The movement came about because Nintendo had published three well received roleplaying games in European, Japanese and Australian markets, but announced that despite the English translation being done, those games wouldn't be available in the United States. Back in 2011 a group of fans started an online petition calling themselves, Operation Rainfall. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege released Tuesday for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.īack when the Wii was the bestselling system on the market, Nintendo started a little firestorm with their most loyal fans by doing what they do best, sitting on their properties. I'm not sure Siege is going to do great, one because it was released so late in the holiday season it could to get lost, and two anyone who wants a game like this already bought Battlefront. Much like the recently released Star Wars: Battlefront, Siege is strictly multiplayer only, leaving anti-social gamers like me out in the cold. The good news is the multiplayer seems really robust with modes like Infiltrate and Fortify as well as an emphasis on customizing your own counter terrorism operative. The big hook of the game is the realistic take on firefights with large sections of the map being destructible. That's right, drywall doesn't stop bullets from assault rifles and Siege takes that idea and runs with it, asking players to rely on teamwork and real life tools like riot shields to protect themselves. Let's get the bad news out of the way first, Rainbow Six has no single player experience to speak of. The tactical first person shooter pits you and a team of four other players against another team of five in different online matches.

It's been some time since we've seen the franchise, but series protagonist Rico Rodriguez is ready to grapple onto your heart, (then blow it up) in Just Cause 3. The third person open world action adventure game takes Rodriguez to the Mediterranean where he's returned to depose the dictator occupying his homeland. But generic narrative aside, you shouldn't be going to Just Cause 3 for the story, it's the over the top action that defines this game. With a huge emphasis on destructible buildings, structures, and the like, Just Cause 3 encourages you free your homeland by blowing up large sections of it.įor folks of a certain generation, the name Tom Clancy holds a lot of weight. If you're my parent's age, it's likely that you know him from a hit series of military themed novels. While the original never set the world on fire, a leap in technology on the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 helped it morphed from another 'me too' open world game, into a genre defining sleeper hit. Take Eidos's Just Cause franchise, originally an open world third person shooter released late in the PlayStation 2/Xbox generation, when the consoles were lousy with open world games. Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex, but they also got a few surprises in that deal too.

One of those titles is a sequel to one of my favorite games from last generation and is dripping with over the top action goodness. On top of that we have an ambitious shooter, a Wii U role playing game, and finish out with the last free games of the year.Ī few years back when Square merged with Eidos they got some downright monolithic franchises with big name recognition.

Even though the biggest shopping day of the year has come and gone, that didn't stop a hand full of publishers from saving a few games for real late in the year.

Welcome back to Sweet Release! Bleeding Cool's look at the new games hitting store shelves and digital platforms.
