Release Roundup: April 12

While there are no new Xbox 360 or PS3 games this week, there is Demigod on the PC.

Some of you might be asking, “What’s Demigod?” For those of you who don’t know, Demigod takes the basic structure of the breakout Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients and attempts to distill it to perfection. Players can choose one of 8 demigods, each with their own unique play style and abilities, and throw them into an epic battle where they must turn the tides.

While there are currently eight demigods to choose from, Gas Powered Games has stated that it plans on releasing additional demigods as downloadable content.

I have always been a fan of DotA, but felt that because it is built in Warcraft III it can be optimized. Demigod takes DotA to the next level with great graphics and optimized gameplay. I can’t wait to give Demigod a try when it comes out.

The games coming out this week are:

PC

• City of Heroes: Architect Edition
• Cryostasis: The Sleep of Reason
• Demigod

Wii

• Escape the Museum
• Samurai Shodown Anthology

PS2

• Guitar Hero: Metallica
