We&#8217;ve got a few big releases, an expansion for &#8216;Left 4 Dead 2,&#8217; the downloadable game &#8216;Comic Jumper,&#8217; and of course, &#8216;NBA Jam&#8217; for the Wii.<\/p>\n<h6><!--more--><\/h6>\n<h5>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B002GPPPS4\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B002I0J6DC\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>On paper, this sounds like something out of a fifth grader&#8217;s fever dream. <em>&#8220;What if the &#8216;Metal Gear&#8217; guys made a &#8216;Castlevania&#8217; game and it played like &#8216;God of War?&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s crazy, but it&#8217;s real, and it&#8217;s coming out today. From early reviews and hands-on videos and articles, things are looking good. But it&#8217;s a distinctly new direction for the franchise, so it&#8217;s hard to say just how things are going to turn out.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out for our review of &#8216;Lords of Shadow&#8217; next week. We&#8217;ve got a review copy coming in soon.<\/p>\n<h5>NBA 2K11 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B003IMGC2C\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B003IMGFUG\/panandscathed-20\">PC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B003IMAML4\/panandscathed-20\">PS2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B003IMGC9U\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B003IMGF6A\/panandscathed-20\">PSP<\/a>, <a href=\"B003IME9UO\">Wii<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>Basketball fans, rejoice! The pre-season has started, you&#8217;re just a few weeks away from the beginning of the real season, and &#8216;NBA 2K11&#8217; is finally out. In addition to everything you&#8217;ve come to expect from the franchise, the Jordan Challenge mode allows you to attempt some of Michael Jordan&#8217;s more impressive career feats. You&#8217;ll be freaking players every way like MJ. It&#8217;s gonna be a good day.<\/p>\n<h5>Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00319DX4W\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00319DX4M\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>You may be familiar with Ninja Theory (not to be confused with Team Ninja) as the folks who developed the PS3 title &#8216;Heavenly Sword.&#8217; Their new game &#8216;Enslaved&#8217; is similar in gameplay if not in style. It features some tremendous voice acting and an incredibly cool dystopian future type setting. And yes, Andy Serkis is involved again too.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s another big week for videogames.
