The month of February is here and has brought along some awesome games, this article will cover the 5 games you must play in the month of February. They are in no specific order.
5. Aliens: Colonial Marines
Platforms & Release: PC, PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360 – February 12, 2013, Wii U – TBA
Taking place after Aliens and considered a true sequel to the movies (yes it’s canon), the Gearbox developed First Person Shooter features a deep single player campaign, dynamic drop-in/drop-out 4 co-op mode and even multiplayer. These guys made Borderlands, so it should be good.
4. Fire Emblem Awakening
Platforms & Release: Nintendo 3DS – April 19, 2012 (JP), February 4, 2013 (US), TBA April 2013 (EU
The 11th title in the popular Fire Emblem series puts you in the shoes of Halidom price Chrom and his friends as they fight to keep peace and ward off the unholy force devastating the Kingdom. Fire Emblem Awakening is a must have for all Strategy RPG fans and a welcomed addition to the weakened JRPG category.
3. Dead Space 3
Platforms & Release: PC, Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 – February 5, 2013 (NA), February 7, 2013 (AU), February 8, 2013 (EU)
Continuing the adventures of Systems Engineer turned Necromorph killing badass Isaac Clarke as he ends up on a Frozen Planet called Tau Volantis. The game stays true to it’s horror roots which we all fell in love with along with adding a bit more action.
2. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
Platforms & Release: Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 – February 19, 2013 (NA), February 21, 2013 (JP), February 21, 2013, (AU) February 22, 2013 (EU)
The once canned Metal Gear spinoff is almost upon us. After being rescued from the garbage bin by Platinum Games, the hack and slash experts behind games like Bayonetta aim to blow people’s minds with this radical addition to the stealth focused Metal Gear series. In Metal Gear Rising Revengeance our favorite Cyborg Ninja is back, and this time he wants Revengeance (oh snap!).
1. Crysis 3
Platforms & Release: PC, Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 – February 19, 2013 (NA), February 21, 2013 (AU), February 22, 2013 (EU), March 7, 2013 (JP)
As Prophet (well he’s not exactly Prophet but I won’t go into too much detail for those new to the series) returns to New York City 24 years after the events of Crysis 2 he discovers the evil being done by the C.E.L.L. corporation. Looking better than ever (on PC at least), Crysis 3′s technical advancements should impress you a lot. I recently played the mutliplayer beta and liked it a lot.
