As we enter the month of May and get ever closer to E3, PC gamers can grab a WWII stealth game and a movie-based action game in stores and download a goofy RTS title and an RPG expansion.
Velvet Assassin:
Replay Studios and
Southpeak Games give us this long awaited stealth action title set in WWII. Playing Violet Sumner, the player tries to sabotage the evil Nazis' plans in a variety of missions. Killing Nazis is of course part of the game but there's also lots of sneaking around and using the shadows to cover your presence.
X-Men Origns: Wolverine: Will this game be the normal "mediocre to poor" movie adaptation or a great game in its own right? We actually have high hopes for this title thanks in part to the developer
Raven Software who in the past have made quite a few terrific PC titles for publisher
Activision. While it follows the plot of the upcoming film based on our favorite claw-popping-out-of-his-freakin'-hands mutant you can also expect some extras that the film doesn't show.
Stalin vs Martians: Delayed from last week, this weird arcade RTS game from no less than three different developers (Black Wing Foundation, Dreamlore and N-Game) is released via
Paradox Interactive's new
Mesmer Games imprint this week. Released via a number of downloadable game services, the game has some goofy looking aliens attacking the Russians in 1942. Hey this game has massive Stalin-like . . . things . . . in combat. You can't go wrong with that, can you?
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate: This is the third official expansion pack for the
Atari-published RPG game and the first not to be handled by the game's original developer
Obsidian Entertainment. Instead the indie dev team at
Ossian Studios created this downloadable-only expansion which will add 15 more gameplay hours and a number of new quests, monsters and more.
Hey thanks for not posting any actual release dates. Considering the topic and format of the post, it just wouldn't have made any sense.Posted at 12:22PM on Apr 27th 2009 by Mike
