It’s a brand new semester, which means we are back to fixating our brains on homework, exams, and the never-ending studying. Sometimes we need to take a break from all that schoolwork and have a moment to unwind, even just an hour to ourselves. So why not kick back, put our feet up, and unwind with a video game?
Let’s take a peek at what’s coming this fall:
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is the latest addition to the Dead or Alive series. It will include some features from the PlayStation Vita’s Dead or Alive 5 Plus, such as the “move details plus” and the tutorial mode.
But that’s not all. Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate will have a new game-play feature called Power Launcher, which is similar to the Dead or Alive 5 Power Blow, but the difference between these two techniques is that Power Launcher allows the player to continuously damage their opponent while the opponent is in the air.
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate will add five new or returning characters and will be offering a wide collection of costumes: 231, to be exact. Also, it features a 2-on-2 tag mode, which allows the gamer to team up with a friend and challenge other players, either on the same console or online.
And let’s not forget the environmental interactions that all Dead or Alive fans love, where the player can send their opponent flying and cause a destructive chain of events.
This fighting game was released on September 3 on the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360.
Diablo III
Yes, it’s finally here. Diablo III was released for the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 on September 3. The game will continue to use the fundamental mechanics from the first two games and is set in a dark fantasy world called Sanctuary.
After 20 years of peace, evil rises once again. Players choose from one of five character classesŃbarbarian, demon hunter, monk, witch doctor, or wizardŃand act as the hero that saves the world from darkness.
Players can either play solo or choose the four-player co-op feature, where players team up with friends on the same console or invite other players from online to work together towards a common gaming goal.
If you’re seeking adventure for the weekends, Diablo III could be the game for you.
