Games of January 2010

MAG


Massive Action Game or MAG as it's more commonly known as is developer Zipper Interactive’s ambitious Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter (MMOFPS) that allows you and 256 (yes 256 people) to indulge in some online mayhem. Unfortunately the game won’t be releasing officially in India thanks to the absence of PSN so your option is sites like Play-Asia or the grey market.

Bayonetta


So if you took Dante, chopped off his male genetalia and endowed him with even more style and flair you’d get Bayonetta developer Hideki Kamiya's latest muse. We’re already very impressed with the game’s easy but intricate combat system so head over to our preview to understand why you need to own this game.

Army of Two: The 40th Day



Salem and Rios, the two cocky mercs for hire from Army of Two are back and this time they find themselves in the middle of a serious sh*tstorm when a routine mission in Shanghai goes terribly bad. Besides all the usual co-operative action expect newer moves like the ability to feign surrender, use enemies as human shields and so on.

Darksiders


So it’s the apocalypse once again but instead of some puny human striving to survive what’s left you’ll be stepping into the massive boots of War, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse who’s sent down to earth to figure out who trashed it (mighty nice of him). As far as gameplay is concerned think God of War meets GTA meets Prince of Persia with a whole amount of violence thrown in for good measure.

Dark Void



Ever wondered what happened to all the people that disappear from the Bermuda Triangle? Well they enter a dimension full of dominating evil robots and rocket jet packs if Capcom’s latest game Dark Void is to be believed. In it you’ll play as a cargo pilot who after an incident finds himself in the Bermuda Triangle where he becomes an unlikely hero saving civilization from evil robots.

Mass Effect 2


Fusing action with Role Playing elements has always been BioWare’s forte and with Mass Effect they seemed to have perfected that formula. Now with Mass Effect 2 they plan on taking it to the next level with a visual upgrade and tons of gameplay improvements.

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
