New Video Game Releases 5/15-5/21

I hope you guys have your detective skills brushed off because you're going to need them for the big release of L.A. Noire this week.

Decently small week considering people decided to avoid attempting to compete with L.A. Noire but there are some jewels to be found like the release of Chrono Trigger for the fiftieth time!

Hit the jump for this weeks releases.

Noteworthy titles are in bold and italicized.

Crystal Ballin': E3 Predictions Part 1 - Microsoft

So less than a month away and all of us gamers will be drooling over new trailers, screenshots, and news that is to surely ooze out from E3.

Probably the biggest draw of the the show is the conferences held by the major platform holders, and this year definitely will be an interesting one for the Big Three.

Microsoft has to make up ground with core title releases and the Kinect, Sony has to regain lost ground not only with consumers but publishers, and Nintendo is easily poised to steal the show with their new console reveal.

What else might happen though? What news and huge surprises will be announced? That's where I come in. There is some for sure answers and some completely out there guesses going on here but remember, this is my take on what I believe will happen at E3.

Here is the conference schedule and the order in which I will do these posts:


Microsoft: June 6 12PM EST

Sony: June 6 8PM EST

Nintendo: June 7 12PM EST

So first up, Microsoft. Predictions after the jump.

PSN Resurrection: It Begins!

WOO! Sony has begun the restoration of the Playstation Network. Right now you can download the mandatory system update (v3.61) which will force you to change the password associated with your account as an added security measure once the service has been restored in the area.

Sony is rolling out the PSN in phases though, restoring most services but not all, though the most important part, online play, will be back. In the following video, Kazuo Hirai outlines exactly what's going on and what services are to return.

And for those of you not wanting to sit through the video, the list of returning services is listed after the video as well.

New Video Game Releases 5/8 - 5/14

And so the big summer release schedule kicks off. The next few weeks are chock full of awesome games and it almost feels like it a lead up to the holidays with the amount of great games coming out. Infamous 2, L.A. Noire, Brink, F.3.A.R., Duke Nukem Forever, and a whole slew of others I know I have forgotten.

Consider this week the appetizer of what is to be a few good months of gaming.

Also, I've decided that each weeks list of new games will be posted Monday evenings from now on. If any of you guys would like it earlier, let me know and I can attempt to adjust the post day or time.
