There’s no shortage of quality to choose from this week, with Dishonored and XCOM looking like solid bets for PC and console gamers. If you’re after a portable experience, Pokemon Black/White Version 2 might be more suitable, with the latest entry in the hugely successful franchise unlikely to disappoint fans. If you have to pick one game, we’d go with either Dishonored or XCOM, with the latter currently generating more buzz here in the office.
- Pokemon Black/White Version 2 – DS
- Dishonored – Xbox 360, PS3, and PC
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Xbox 360, PS3, and PC
Worth a look
Oh Kinect, how we wish you were better. Fable – The Journey is the most obvious attempt to tap into the hardcore crowd with a Kinect game, but we can’t help but think most would simply prefer to be playing another traditional entry in the series. WRC 3 follows two rather limp games, although the recently released demo for the third game suggests the team has finally got its act together.
- Fable – The Journey – Kinect for Xbox 360
- WRC: FIA World Rally Championship 3 – Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Vita
And the rest…
- Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted – Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS, and DS
- Of Orcs And Men – Xbox 360, PS3, and PC
- Secret Files 3 – PC
- Harry Potter For Kinect – Kinect for Xbox 360
