But to those who it is for, it will be a dire and abiding wallet threat, not to mention a terrible time sink.  The game diary begins today.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s Rage.  Yeah.  So in terms of big budget, AAA shooter franchises out this year, Resistance 3, Gears 3, and Rage have laid their cards on the table.  Resistance 3 folded, Gears 3 threw down a pair of tens, and Rage reveals a jack high.  Okay Battlefield and Modern Warfare, what do you guys got?<\/p>\n<p>The downloadable Orcs Must Die is good, to be sure.  But it&#8217;s no Toy Soldiers: Cold War.  It&#8217;s about a Trenched.  That&#8217;s frankly not a bad thing to be.<\/p>\n<p>Activision follows up on last week&#8217;s X-Men game with this week&#8217;s Spider-Man game.  Can they clear the bars that were the Thor and Captain America game before Batman: Arkham City likely closes the book on licensed superheroics?<\/p>\n<p>Sony has a couple of dark horses this week.  Payday: The Heist (pictured) is like Left 4 Dead meets Heat by way of Kane and Lynch 2 with a touch of Gears of War&#8217;s horde mode and an unabashed nod to the opening of The Dark Knight.  Since it&#8217;s Sony Online, it will be available for the PC and PS3.  And it looks like the Playstation Network will finally release the PS3 version of Eufloria, a lovely minimalist RTS built for the PC that should fit neatly into living rooms.<\/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-9540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
