Hot New Releases Set To Make The Summer Even Hotter

May 11^th- Capcom is looking to start the summer of 2010 off right with their latest 3^rd-person shooter: Lost Planet 2. They are hoping to match the success than they had with the first game of the series: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, which sold over 2.2 million copies after its release in 2007.  Taking place almost a decade after the first installment, Lost Planet 2 takes gamers deeper into the world of E.D.N. III to fight for the uncertain fate of mankind.

May 18^th- If you’re one of those gamers who just can’t forget about the Wild West then Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption looks to be a good match for you.  Ride along as former outlaw John Marston as he travels along the American frontier trying to instill a little law and order.  I mean, who doesn’t love gun battles, train robberies, and a nice duel every now and then?

Also being released on May 18^th is the next chapter to Ubisoft’s critically acclaimed series, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Bound to be another hit, The Forgotten Sands follows the Prince as he embarks on an epic adventure to save the Royal Palace from its nearly inevitable destruction.  Along this amazing journey, the Prince will learn that having power can sometimes come at a great cost.

May 25^th- After gaining much recognition with their first UFC game (UFC Undisputed 2009), THQ will attempt to do it again with their newest project: UFC Undisputed 2010. This game is bound to be successful: after all, everyone loves to beat the crap out of somebody every now and then.  With over 100 real mixed martial artists, this is the only MMA game out there that can bring you this close to the real thing without actually being in the octagon.

July 1^st- Team Tachyon of Tecmo brings us what promises to be one of, if not the, best game coming out this summer: Quantum Theory.  This 3^rd person shooter centers around two characters, Syd and Fillena, who set out to fight and take down the evil “living tower.”  The game is set to feature a cover system that is somewhat similar to that of Gears of War, which is one reason why it has been labeled with so much hype.  With great scenery and a lot of action, Team Tachyon’s first project is expected to be a great one.

These games, along with many others, are sure to make this summer something to really look forward to!
