Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

This week’s game releases include Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3/Xbox 360/Wii U), NHL 13 (PS 3/Xbox 360), Double Dragon: Neon (PSN/XBLA), FTL: Faster Than Light (PC).

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 – PS3/Xbox 360/Wii U

The eighth installment in the Tekken series will be hitting the market later on this week.  Sequel to the hit game Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is filled with the classic hit-hard goodness that brought the fans, and a number of new features that will continue to keep them.  Some of the more classic features include: pair play (up to four players can control a character in a single battle), multiplayer match, and a number of offline options such as the classic arcade mode.  Tekken Tag Tournament 2 possesses among the largest rosters of fighters to choose from to date, as well as brand new moves and environmental touchups.  Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is scheduled for release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 11th, with a version for the Wii U scheduled for the winter.

NHL 13 – PS3/Xbox 360

In the world of sports games, trying to keep up with realistic physics proves to be something of a challenge.  In NHL 13, an entirely new level of control is opened up to the player with the implementation of a combination of true performance skating, 1,000 new animations, and access to all possible controls.  Players will also be gaining a much more ‘real world’ experience: rather than restricting visibility to the player’s immediate area, NHL 13 has expanded the view to more of the ice, so that the player is aware of much more of what is going on.  There will also be a number of classic game modes offered, as well as a massive overhaul of the AI of the game, which allows for much quicker response times and overall better gameplay.  NHL 13 is scheduled for release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 11th.

Double Dragon: Neon – PSN/XBLA

A blast from the past, Double Dragon: Neon follows twin brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee who are on the trail to save their love interest, Marian.  Villain Skullmaggedon has taken her hostage, and the brothers must fight their way through 16 levels to rescue her.  Double Dragon: Neon features 5 levels of difficulty, the ability to pick up and throw objects in combat, some killer combo moves and a co-op system.  Double Dragon: Neon is scheduled for release on the Playstation Network on September 11th, and will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on September 12th.

FTL: Faster Than Light – PC

Take command a single spaceship travelling the stars: engage in combat with the enemy, instantly jump across great distances with your FTL drive, and do anything to keep your ship alive!  But unlike many other spaceship simulators out on the market right now, FTL: Faster Than Light is heavily text-based.  Promising a number of features such as randomly generated game worlds, a huge number of outcomes for various events, and a number of weapons and strategies that can be implemented for different styles of gameplay, FTL: Faster Than Light is scheduled for release on PC on September 14th.
