New Video Game Releases : 03/14/12

It’s hard to believe, but this week’s list of new video game releases is even bigger than last week! When it rains, it pours.. Here’s what’s new this week:

 

Staying true to the franchise’s original roots, Silent Hill: Downpour returns with an all new thought-provoking horror storyline. Players will once again find themselves face to face with their deepest sins and fears in the strange world of Silent Hill. The survival horror experience begins after a prison transport vehicle careens off the road, leaving lone inmate Murphy Pendleton stranded in Silent Hill. Gamers will encounter mind-bending puzzles, as well as horrific creatures and other world terrors using everyday objects from wooden chairs to glass bottles to fend off their enemies.

The natural response, fight or flight is left to the player as they unravel a dark, thought-provoking storyline which will appeal to fans of the early, classic Silent Hill series, as well as anyone who enjoys a deep, psychological horror experience. In addition to the main storyline, players will also be presented with variable side quests along the way that can change depending on their play style, revealing unknown evils within the town.

Silent Hill: Downpour is available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Whether you call it soccer or football, one thing’s for sure – You’ve got the technique worthy of the sport’s most competitive clubs. You sleep and wake by the black-and-white ball and you’ve got the foot to kick it all the way to the World Cup. But something’s missing. The yellow- and white-painted lines, neatly groomed turf and perfectly squared-off goals are starting to get a bit old. You’ve seen one field, you’ve seen them all — or have you?

Ditch your cleats, leave the stadium in the dust and get ready to experience fierce soccer action where it’s really at — in the streets. From rooftops to parking lots, from Rio de Janeiro to Amsterdam, players are tearing up the pavement and taking soccer to a whole new level. Build up a killer roster and sharpen your skills, you’re about to take it to the Street.
