Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor: Coming to Xbox 360 and Kinect 6/19/2012

Engage in a brutal war for dominance in the year 2082, where technology has been nearly eradicated / Role Play Game / ESRB RM

In a world where technology has been nearly wiped out, the balance of power has been drastically shifted. New superpowers fight for dominance in a desolate world where nations are relying on human skill, courage and elementary weapons to wage this new war. In this low-tech time period, there is one weapon class that will shape the outcome of the war — the Vertical Tank. As a pilot of one of these tanks, it's up to you to lead your crew on a mission around the globe to reclaim control of the planet.

Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor places you in the role of Pilot Lt. Powers as you set out on a dangerous mission across the war-torn globe to seize the balance of power. Command a Vertical Tank (VT) using a combination of traditional controller gameplay and Kinect. Move the VT on the battlefield, aim and fire the main guns with the Xbox 360 controller. Then start the engine, operate the scope and perform other combat-crucial actions as well as interact with crewmembers using the Kinect. Experience the engaging storyline set in a world where the balance of power has shifted after a technology meltdown. Are you ready to dominate the battlefield in the only weapon that can determine the course of the war?

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword: Coming 11/20/2011

As you step through the brush, you sense something is off. You creep slowly toward the river that meanders through this small clearing. You peer into the water and only see your reflection staring back at you. Taking a few deep breaths to calm yourself, you turn around to look up and see a massive monster towering over you. Pulling your sword from its sheath and raising your shield — you look skyward and get ready for an epic battle.

Embark on Link's greatest adventure yet with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Full motion control is supported by the Wii MotionPlus accessory (required) and allows Link's actions to mirror your movements on-screen. Draw a bow and fire it, toss bombs at enemies and use your whip to solve puzzles with clear accuracy. The precision play control links every action of Link's sword to your motions for intuitive gameplay. This new control applies to enemies as well — carefully plot your attacks, for your opponents actively try to defend themselves. New gameplay mechanics, beautifully designed visuals and intuitive controls allow you to begin Link's most exciting quest yet.

To summarize the reviews below, the critics have stated it is the best Wii game ever, the best Zelda game ever and the best video game with motion control.


My prediction is that this will be the must have game this Christmas season, get it now before there aren't enough copies to make that perfect gift for your loved ones.

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Bundle includes The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game, gold Wii Remote Plus controller and an orchestral music CD featuring select songs that will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert

To summarize: If you want the bundle you should probably go with your favorite retailer that has it, except for Best Buy's Gamer's Club Buy 5, Get $100, there aren't really any special pre-order deals (I've noticed it's pretty rare for Wii games today), but the standard edition is only $49.99 at most retailers with the Bundle coming in at $69.99, Deep Discount (bottom of the page) offers the best price deal. As I understand it, the Bundle includes the remote that you need if you don't already have one.

Reviews (they open in a new window)


IGN calls it both the best Zelda game ever AND the best Wii game ever

Joystiq says Skyward Sword "taps into a kind of magic that no game ever has before", read their full review

Nintendo World Report states "With one release, Nintendo justifies the existence of Wii MotionPlus", read the full review

Metro Game Central states "Revolutionary on at least two counts, with the best motion controls ever seen in a video game and an inspired reinvention and improvement of the Zelda formula." Full review

Metacritic has the rest of the reviews, 8 perfect scores and all of them positive
