The week of August 10th-16th sees a small amount of action with the new releases, though light compared to the past couple weeks. Risen 3: Titan Lords is the major multi-platform release this week, being the only game available physically for the Xbox 360 this week. Vita owners should be excited with not one but two RPG’s; Akiba’s Trip and Disgaea 4 each offer substantially different gameplay styles but help to cement the Vita as an RPG powerhouse. Phantom Breaker was delayed at the last minute last week but will finally see a US release with the beat-em-up spinoff Battle Grounds. Hohokum is the third title in PS4’s PLAY 2014. If you purchased Rogue Legacy or The Swapper, get $3-6 back (along with a 20% off Hohokum for being a PS+ member). Xbox One sees no new releases this week.
