We told you last week that the dry spell wouldn’t last long! This week hits the ground running with a bunch of titles for fans of all genres. I will be honest, it is hard to just pick 3 recommendations for this week. There area bunch of great choices out there but since I must limit my selection, I will go with the following trio of sequels:
Anomaly 2: It is time to go back on the tower-offense as the sequel to Anomaly Warzone Earth finally makes its way to the PC. Things are getting really interesting this time around as part two introduces players to the world of a versus tower defense / offense game. Let’s see how you stack up against not only the computer, but your friend.
Sanctum 2: First person-tower-defense at its finest returns in Sanctum 2! If you never played the original, you definitely missed out. The game meshes together two of my favorite genres for an completely original experience. This time around you will get to choose from multiple character classes and a variety of enhancements for both your towers and your character.
Metro- Last Light: This is, without a doubt, THE big title for the week in my books. The original Metro 2033 was such an amazing experience and a game that I consider to be one of the finest of the current generation. After spending countless hours with the sequel, I have no doubt that Last Light will continue in that tradition. From developer 4A Games, the new chapter continues the adventures of Artyum as he learns to live with his decision to wipe out the Dark Ones at the end for the first game. Keep an eye out for our full review VERY soon and just know ahead of time that you are definitely in for a treat with this one.
