Above: The official theme of the article
Despite ಞthe ridiculous release schedule, there are still a number of bitchin’ games trickling out through the summer months to keep you busy long enough to forget the nice days outside.
JUNE
THE BIG PICK
Fight Night Round 4 – PS3, 360
Release date: June 23
Sports games aren’t generally GR’s specialty, cup of tea, or fav💧orite piece of ass, but when Fight Night Round 3 debuted as a launch title on the Xbox 360 almost four years ago, the title immediately became a hit. Think about it: how many times have you heard people go on about Round 3’s lifelike (at the time) next-gen graphics, the ease of the thumbstick-based controls or the smooth as butter sim/arcade-y gameplay? All the time, huh?
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Round 4 is one of our most eagerly anticipated games of the year. EA promises faster gameplay, an incredibly robust create-a-fighter mode, elimination of those stupid face-rubbing minigames, and star of The Hangover, Mike Tyson. Considering UFC 200﷽9 Undisputed sold over a million copies in its first month, we bet casual AND sports fans are eagerly awaiting this future hit.
WHAT ELSE?
The Conduit – Wii
Release date: June 23
Haven’t been a hell of a lot of FPSes on Nintendo’s sleek machine since its launch, even though that’s one genre we thought we’d see a lot of. Developer High Voltage seeks to reinvigorate interest with this shooter set in Washington DC with an alien conspiracy to wrap your All Seeing Eye around. We dug the澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:multiplayerand Ba🌄ttlestar Galactica’s Mark Sheppard 𒆙(Romo Lampkin) voices the main dude.
Overlord II – PC, PS3, 360
Release date: June 23
The first was something of a cult hit and in the next week you’ll have more minions at your disposal. You play again as a badass with little monsters to do your bidding. Apparently, the increase in minion AI enabl🔥es them to ride mounꦓts and sail ships. Lazy bastards.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood – PC, PS3, 360
Release date: June 29
Yeah, we’ve seen what Modern Warfare 2 and ODST have in store for us later this year, but in the meantime why not journey back to the old west with the follow-up to the original criminally overlooked title? As GR head honcho Eric Bratcher wrote during the fallout of E3, “In one half-hour session, we shot up a bar, stormed out ⛦of town on a stolen stagecoach, traded hot lead with the sheriff’s posse as they galloped alongside us, and used a cannon to blow up a riverboat. Plus, it’s the only shooter this year that let us fan the hammers of two pistols at once.”
DON'T FORGET
Marvel vs Capcom 2 – Xbox Live, PSN
Release date: June 29
For about 20 bucks, you can get your hands on this classic, downloadable through the interwebs (no need to pay exorbitant fees for a physical disc!). You will be taken for💎 a ride.
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil – Wii
Release date: June 23
The Wii remake of the GameCube remake of the PS1 game that was ported to the DS and Sega Saturn makes its graceful re-re-re-debut. If you didn’t check it out 13 years ago, giv🔥e it a shot now.
