So I don’t know about you, but I have been desperately scouring the internet for news about the new wave of Persona titles. Atlus just sent out a tweet this week about their new title Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. We ravenous fans can now go ahead and pre-order it for either the PS3 or the Xbox 360 from a variety of vendors to suit your taste. The tweet can be seen below.

The most exciting Persona title on the horizon is Persona 5 for the PS3, but that game is something around a year away. In the meantime, I’m looking to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, the sequel to Persona 4 Arena. Persona 4 Arena is a fighting game series coming from Arc System Works, the same team that made my favorite fighting game series BlazBlue, and it shows in droves. The game was complex, fast paced and difficult to master. It was highly reviewed and managed to maintain the same charm of the main persona series. The character design was great, and made total sense to fans of the series, from Yukiko’s high magic damage and healing abilities to Yosuke’s speed and almost clumsy play style. The game promises to be even better with re-worked versions of all the playable characters from Persona 4 Arena. They are also adding some new characters that have seent he light of day in arcades, Yukari Takeba and Junpei Iori. Those are both favorites from Persona 3, and their presence is enough to have my looking for my wallet. There will be several other characters added along with shadow versions of many of the characters. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to this title to satisfy both my fighting game and Persona fix when it comes out in Q3 or Q4.

Etherium is actually a mineral/resource that is hard to find, and only held on a handful of planets. The 3 races are competing to take control of this substance, in order to be the largest super power. Each race has it’s own strengths and weaknesses, but you need to pick one to play when you start the game, just like other RTS games. No Halo race/faction changing for you.

“While the first video only showed a single faction-the Consortium-and the sand planet Serenade, today’s trailer reveals all three playable factions locking their troops in battle on two more of the six planets that will serve as battlegrounds. The ice world Arctis and the volcanic planet Pilo both provide environmental challenges and unique climatic events. The first battles promise to be quite intense, and one thing is for sure: the Consortium, the Vectides and the Intari are in for a large-scale conflict!”

The solo campaign in Etherium isn’t linear: you decide how to annihilate your enemies. You grab minerals, build armies, either get taken by a faster opponent, or take them yourself with an army comprising of numerous units: infantry, tanks, aircraft, and even gigantic Colossi (Hello Starcraft); “real machines of destruction!” tech research allows you to unlock new units and upgrades, access new structures, and use new special skills.
“Etherium has a unique and dynamic weather system that has a direct impact on your strategy. Use a sandstorm to approach the enemy base unseen, or mount a rearguard attack by crossing a freezing river. Each of the 7 planets has diverse environments, and varied terrain that will force you to adapt your
strategy: arid desert, swamps that impede tanks, icy worlds, island archipelagos…”

MOBAs, or multiplayer online battle arenas, are rapidly increasing in popularity. From DotA to League of Legends, MOBAs have hit the mainstream. Then enter Smite which has set out to be the most accessible MOBA on the market. It differs from other games mostly with it’s third person perspective and the ability to have your characters auto build/level. These seemingly small, but significant differences make Smite easier for newcomers to get wrap their heads around, whether it’s the third person perspective easing the transition for console gamers, or the auto build making it easier to jump right in and focus on the battle. Even I’ve been sucked into the MOBA craze, playing as either Neith, Freya or Artemis.

Smite has a lot to offer the already flourishing genre whether you are a MOBA veteran or just an interested gamer on the outside looking in. The launch is a great chance to jump on board.

Strategy and kinetics are the stars of the show, with myriad tactics and moves on call to help players out run the hordes before the sun hits the horizon. Melee attacks, like a powerful drop kick, as well as slides and tight-rope walks across thin beams round out an arsenal of character moves thatâ€s bolstered with weapons and traps.

Once evening approaches, though, the slow moving, careless zombies hunger for flesh, and suddenly become faster than their food.

Dying Light is set to hit Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC in 2014.
