May is shaping up to be a good month in gaming. It’s also a screaming deathtrap for your wallet and bank accounts. With so many awesome titles coming out this month, how will you get your hands on your favorites? Here is a list of anticipated titles releasing in the month of May.
-Red Dead Redemption: Rockstar’s sequel to 2004’s Red Dead Revolver. This game puts you into the wild west and allows you to explore vast towns, deserts, and forests on horseback, by train, or just on foot. This third person shooter features stunning graphics, an Honor and Infamy system, a detailed open world for you to explore, and deep online play that can hook you in for weeks.
-3D Dot Game Heroes: This game is a throwback to old NES Zelda titles. It shoots to give you that old nostalgic feeling of your younger days with your favorite green hat wearing hero while also being just as fun and addicting. The graphics can be described as 2D gone 3D, meaning everything in the game is crafted by 3D pixels. That not enough to satisfy your tastes? Check out our review and see what we thought of it.
-Lost Planet 2: There is currently a multiplayer demo up now on the PSN Store and XBL Marketplace. This game is a 3rd person shooter that pits you up against giant monsters and puts you in the shoes of different pirate factions that you can customize as you progress through the story. Did I mention that it also has Co-Op?
-Skate 3: Number 3 in the series aims to take everything from the first two and make them even better. The Hall of Meat is back and there is now full body control of your character after the bail. Create your own skating crew and aim to become a skating icon. You can also play the game’s new Co-Op mode as well as head-to-head with your friends.
-ModNation Racers: Following in the footsteps of LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers allows you to play on premade tracks, but also allows you to download user created tracks, create your own, fully customize your racer, fully trick out your car, and pretty much give you limitless options. Fans of LittleBigPlanet should definitely keep a close eye on this one.
