New Video Game Releases : 01/31/12

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Video Game post, as nothing really came out in the past few months.. But that changes today, as we’re treated to some awesome releases!

 

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the follow-up to the 2010 hit title Final Fantasy XIII, and the latest installment in the world-renowned series, which has shipped over 100 million units worldwide. The all-star production staff returns to create a true sequel that offers a more immersive experience than its predecessor, with extraordinary level design that encourages exploration, a more strategic paradigm-based Active Time Battle system, the ability to tame monsters and have them fight in your party, and a multi-path, player-driven experience that offers significant replay value.

Three years after Lightning and the others saved Cocoon, some survivors decided to start over by rebuilding on Gran Pulse. Lightning, however, is nowhere to be found and thought dead by many, but Serah believes otherwise. When her town is suddenly overrun by monsters, a mysterious man named Noel appears to save her. Together, the two set off on a journey that transcends time and space, hoping to find Lightning.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is available for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

The eternal struggle of swords and souls continues! Soul Calibur V is the latest entry in the premier weapons-based head-to-head fighting series. Soul Calibur V takes place 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur IV and continues the epic story of warriors in search of the legendary Soul Swords in 17th century Europe. The heroic battles transpire in a beautiful and fluid world with eye-popping graphics and visual appeal. Soul Calibur V tunes the battle, movement, and visual systems so players can pull off cool dynamic attacks with ease and battle with complete freedom.

Soul Calibur V is available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
