Just A Week Away Again

Welcome back to another edition of Just a Week Away. So onto the topic at hand, it seems someone decided that June should be the next huge release month with 10th June being the major day of the month. Already dreading it and don't think my bank account will cope with all this spending.

So what's coming out you ask? well let's begin this list...

Friday 3rd June
Hunted: The Demon's Forge
Have to admit this is looking pretty sweet so far, its a co-op dungeon action game. Think fantasy meets a shooter is the way they have been describing this game. Bascially you a mercenary team hired to discover the truth behind the disappearances of the lands villagers. The trailer looks good and with being able to do awesome co-op combat moves, the promise of a good co-op game and being able to make your own dungeon levels that can be shared I'm pretty much sold on this game.
GAME is also doing a special edition that's give two bonus levels (Assassins and Demons) and its the same price as the normal edition so think I will be going for this deal.




Friday 10th June
White Knight Chronicles II
Basically a japanese RPG, set one year after the first one which I've still not opened and just found out you get a copy of the first one remastered on the disk. Got to say watching the trailer the game graphics are pretty sweet, this is on my list to get but not sure yet if it will be a day one purchase yet.



Duke Nukem Forever
I've never played one before so I want to see what all the fuss is about, of course I'm not sure about a day one purchase. I do love my shooters but they have to be fun and have a good story to be day one pick ups, again though I have heard it's meant to be funny and a very good game. So in fact I can see it being either a sale item or rental, guess have to see closer to the date on what I do.

Red Faction: Armageddon
I loved the first Red Faction and really enjoyed the second one, but the last one did not really go down with me. Maybe I did not give it a big chance and I will try it again but this new one I'm really not sure about. Now adding in a horror alien theme just makes me think they trying to copy Dead Space, but least the game is going back towards more a shooter then open world. Probably be a rental at best unless something really amazing happens in the next few days.

inFamous 2
Super hero game, well anti hero. You get to choose to be good or bad with the choices you make in the game. Rental or sale pick up to be honest, don't get me wrong the idea behind the game series is pretty sweet and I love the cool powers and the choice to be good or bad in a open world. But the first game did not suck me in, it just got added to the pile after the first play session. Again maybe it was like Red Faction and I did not give it a fair shot and I will go back to it but I don't see a reason to pick up the second one on launch day.

White Knight Chronicles Origins
This as just appeared out of the blue without any word for me, basically its a PSP GAME and is set 10,000 years before the first one in the series. No difference really than the PS3 ones other then the story, so if I do pick up the second one I will get this one too. Although being on PSP pretty much guaranties it will be in the sale lol


Well that's the first two weeks covered and there's still more to come, stay tuned for another edition of "Just a Week Away"

  1. All of those are purchases for me. Still tempted to pre-order all of those out on the 10th despite only being able to play one game at a time. I'm going to see if I can do the being bad thing in inFamous2. I find it difficult to be bad in videogames. lol

  2. all of them? damn Galerian are you trying to beat my collection? lol

    I'm just the same when it comes to moral choices, always say I will go bad but always do the good instead. Too much of a hero :p
