Coming Soon

There are slim pickings in the world of major console and PC game releases this week, but stay tuned for a review of Rift.

Fight Night Champion

Electronic Arts

Xbox 360 / Playstation 3

Rated Mature

Sports

Single and Multiplayer

March 1, 2011

Electronics Arts blends cinematic quality graphics with a plot line straight out of a Hollywood movie in Fight Night Champion. The game features Championship (Story) and Legacy (Career) modes. Blood and injury are captured with gory detail. If the controls are good, this could be the best boxing game since Mike Tyson's Punch-out!

Gun Loco

Square Enix

Xbox 360

Rating Pending (likely M)

Third Person Shooter

Single and Multiplayer

Release Day

It's release day! If you have a moment in between games or during loading screens tell us what you think. TWIG is nothing without your input and support. Thanks everyone! Keep on gaming!


Tomorrow I will start posting the previews for the next week's releases.


UPDATE:
Release day for Killzone 3, Bulletstorm, and Radiant Historia. See the other blog posts for more information.

Midnight Releases

Some local Gamestop location will be hosting midnight opening events for Bulletstorm as well as Killzone 3. Contact your local Gamestop to see if you will be one of the first to play these hot titles. The banner below will bring you to the Gamestop store finder. Good luck, and as always, keep gaming! 

Rift - Open Beta

PC
Rated Teen
Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO)

Kill some creatures and some time with the Rift open beta. If you get hooked to this potential World of Warcraft killer, you won't have long to wait. Progress using three "souls" (classes) at once for a customized character. Player versus player (PvP) and player versus environment (PvE) content is available.

Youtube Video Previews

If there is enough interest, I will begin posting youtube preview videos of the games listed on TWIG. This will probably start next week. Games are generally released every Tuesday (at least in the United States). 


Hope you enjoy the site! Keep on gaming!
