Press Play – your regular game round-up

There’s quite a few games coming up next week, some of them very big.

Coming up next week…

November 15 looks to be a huge day for games, with lots of big titles landing on the same day.

Halo is reborn in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on the Xbox 360. A remake of the game released in 2001, the new version has updated graphics, support for 3D TVs, and even support for the Kinect. We shouldn’t have to tell you that this is an Xbox 360 exclusive.

The next game in the long-running Assassin’s Creed series will be released on the 15th. The new titles – Assassin’s Creed Revelations – features more top-notch single-player gameplay, as well as some pretty fun multiplayer. It will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.

Saints Row will also be joining the fray on November 15 with Saints Row: The Third. Based on the name, you should be able to guess that this is the third title in the series, now with more guns and gang violence. You’ll find it on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs.

Two days later, Need for Speed: The Run is released, the latest racing title and the 18th game in the Need for Speed franchise. The graphics are pretty good and from our brief play this week, it seems like a very fun game. The speed freaks in your home can grab this title on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and Windows PCs.

You’ll also find a unique title – Kinect: Disneyland Adventures – released this week. Combining games based off Disney movie franchises and the ability to virtually explore Disneyland, Kinect: Disneyland Adventures is one of the more interesting titles we’ve seen.

We’re not really sure why you’d want to virtually walk around Disneyland – it’s cheaper, sure, but the experience isn’t the same – but we’ll be keen to see if the developers have left Tomorrowland intact.

We’ll have more for you in the comings weeks, but now it’s your turn: tell us what you’re playing and what you’re looking forward to. We’re personally looking forward to Mass Effect 3, but that’s a long way off. What about you? Tell us in the comments section below.
