that team Nintendo have put that time and the 3DS' capabilities to good use. By the looks of the vids so far, they have.

This week will be a good one!
