You Don't Know Jack - Multi-platform - 2/8/11
We haven't seen a retail store version of You Don't Know Jack since the release of their second Playstation game called You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 way back in 2000. Sure, there's been other downloadable or web versions since then, but it's great to see this series on store shelves again. Fun Fact: At this year's VG30 New Years Party, we hooked up a netbook to a 52" screen, hooked in a few USB keyboards, and spent the night playing You Don't Know Jack: The Ride. Cookie, I can't wait to hear you again.
Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds - Multi-Platform - 2/15/11
Continuing our month of resurrection, Capcom is bringing back the amazingly fun fighting game series this month. Fans of the series have been eagerly anticipating the next in this so-over-the-top-and-broken-it's-still-fun series for years. I found out today that Spencer from the Bionic Commando games is in this one, which I'm really excited about. Beat up your friends in teams of three later this month.
Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of Ashardalon - Board Game - 2/15/11
Seeing the popularity of the Castle Ravenloft Board Game searches on the site, it's not surprising to see that Wizards is putting out a similar game, but this time with a focus on, well, Dungeons and Dragons. There were some gameplay elements from Castle Ravenloft that probably won't feel right when exploring a dragon's lair, so we'll have to see the rules before seeing if this is worth picking up.
Bulletstorm - Multi-Platform - 2/22/11
Bulletstorm is Epic's newest First Person Shooter in which your goal is, well, a high score. Sure, there's a story there, but the meat of the game is to come up with interesting ways to destroy your enemies to build up combos worth more and more points. The game looks pretty, but the real reason to watch it is that the XBox 360 version of the game includes a Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta key. PS3 Owners, sorry, your limited edition is a bit lacking.
Killzone 3 - PS3 - 2/22/11
On the other hand, if PS3 owners are looking for a First Person Shooter on 2/22, they're probably going to be looking at Killzone 3. The next game in the critically acclaimed series is sure to draw praise from the gaming industry, and is worth at least taking a look at.
March is an interesting month with the release of the 3DS, and a couple other sequels that are raising some eyebrows. Come back next month to see what's in store for your digital needs, and as always, Happy Gaming!
