Too Human
This Week in Gaming Releases and News
As we get closer and closer to the Christmas season, publishers are ramping up their releases of games which quickly turns in to an overload of great games coming out. In the next month alone we have Rock Band 2, Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Mercenaries 2, Spore and Warhammer Online releasing, all games that have a large amount of fans behind them and a lot of excitement. Before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about games that came out this week.
This week Too Human has released (August 20th), a game that has been development for an epic nine years by the development team at Silicon Knights and published by Microsoft. The release hasn’t come without it’s controversy, with mixed reviews coming in early this week about the game. Since the game just released today in most stores our data isn’t really there to indicate if Too Human will come out of the game with a splash or a thud. Whatever the case may be, it will be interesting to see how this pans out. My bet is that this game will be a hot topic for weeks to come.
Team Fortress 2 has been in the news this week because of their free Heavy Update to the game, which added new maps as well as new weapons and achievements to the Heavy class. Valve has stepped it up another notch by allowing everyone to play Team Fortress 2 for free this weekend. If you haven’t already, check this game out, it is one of the best online multiplayer FPS’s out right now.
Last but certainly not least, the drums of WAR have begun as we get closer and closer to the release of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The excitement for this MMORPG has increased with the developers dropping the NDA for the game, the announcement of the Warhammer Online release date and finally announcing that Open Beta starts on September 7th. At gamerDNA we’re very excited about Warhammer Online, so you can count on some fun and exciting WAR announcements coming in the coming days and weeks. Next week we’re hoping to launch a free Warhammer guild theme, so stay tuned and check out our free guild hosting in preparation for the new custom theme.
That about wraps it up for this week’s update. Soon we’ll be talking about our new Warhammer Theme as well as our upcoming visit to the Penny Arcade Expo next week. See you next time!
