With the busy week at CES it's important not to lose sight of other more mundane things happening, like game releases! In fact, this week's posting will include last week's news as well, for a total of six titles. A couple of interesting new ones to be sure, as well as an anniversary edition of a game which made a notable impact on FPS gaming ten years ago.
First off are last weeks releases. The arrival of Saint's Row 2 offers something for those looking for more criminal activity to satisfy themselves, perhaps having already played out Grand Theft Auto IV over the holidays. Additionally the PC version of Cid the Dummy (also out on Wii, PS2 and PSP) looks interesting enough from a platform game point of view and has a demo available as well.
This week we've got the PC version of Mirror's Edge (which has underperformed for EA on console thusfar, but offers some very cool gameplay nonetheless), The Lord of the Rings: Conquest (an action game from Pandemic), and Cartoon Network Universe: Fusion Fall which looks like one MMOG the kids (not to mention their parents) might really enjoy. Finally and perhaps most notably, there is a 10th anniversary edition of Delta Force being made available. Many people won't be too excited about this news, but if you have ever played the original you'll probably understand. The game was perhaps one of the most realistic treatments of modern combat ever put onto the market. It is one of those titles where you really don't want to make a mistake. If you happen to see it out there and haven't played before, or don't have all six included titles, pick it up and see for yourself.
