Finally,  a 2012 release week with notable anticipated releases. With offerings from such storied franchises such as Final Fantasy, SoulCalibur in addition to inspired DLC and a new IP release has January ending on a high note.

It can easily be said that Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the highest profile release of the week.  While the series’ image is not quite what it was due to recent disappointments, FFXIII-2 adds a revamped combat system and promises less linear gameplay.  Will it be enough? Find out this week as it releases for both Xbox 360 and PS3.

SoulCalibur V picks up 17 years after the events of SoulCalibur IV with new heroes and returning warriors clashing in an epic showdown between good and evil.  This latest offering brings new charter customization and combat features including a new gauge that allows characters to execute “Brave Edge” and “Critical Edge” attacks.   SoulCalibur V will be available on PS3 and 360.

NeverDead is a third-person action game set in a fantasy and horror-influenced universe where supernatural battles between humans and extraordinary creatures blanket a vast city landscape.  The main character has immortalic regenerative powers re-assembling his own body to evade death. In the battle against demons he stands as humanities’ best hope because he is never dead.  NeverDead creeps into retail on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Dead Island fans will no doubt relish the return to the fateful Island with Ryder White DLC.  The DLC will a offer a different perspective on antagonist Ryder White, enabling gamers to understand his motives by stepping into his shoes. It releases on the PC, 360 and PS3.

OOOOOH YEEEAAH!  Some of the most beloved WWE superstars of yesteryear return to the Legends and SuperStars Pack DLC for WWE’12.  With great wrestlers like Mick Folley and Randy Savage on the roster, it would be madness not to get this for the PS3 or Xbox 360.

Pick of the Week: I’m definitely interested in SoulCalibur V, with all the extra features and fighters. But I want to give Final Fantasy XIII-2 a chance. I still have found memories of FF games of generations past which weren’t completely tarnished by the crapfest of XIII. Square-Enix, this is your last chance – Final Fantasy XIII-2

Another release week without, yet again, a full physical release title. Though this week won’t be a complete dissapointment with a few key digital releases.

PS3 shooter fanatics should should be thrilled with a PS3 release of the PS2 shooter classic Killzone. Disappointingly, Killzone will not be getting the HD treatment, but it should make for a great pick-up for those who missed out on the PS2 classic.

The PSN finally gets ScaryGirl which can best be described as wondrous adventure into a distinctive and beautifully bizarre world.

The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff adds some sizzle to their home life! From stylish bedroom sets to spa-inspired bathroom furnishings to romantic new lingerie and hairstyles, your Sims will relax in comfort and style with this add-on available on the PC.

Play Oil Rush and engage in a global war for oil in the flooded post-apocalyptic world of Oil Rush, a real-time naval strategy game based on group control that combines strategic challenge of classic RTS with sheer fun of Tower Defense, all wrapped in state-of-an-art visuals. Oil Rush will be available for PC.

Pick of the Week: When Guerrilla games first released Killzone in 2004, it was created as a Halo killer. While it did not reach its lofty goal, it was still recognized for Amazing graphics and an intense gameplay experience. Being that I have never played the original, I will definitely pick-up this PSN re-release (although I’d be happier if it were in HD) – Killzone

The desolate winter season of new releases continues with such a sparse release week that if I were to not include DLC, would only have a total of three measly releases.

The big release this week is ScaryGirl on XBLA. Based on Nathan Jurevicius’ Scarygirl graphic novel, Scarygirl presents a wondrous adventure into a distinctive and beautifully bizarre world. Main character Scarygirl is an abandoned child with a tentacle arm who dresses like a pirate. Joining with friends such as Blister the giant octopus and Bunniguru the mystical, kung-fu rabbit she sets out on an off-beat adventure.

The other full game releases include Jungle Speed for the Wii and What’s Your Type? for the DS. Jungle speed is a twitchy, fast-paced card game while What’s Your Type? is an interesting game that helps you predict you and your friends’ personalities, using a combination of proven scientific methodologies.

This week we get DLC for major games like Gears of War 3, Saints Row The Third and Gran Turismo 5. Gears of War 3 gets the Fenix Rising Map Pack. Gran Turismo 5 gets two new DLC packs with the Car Pack 3 and the Spped Test Pack. Saints Row fans can go Genki crazy with the Genki Bowl VIII or go cheap with the free CheapyD Pack.

Pick of the Week: An Easy Pick actually. ScaryGirl wins almost simply by default. It’s off-beat style and interesting story should captivate gamers more so than anything else this week – ScaryGirl

PlayStation 3

• Gran Turismo 5 Car Pack 3 (DLC)
• Gran Turismo 5 Speed Test Pack (DLC)

It’s a very magical holiday season as both Christmas and Hanukkah fall upon the same release week. Will the December blues continue with yet another bah-humbug release week or could a release from a galaxy far far away have gamers yelling, “Ho, Ho, Ho”?

Unfortunately, console fans get nothing but downloadable games while portable gamers get NADA (Nothing And Don’t Ask).

The most publicized release this week is easily Star Wars: The Old Republic, BioWare’s massively multiplayer online role-playing game based in the Star Wars universe releases to much fanfare for the PC.

The big multiplat release this week is Trine 2, a side-scrolling action platform and puzzle gamel developed by Frozenbyte. The online co-op adventure will be available on PSN and XBLA this week.

Over the past five years it’s been abundantly clear that Zombies + almost anything = big $$$. So why not Zombies and Vampires? Vampires vs. Zombies has nothing to do with the Plants vs Zombies franchise, but will feature addictive game play in the vein of  the Farm Frenzy franchise. It will be available this week for the PC.

Pick of the Week – I can’t deny the the amount of fun that can be enjoyed from online c0-op action. Which is one of the reason why Trine 2 deserves a good. At the same time, the attraction to an online mmorpg which takes place in the Star Wars Universe is undeniable, despite $15 a month subscription fees. Star Wars: The Old Republic

With many gamers just getting over the Thanksgiving glut and surviving the rush of Black Friday, we find ourselves in the sleepy pre-christmas release doldrums. Which is not to say there no releases nor that they are not worth a look, but pickings sure are slim.

The release of PS2 classics Sly Cooper and the Thevius Raccoonus, Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly3 : Honor Among Thieves should excite gamers on this sleepy release week. The Sly Cooper series is renown for solid platforming and gameplay which inspired inFAMOUS. You’ll find Sly available for download on the PSN.

Back in the 1980′s there was a force for good who looked over the Universe and fought for good. Five space explorers pilot five colossal robotic lions which, when needed, combined into the the unbeatable robotic warrior Voltron. Relive the classic anime (not the craptastic remake) in Voltron: Defender of the Universe on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Pick of the Week: Quite an easy one for me. I’ve played the Sly Cooper series before. Plus, I was a child in the 80′s and thus understand the awesomeness of Voltron - Voltron: Defender of the Universe pawns imitator Power rangers all day every day.

Thanksgiving falls on this release week and the past few weeks have given gamers much to be thankful for. With releases like Serious Sam 3: BFE, Batman: Arkham City at long last on the PC, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Wii and The Rock on the cover of WWE ’12 (The People’s Edition) it’s quite pleasant to smell what this release week is cooking!

The highlight of this release week is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii. Yes, I included it in my NVGR report last week but with it releasing today, it deserves another mention. With an aggregate review score of 94 on metacritic, it is likely a GOTY contender.

Looking for a solid old school shooter? Look no further than Serious Sam: BFE. Sam is back and promises to deliver insane over-the-top FPS action. Look for Sam on PC only, baby.

Can You Smell What the Rock is Cooking? The WWE is back and better, mostly because it will include many of the all-time greats including The Rock, Mick Folley and even the Macho Man Randy Savage (a good number of them as DLC)! WWE ’12 will be available on the Xbox360, Wii, and PS3.

PC gamers can also finally don the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight as Batman: Arkham City finally becomes available on the PC this week.

Pick of the Week: The King Nintendo Fanboy Justin Berube will be proud. This is the first time I’ve given a Wii game the honors but The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword deserves it.

The first full week of November explodes onto the scene as perhaps the biggest release week of the year. Whether you are fighting your enemies in a large scale military conflict, sneaking behind them with the silence of a snake, or with medieval sharpened steel – this release week definitely has something for you.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will undoubtedly become one of the best selling games of the year. Despite internal problems which involved the loss of most of the developing studio and subsequent lawsuits, MW3 promises a revamped online experience and a campaign which teases World War 3. Will CoD: MW3 live up to the hype? PC, Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3 gamers will have an opportunity this week to find out.

Few games have garnered as much attention as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The fifth installment in The Elder Scrolls role-playing video game series promises to continue the open world gameplay that has distinguished the series.  Skyrim will be available on the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360.

Snaaake, SNAAAAAKE! The series that first first defined stealth gameplay gets an HD Collection with the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. This HD collection includes Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and the former PSP exclusive masterpiece Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and releases on both the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Pick of the Week: This is a tough one for me.  The Modern Warfare series has always distinguished itself from the typical FPS with frantic fast-paced action mixed with an absolutely shocking and awe-inspiring campaign adventure. I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed Hideo Kojima‘s Metal Gear Solid series. With among the craziest group of video game bosses and a main character inspired by Kurt Russel‘s lovable anti-hero Snake Plissken (from Escape from New York and LA), this series has never disappointed. But there is something to be said about Skyrim. The game has been enjoying a tremendous amount of hype and looks to be deserving every bit of it. Besides, I live in Bethesda Maryland, the supposed home of Bethesda Softworks (they are actually located in nearby Rockville, MD).  So, this week’s pick?  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

“Yeah. Wooo! Bring on Sucka, this my kind of sh*t!” Unless you live under a rock or find yourself unfortunate enough not to have an Xbox360, the big release this week is the massive Sci-fi shooter that brings the Gears trilogy full circle with Gears of War 3. Marcus and Delta squad reunite for perhaps the last time to save the planet Sera against not just the locust, but the mutated minions of the Lambent. With rave reviews and a mountain of pre-orders, this week belongs to Gears 3.

The second week of September brings a day of remembrance, the start of NFL football and (of course) new video game releases.

NHL12 is the big multiplat muliplat bringing the swift hard-hitting power and finesse of the upcoming 2012 NHL season to gamers on the Xbox 360 and PS3. God of War Origins releases for the PS3 bringing Kratos’ PSP adventures to PS3 gamers at an affordable price. LittleBigPlanet 2: The Rise of the Cakeling brings LBP enthusiasts five new  giant story levels and integration with the PS Move controller and a brand new toy called  ”The Brain Crane”.

The first full release week of September blows off doors with a well-rounded and potent number of key new releases.

Dead Island is the HUGE multiplatform release this week debuting on the Xbox 360, PC and PS3. Featuring Zombies in an open world island setting, Dead Island will include multiplayer and RPG elements – sounds like a winner to me.

Insomniac launches Resistance 3 for the PS3.  After taking the unusual step of offing series protagonist Nathan Hale in part 2, R3 takes an even bleaker look at alternative timeline history. Not only have the Chimera conquered North America, but it’s up to infected super soldier Joseph Capelli who had been in hiding until Chimera specialist Dr. Fyodor Malikov contacts him about a possible Chimeran cure. A cross-country FPS adventure that should make PS3 owners proud.

Driver: San Francisco races to retail with hopes of bringing the series back to its early successful roots. Main character Tanner discovers he has an ability to “shift” into another person’s body – retaining his persona but, to everyone else, looking and sounding exactly the same as the person he has shifted into.  Sure it sounds hokey but it just might be the right thing to get the series back on track.

Space Marines, third-person shooter, chainsaw weapons, grotesque inhuman enemies and over-sized armor suits – no, I’m not talking about Gears of War 3 but Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Sure it has many similarities to Epic’s #1 franchise, but more than enough differences and exciting gameplay to stand on its own, plus it will release on the Xbox 360, Ps3 and PC. Besides, it should make for a great appetizer for the Gears 3 feast later this month.

Those who love JRPGs and have  enjoyed the Disgaea series will no doubt be happy with Disgaea 4: A Promise Forgotten for the PS3. Expect more of the series trademark style and humor combined with online connectivity.

Other notable releases include  Bloodrayne betrayal and the Uncharted and Uncharted 2 Daulpack for the PS3,Rise of Nightmares for Xbox Kinect,Tiger woods PGA tour 12 The Masters finally for the PC and Starfox 64 3D for the 3DS.

Pick of the Week: I do have to stress that Dead Island looks amazing and if I had to pick a multiplat it would easily win hands down. But as one of the rare gamers who owns all of the main systems, I’d be remiss not to pick Resistance 3. The game looks great and Insomniac Games has never once disappointed. Chimera, expect to get your six-eyed ass kicked for a good part of the next few weeks on my PS3 – Resistance 3

It’s not always size that matters (that’s what she said), but often what is done with what you have. Even with a scant four releases this week, this release week is not one to be ignored. The highest profile release this week is Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the PC, Ps3 and Xbox 360. The prequel to the popular Deus Ex, Human Revolution has been turning heads with its sharp graphics and and Sci-Fi cyberpunk styling.  Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition has been described as “a love letter to fans” and will include vast improvements over the original with new menu art and HD remastered graphics for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

3DS gamers looking for something to play have  Shin Megami tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked  and DS gamers get  Call of Atlantis.

Pick of the Week: While there is no doubt that I will purchase the updated Street Fighter III: Third Strike: Online Edition, the atmosphere and immersion of  Deus Ex: Human Revolution is just too good to ignore – Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Summertime and releases aint easy.  Few big titles and the pickings are slim.

August is here and the summer game release drought continues.  Bleach: Soul Resurreccion brings an anime inspired Dynasty Warriors type game to the PS3. Xbox Live Arcade receives Insanely Twisted Shdow Planet.  While this game may be flying below many people’s radar, it’s name by itself should be enough to get some attention.   Brink gets downloadable content with the Agents of Change DLC for the PS3, Xbox and PC.

The PC finally gets Limbo while the DS is gets flooded with learning games like Play & Learn Spanish and Sesame Street: Ready, Set, Grover! The struggling 3DS comes up with one less release then the PSP which only gets Corpse Party: Book of Shadows.

Pick of the Week: Honestly, I will probably not play any of the new releases this week besides Limbo, which I have played on the Xbox 360.  Although, before Dynasty Warriors became and endless group of identical sequels, I did enjoy the first few games.   I’ve never watched the anime but Bleach: Soul Resurrección does look interesting - Bleach: Soul Resurrección

Father’s Day opens a release week full of games new and old. Sam Fisher, Link, Point Man…  but who will headline the Pick of the Week?

F.E.AR. 3 brings it’s unique brand of Action horror to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.  Action RPG fans will delight with the release of Dungeon Siege III for the PC, Ps3 and 360.  EA introduces a new survival horror franchise with the release of Shadows of the Damned for the PS3 and 360 and PlayStation gamers get another HD classic update with Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD.

The movie tie in of the week is Cars 2: The Video Game for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS.  Gamers looking to get to get in shape can train with their favorite MMA fighters with UFC Personal Trainer: The Ultimate Fitness System. Last but certainly not least, those who own Nintendo’s 3DS get the long awaited The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

Is it time I drop the PSP?  Hasn’t had a release in over a month.

Pick of the Week: This is a tough one.  While I enjoyed the original F.E.A.R, I found the sequel lacking. Having the Point Man reunited with his dead brother is intriguing.  Link rescuing Zelda in 3D?  Sorry, not a big fan of the small screen. The original Splinter Cell games inspired me to get an Xbox back in the day and Sam Fisher is voiced by acting great Michael Ironside.  It’s a tough choice, count it as another stealth kill by Sam Fisher -  Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD.

Another Release Week begins with a shout out to all the Mothers in the world (not including Mother F’ers)!  To prep us for the new movie coming this summer the big release this week is LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean on every conceivable platform.  Is it just me or do Lego Movie games tend to buck the Movie tie in curse most of the time?  After that Brink is another big one as Bethesda Softworks releases their anticipated Sci-Fi Shooter for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC.  Don’t forget MX vs ATV Alive for the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

Pick of The Week: Yo ho, a Lego Pirate’s Life is not for me!  No offense.  LEGO games are fine and everything but just not my pick of the week.  I live in Bethesda, I like Bethesda Softworks and I like Shooters - Brink!

Happy Holidays to those who celebrate Easter, have just finished Passover and most importantly my Birthday (yep, I’m another year older)!  Unfortunately that may be all to celebrate as this release week sucks eggs.

The big release this week is Darkspore on PC.  EA’s darker take on the Spore universe.  Not to be outdone however is Man vs. Wild in which TV hero Bear Grylls takes on the most ferocious creatures on god’s green earth with just his wits and a stick for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.  PS3 gamers return to Oddworld with Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath and revisit an early classic with Yar’s Revenge – both I’m sure will be entirely enjoyable once the PSN finally gets back on track.

Pick of the Week – This is a tough one and not because there are a number of good choices, but I’ll take Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath because I never had the chance to play the original on Xbox.

Spring has officially sprung true believers.  It’s not simply the weather as this week we are truly treated to some top flight games!

The big question this week is which game will you be getting?  Mortal Kombat or Portal 2 are both available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 – of course there there’s no reason why you can’t have your cake and kill it too.  PS3 owners are in for quite the treat as not only can they play as Kratos in Mortal Kombat, they can also get the benefits of Steamworks with  their copy of Portal 2.  Let’s also not forget the AAA PS3 exclusive SOCOM 4: US Navy SEALs.  PC owners get captivated by the real-time strategy of the Majesty 2 Collection.  Wii players finally get the Conduit 2.  PSP you ask?  How about Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection!

Pick of the Week: We’ll I’m definitely looking forward to finishing jabronis as Kratos and I have my Sharp Shooter locked and loaded for SOCOM: 4, however, there is that quaint little indie game <sarcasm> called Portal 2.   With my birthday just around the corner (next Sunday), I’d like to think the cake is more than just a lie.

Hey, woah… this might be one of the worst release weeks that I’ve ever written about.  The PS3 and Xbox 360 boast a combined release number of three games - including such high profile releases like StarDrone (PSN), Carnival Games: Monkey See, Monkey Do (Kinect), and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile (XBLA).  It seems the only noteworthy releases include Super Meat Boy (Ultra Edition) (PC) and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3D (3DS).

RELEASEMANIA is running wild!  Even though we covered the new releases for the 3DS in last week’s edition, we decided to cover it again this week (as it is today) – that’s not to say this is a slack week.  With Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters, Shift 2 Unleashed, Dynasty Warriors 7, NASCAR The Game 2011, and WWE All Stars all out for multiple systems this definitely qualifies as a BIG week.

Pick of the Week: As exciting as it might be to step into the shoes of Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods Y’all, the prospect of reliving Wrestlmania’s past with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior is just too great to be denied – WWE All Stars.
