So far this year there have been so stack able gems. To get you caught up here is a run down of this years high lights so far. If you like the feature It will turn into a new releases post similar to the ones I do for Windows Phone 7 games. Please leave feed back on the comments or my Twitter account @StophJ
Pretty much the hands down game of the year from 2010 makes it's way to a console near you yet again... Well, if Japan is near you that is. Mass Effect 2 makes it's way to Japan with no Cerberus network and No DLC (Yet?). It's the same game you know and love. It has full English language support just in case you were worried about making dialogue choices you did understand.
Bioware must have caught a little japan Fever in January. They are also bringing the 2009 RPG Dragon Age Origins to the NTSC-J console. A week before the release of Dragon Age 2 here in the US. The game includes a large amount of DLC included in the box including a possible 1325 Gamerscore. I can only assume the rest of the DLC will make it's way to the market place eventually so you may want to stock up on those Japanese Microsoft Points cards when you purchase this one.
The second version of Dead Space 2 comes from Germany a place where violence in video games will not be tolerated. It will be interesting to see what kind of butcher job the editing department did on this instant classic. one way or the other one of the greatest games of 2011 is ripe for the picking if you just couldn't get enough out of it the first go round.
Bulletstorm:
Bulletstorm makes it's debut in US stores this upcoming Tuesday with two separate versions worth a total of 2000 gamerscore. You can pick it up on Xbox 360 and PC. If you purchase the PC version through Games for Windows Live they will even give you a free copy of Gears of War PC for your trouble. which if you were wondering also features stack able achievements to the 360 version. makes me wonder... why no Gears 2 PC?
Venetica:
Venetica had been available in Germany for nearly a year before making its way to the US. It is rare a game Starts out in Europe and makes it's way here. if you like action RPG's this one may be worth a look with a minimum of 2 play throughs and 30 hours per copy. You could net your self a nice even 2000 points in 60 hours.
