What’s New This Week: Video Games

December 19th – December 25th

I hope everyone has a great holiday! Here are the scant few releases this week.

If the previous instalments of the franchise are anything to go by Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will prove to be a blistering and well designed platforming experience. Shantae as a character has been around since 2002, and this will be her first foray into the world of HD gaming.

The other notable release is The Walking Dead Season 3 from Telltale Games. While most Telltale Games release one episode at a time, this one is coming with two straight out the gate. It looks to be as brutal and engaging as the previous seasons, so expect this one to be talked about for a while. If you only know The Walking Dead as a comic or a television show, the Telltale series offers a different, and much more intimate, perspective on the world.
