Multi Platform Releases
Madden NFL 13 - Are you ready for some Madden NFL 13? EA Sports’ mega franchise featuring the ultimate NFL experience just shipped it’s latest million dollar maker. Sure to be just better enough than Madden NFL 12 that you’ll want to replace last year’s 360 or PS3 copy. Seriously folks-this game really looks like football on TV-complete with commentary from Jim Nantz and Phil Simms. The new Infinity Engine creates “true player impact and authentic momentum transfer” making sure that no two plays ever look or feel the same. Madden NFL 13 is also releasing PS Vita and Wii versions focusing on SixAxis Motion control systems. Football has come a long way since Tecmo Super Bowl.

PC
Starvoid - Starvoid is a multiplayer real time strategy game available on PC. It’s designed to be a pick up and play, drop in anytime for a minute game that focuses on having fun. Some of the futuristic battles remind me of Starhawk only with that overhead view of the action that all real time strategy games feature.
Guild Wars 2 - Guild Wars 2 is a fantasy MMO. The story picks up 250 years after the original Guild Wars (2005). The human race is declining while other races are flourishing and, of course, there are dragons about. Guild Wars 2 has all the makings of a post WOW MMO that you might expect-dynamic events, action-oriented combat and competitive PvP.
