European PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait a week yet again, even though it’s already out on the US PSN store. The Walking Dead: 400 Days is the most noteworthy release, seemingly coming out of nowhere. ShopTo are selling it for just under £27 with pre-order DLC of some kind.ĭownloads now. It does look better than some of the low-budget tat shoved out recently though, with Ride to Hell springing to mind instantly. Imagine a sort of low-budget Deus Ex, only with supernatural powers instead of an assortment of high-tech toys. Still not convinced? It features Bruno Delinger, the chap from Sega’s Dynamite Cop – a series that can be linked back to 1996’s excellent Die Hard Arcade.Īt the time of typing there are no reviews of DARK, although we will say that the footage released at E3 looked far from amazing. “Project X Zone is often funny and consistently frantic – two traits not necessarily associated with tactical RPGs,†was their verdict. IGN agreed that the story is a bit pump and gave it the same score. The Official Nintendo Magazine gave this strategic 2D RPG 80%, noting that while it’s a little easy and the plot for bringing characters from various franchises together is “flimsy at best†it’s still a highly entertaining experience – “a series of violent, interactive laser-light shows,†as they put it. Reviews have been pretty good, so don’t let that price-tag put you off. Project X Zone could be seen as a budget-priced title too, we suppose – Amazon, amongst others, are offering it for just over £20. Those two retail releases are Project X Zone on 3DS and the budget-priced stealth adventure DARK on Xbox 360 and PC. There may only be two retail releases arriving this week, but there’s more than triple that out on the download services. We think it’s far to say that due to digital distribution we won’t ever face another notorious ‘summer game drought’.
