Gear Games Weekly: August 7 – 13

Gear Games Weekly: August 7 – 13: "


Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary!


We have now hit the rock bottom doldrums of the summer release drought – but don’t despair, as the coming weeks have some major releases to look forward to, stuff like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. For this week? The only one of note is Fruit Ninja Kinect, a fun action game using the XBOX 360′s human motion controller.


And while there isn’t really anything else big getting released, there are a few other releases this week – read on to find out!

  • Go! Go! Kokopolo (DSiWare/eShop – $7.99)

  • My Asian Farm (DSiWare/eShop – $1.99)


pc



  • No new releases


Some notes from last week:



  • Limbo (download)

    - Excellent visual and audio design and loads of fun and replayability!

  • Pirates of Black Cove (download – $20)

    - Decent basic idea meets tons of bugs and poorly implemented features that ultimately ruin the experience.


What games am I playing now? Here is a sampling:



  • PC: Test Drive Unlimited 2 – I loved the original and had grabbed this a while ago on a mega-sale… but after playing the beta I was in no rush, and sadly this is as mediocre as I feared.

  • PC: Fable III – more of an action-adventure than a RPG, still has some fun to offer.

  • Mac: Dungeon Siege III – just getting started after grabbing the Amazon sale, seems like a fun addition to the franchise.


So what are you playing? Chime in below!


Enjoy gaming!
