Release Roundup: May 10

This week’s Release Roundup has something for everyone.

For shooter fans, Killing Floor hits Steam this week. Killing Floor is a co-operative FPS that plays like Left 4 Dead mixed with CoD:WaW’s Nazi Zombies mode. Developed by veteran indie developer  Tripwire Interactive (Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45), Killing Floor promises hours of gory fun.

If WWII sims are you thing, you might want to check out Battlestations: Pacific. Developed by Eidos, Pacific expands on Battlestations: Midway by adding new weapons, vehicles, and combat options.

If hack and slash RPGs sound good to you, Sacred 2: Fallen Angel hits consoles this week. Sacred 2 plays like your typical Diablo clone, with players choosing a class, exploring dungeons, and leveling up. I’ve played a little Sacred 2 on PC and I must say, I was impressed. The game may not have the most innovative of game mechanics, but they are implemented well.
