Raise your hand if you&#8217;re surprised that a sequel to a 15 year old shooter feels like a sequel to a 15 year old shooter.<\/p>\n<p>Alice: Madness Returns has the advantage of being a sequel to a more recent but middling platformer, so it doesn&#8217;t have far to go to be better than the original.  The latest Transformers game is in a similar situation.  I don&#8217;t have any desire to play Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time again, but if I did, I&#8217;d probably want to play it on the Nintendo 3DS.  It looks great, even (especially?) in 3D.  It&#8217;s enough to make me almost sorry that I don&#8217;t have any desire to play through yet another Zelda game.<\/p>\n<p>But this week&#8217;s biggest wallet threat is probably Child of Eden, a wigged out puzzle game from the creator of Rez, one of the original wigged out puzzle games.  With full support for Microsoft&#8217;s Kinect and Sony&#8217;s Move, this might be one of those games that makes your fancy controller a not entirely worthless investment.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, hey look, it&#8217;s Wipeout: In the Zone!  At last, a Wipeout game for the Xbox 360 (pictured)!  I don&#8217;t remember it looking quite like that, and it seems odd to me that it&#8217;s published by Activision, particularly now that it&#8217;s available as a free &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221; download from Sony because the Playstation Network being down for so long.  But it&#8217;s about time such a great sci-fi racing game has slipped the surly bonds of the Playstation hardware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
