Ahhh, the long weekend. Wasn’t it great to have that extra day away from school?
But now it’s back to studying. It was nice to visit friends and family for Thanksgiving, or even have a day to socialize with some people we haven’t seen in a while. But now that the holidays are over, it doesn’t mean we have to go back full-force into our studies and leave our social life in the dust.
When we are in need of a break, why not use that free time to reconnect with family and friends. And what better way to bond with them then over a few video games?
Here are a couple of new multiplayer games for you and your loved ones.
Atomic Ninja
Platforms: PS3 and PS Vita
Release date: October 8
The graphics are set in 2D, but don’t let that discourage you from playing this action-packed game. The gamer must decide to play one of the seven super-powered ninjas: there are Old Monk Ninja, Psycho Ninja, and Zombie Ninja, to name just three. The players’ main goal is to destroy their opponents and the only way of doing that is to use the environment to kill the opposing team by using ninja-launchers, laser beams, lava pits, self-made traps, and much more. But you cannot directly kill your enemies, no; players must use their wits in order to defeat the challenger.
Just Dance 2014
Platforms: PS3, PS4, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One
Release date: October 9
If you haven’t heard of the Just Dance series, let me give you a quick insight on what this music-themed action game is all about. In this bust-a-move game, players choose a song, mimic a dance routine, and get graded on their performance. Although gamers can just dance by clicking on the Classic Free dance mode, they can also play the On Stage Mode (one player dances lead while two other players dance backup), or Karaoke Mode (can be used only if the console has a microphone), and, of course, there’s the classic Sweat Mode (which allow players to endure the fitness side of the game).
