It's a brand new year with brand new opportunities! So why play the same old games...? Those 2012 games are so...last year! This year is looking to be an awesome one in the gaming community so let's take a look at a few games set to come to our consoles this month. I hope your wallets are ready for this...
Anarchy Reigns - Xbox 360, PS3
Release date: 11th January
Think of Super Smash Bros, take away the cartoon-y nature, add a massive wad of epic badassness and you have a vague idea of what Anarchy Reigns is meant to look like. Sega has made a VERY wise move with this game! A whole load of badasses packed into one game, duking it out in true arena style...ah, how lovely! Sweet graphics, nice gameplay, tight combos, memorable characters, a multiplayer mode to die for and, what every gamer wants: a challenge. What more does one want? Go get Anarchy Reigns and I'm SURE you'll enjoy yourself if pummeling hordes of opponents to dust is what tickles your fancy.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge - Wii U
Release date: 11th January
Among the gaming community Ninja Gaiden is known as one of the bloodiest, most difficult, most kickass Hack 'n' Slash ninja game to ever have existed. It's revered as one of the toughest games out there. Ninja Gaiden 3, which was released on the Xbox and PS3 in March 2012, was a bit of a disappointment since it was too easy and toned down on the violence a tad. But that's all been "fixed" in this and has been slapped onto the brand new Wii U. So if you're looking for a challenging game with more ninja awesomeness than you know what to do with, grab a copy of Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge (and probably a Wii U. And while you're at it, could you get me a copy of each as well?)
DmC: Devil May Cry - Xbox 360, PS3
Release date: 15th January
The Devil Hunter Dante is back with a brand new adrenaline-filled, combo-stringing, ear-ringing, gun-toting, demon-smoking, trail-blazing, eyebrow-raising, smack-yo-mama-in-the-jaw-attitude game to add to the already RIDICULOUSLY sweet Devil May Cry series. Capcom passed the torch on to British-based game developers Ninja Theory to bring along the 5th addition to the family and, judging from the demo and gameplay videos, they have yet to disappoint. Sure, Dante's typical look has changed (and a LOT of fans aren't happy with it), but the brand new combo system that allows you to slice wave upon wave of demons into a million pieces in style has a crowd of us salivating by the gallon. If you want to ease yourself into the Action/Adventure genre, I recommend using the Devil May Cry series to do it. Grab DmC: Devil May Cry as quick as you can before it flies off the shelves!
Keep your eyes peeled for subsequent game releases because 2013 is going to be a niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice year for gaming!
