New Video Game Releases : 04/24/12

This week brings us a handful of highly anticipated games, so be sure to read on and see what’s worth picking up:

 

Prototype 2 – New York Zero is a post-viral wasteland broken up into three distinct districts. The Green Zone is heavily militarized. The Yellow Zone is an overcrowded refugee camp, nothing more than a quarantined shanty town. And the war-ravaged nightmare known as The Red Zone is where the Blacklight virus has completely overrun the once-great city’s skyscrapers and population.

You are Sgt. James Heller, a soldier left to die, distraught husband to a deceased wife and father to a dead son. You are infected. There is one thing left to do — hunt down and kill Alex Mercer.

Prototype 2 is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Risen 2: Dark Waters is set several years after the end of Risen, where raging titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Subsequently, monstrous creatures have risen from the watery depths of the sea and their attacks have brought all seafaring to a grinding halt. The hero, now a member of the Inquisition, is sent out to find out how to stop the chaos caused by these creatures from the deep. His quest begins with rumors that the pirates who frequent the southern islands are the only ones who know a way to get rid of the creatures once and for all and end their reign of terror.

Risen 2: Dark Waters is available for the PC.

Where does the machine end and humanity begin?
