Wired Gamers Week in Preview: May 9, 2011

Welcome back people for another edition of the Wired Gamers Week in Preview.
Alright we'll start out this week by talking about the major game releases that are coming out tomorrow:

First we have  game that I am personaly excited about LEGO Pirates of the Caribean. Here it is on Amazon: LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean on Amazon
This is probably the widest release this week as it is launching worldwide on virtually every platform.

Next up we have another major release the game Brink. Here it is on Amazon: Brink on Amazon. It is launching on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. It looks like a very unique game.

 

The third major game release is an offroad racing game called MX vs ATV Alive. This game is unique because THQ is experimenting with this game by selling it at a lower price. They are marketing it as a Triple-A title, with a Triple-A budget. But it's MSRP is $40 instead of the usual $60.  Here's hoping THQ's experiment works, because it coule eventually mean cheaper games all around. Well here it is on Amazon: MX vs ATV Alive on Amazon.

And our last major video game release this week is Virtua Tennis 4. This game supports both Move and Kinect. This is the first major tennis game on the Kinect. It is also launching on the Wii. If tennis is your thing, then I suggest you pick this game up here: Virtua Tennis 4 on Amazon.

There are no releases on the PSN this week since the PSN is still down unfortunantly. For those of you following this, Sony said the PSN was supposed to be up last week. Now it is looking like the PSN might now be up until later this month.


Xbox Live Marketplace releases will be posted later this week.

That is all. Carry On!
