Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.
"Give up your human body for humanity" is the catch phrase of Too Human, the highlight of the week. Adventure as the cybernetic god Baldus and fight against the machines and evil intentions that threatens the existence of mankind.
The game takes place in a world modelled after Norse mythology with familiar names such as Loki, Hel and Odin popping up frequently. By comparing the flawed gods to the war machines (e.g. Loki and Hel are both immoral while Odin is really a computer system), the topic of humanity is questioned.
The clever blend of hi-tech machines and mythical elements produced a world which is both rustic and dazzlingly futuristic and provides plenty opportunities to show off the capabilities of your Xbox360™ systems.
The
Asia version of Too Human has arrived and is available for US$ 49.90 only. Likewise, the
US version will be arriving later this week and is sold for US$ 64.90 only.
Other versions released next week are the
Japanese version and the
First Print Limited Edition, both selling for the same price of US$ 64.90.
Be careful about loosing your way in the intriguing world of Too Human, let the
official guide book point you to the right way to victory. The guide is available later this week for US$ 19.90 only.
Aside from Xbox360™, the other third generation console that gets a hot action adventure is PlayStation 3™.
