New Video Game Releases : 08/14/12

It’s been awhile since any good games have come out, and then all of a sudden we get hit with three highly-anticipated titles worth checking out this week:

Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen embarks on a quest to undo Armageddon. Along the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation. Become the terrifying force which everything fears but nothing can escape. Death Lives in Darksiders II.

Darksiders II is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii U, and PC.

Sleeping Dogs – Welcome to Hong Kong, a vibrant neon city teeming with life, whose exotic locations and busy streets hide one of the most powerful & dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the Triads. In this open-world game, you play the role of Wei Shen, a cop who goes undercover trying to take down the Triads from the inside. You’ll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover. Torn between your loyalty to the badge and the code of the triads, you will risk everything as the lines between truth and honor become permanently blurred.

Sleeping Dogs is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 – Feel the rush of discovering tons of coins in brand new coin-rich worlds with the new Gold Mario, gold pipes, gold Fire Flowers, new block head Mario that transforms enemies into coins, and while challenging your friends in the new Coin Rush Mode. Can you get one million coins?
