Every now and then one of those things turns out to be legitimately good and we may just have the next dose of hot Japanese property turning out great in LBX: Little Battlers eXperience from the prolific developer Level 5! The customizable battle bot game gives you control of hand held robots called " LBX". Zombi releases on PlayStation 4 and PC on Tuesday with an Xbox One release Wednesday.Įvery few years Japan imports a legitimate collectable threat to youth all over the world, Pokémon, Digimon, Tamagotchi, Hello Kitty, Yu-Gi-Oh, Metabots, the list goes on and on and on. Zombi has some online modes to round out the experience, including Assault Mode, Survival Mode, and a score based game called Killing Box that has you attempting to survive against a hyper powerful zombie boss and minions. Zombi U didn't light the world on fire, but did get a fair amount of praise for its unique way of handling deaths, with players being able to track down and kill their former self to retrieve supplies, similar to the corpse run mechanic of older massive multiplayer online games. Taking place in the aftermath of the zombie outbreak in London, you play as a survivor trying to make their way to safety. The first person survival game is close in scope and feel to a rogue-like, where it's essentially one life per-run. Who wants to play a Wii U launch game that isn't Nintendo Land? Anyone? Any takers? OK, what If I told you that Ubi Soft was releasing their Wii U launch game Zombi U on other consoles, sounds crazy right!

Helldivers: Super Earth Edition releases Tuesday on PlayStation 4. ![]() The story is kind of like Starship Troopers so if that doesn't get you hyped just remember the setting is " Super-Earth"! The boxed copy comes with all the expansions, 11 downloadable content packs, and cross-buy versions across PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The hard as nails isometric shooter is a little bit twin stick shooter and a lot bit masochistic with friendly fire as the default option. If you're an insane box copy collector like me it's a good week as Arrowhead Game's Helldivers is getting a retail release. Shadowrun: Hong Kong releases on Steam Tuesday. I really enjoyed Shadowrun Returns and I'm eager to get my hands on Hong Kong, fans of squad based tactics games like X-Com and Final Fantasy Tactics should absolutely check this one out. Harebrained Scheme's hasn't been forthcoming with too many plot details, but promised a robust series of companion characters via their Kickstarter campaign, improvements to the interface and combat, and a game editor that allows you to tell your own tales in the Shadowrun universe. The isometric tactics game is a sequel to 2013's popular revival of the series, Shadowrun Returns, and moves the game from the rainy streets of Seattle to cyberpunk future Hong Kong. Kickstarter is one of those services that can feel a little dodgy in the wrong hands, but in the masterful care of a company like Harebrained Schemes you get quality products like Shadowrun: Hong Kong. ![]() ![]() But we're not quite there yet so let's keep August going strong with another round of great games including a top notch indie strategy game, a Wii U revival, and the newest big craze from Japan. While there's a part of me that will always be sad to see the summer go, September is perhaps my favorite month as the Jersey coast is incredibly beautiful and I get to expand my ever growing collection with a ton of new games. As August rolls into September, visual novels on the Vita and adventure games on the PC will rapidly be chased away by huge franchises and million dollar sequels. No matter what your thoughts on the season the end of summer is the official launching point for some of the year's biggest titles. For some of you this means absolutely nothing as you've no summer break to speak of, or have already returned to school, but I can't help but feel like the summer only started a few weeks ago. I've found the older I get, the more quickly summer seems to pass, take for instance the fact we're already halfway through August. Welcome back to Sweet Release!
