DAILY MANIFESTO

New Video Games March 3rd-9th, 2013

Posted on Monday, March 4 @ 16:42:06 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

Every week I watch a bunch of game trailers and try to learn something. This week I learned nothing. I'm not going to build a Las Vegas-esque Strip in my SimCity. I'm going the all nuclear waste route. We've already posted our verdict on Tomb Raider and we'll deliver SimCity's score later this week. Until then, check out the list:

SimCity (PC) - March 5th, 2013

Tomb Raider (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - March 5th, 2013

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (Xbox 360, PS3) - March 5th, 2013

Naruto Powerful Shippuden (3DS) - March 5th, 2013

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (3DS) - March 5th, 2013

Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk (PS3) - March 5th, 2013

MLB 2K13 (Xbox 360, PS3) - March 5th, 2013

MLB '13: The Show (PS3, Vita) - March 5th, 2013

Mass Effect 3: Citadel (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - March 5th, 2013

DmC: Devil May Cry - Vergil's Downfall DLC (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - March 5th, 2013

The Sims 3: University Life (PC) - March 5th, 2013

I've got Vergil's Downfall sitting on my Xbox 360 at the moment. A certain Spartan is keeping me from meeting the review deadline on Capcom's DmC DLC, but I'll try to push through and have a verdict for the content pack Gamestop shoppers are getting for free this week. I'll also likely try to get my hands on a copy of Mirror of Fate for my 3DS XL. I loved the 2D Castlevania games on Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, so I'm a little wary about this one trying to blend 2D and 3D, but you really can't beat a handheld Castlevania game.

What are ya buying?

Sim City looks interesting.
I already bought Tomb Raider.
Tried the demo of Castlevania but didn't like it, they should stick to 2D, it just works better. Also I think there was no music?

Could you guys possibly cover Defiance a little more? It comes out in a month, and there's apparently a console beta happening this month. They give out as little info as possible, and I fear it's because the game is being rushed to launch alongside the show. Both the Alpha and Beta's are going on right now, and there's a ton of experience-destroying issues being reported.

I'll probably still buy the game, as I'm desperate for some co-op action, but I'm just a little worried.

Vincent is actually seeing the game this week and we'll have a preview sometime after that, so stay tuned!

Good to hear, thanks. All the posts of the beta forums are basically saying the game has potential, but some things are implemented in terrible ways. The loot system isn't even finished, hell, it's not even a part of the beta. Do you plan on participating in the final beta event? I already have this pre-ordered, so I'll be available to play, if they follow through with the planned console beta.
