The Boulder Dash – 30th Anniversary trailer:

See the newest PES 2017 trailer here:

Check out the BioShock: The Collection trailer:

Don’t forget about the Dead Rising Remastered Collection trailer:

A surprising The Bunker trailer shows it’s a live-action horror game:

LOL you have to read this, sounds so campy yet intriguing! The Bunker description: “The Bunker is a completely live-action video game for PS4, starring Adam Brown (The Hobbit) and Sarah Greene (Penny Dreadful) with a story written and developed by gaming talent behind The Witcher, Broken Sword, and SOMA. — The Bunker tells the story of John, the last survivor living in a government bunker after a nuclear attack wiped out England. But the bunker holds many secrets, and John must confront his suppressed childhood memories to survive the horrors deep underground…”

Lastly, here’s a Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness visual novel introduction trailer:

I loved the Psycho-Pass sci-fi noir detective stories in the anime and following movie, so I definitely will be checking out Mandatory Happiness. It might be the last big media we’ll see of Psycho-Pass… Who knows if we’ll ever see this series in the limelight again?

That said, the game that’s a must-have to me is also the smallest in size for one of gaming’s biggest icons… it’s Pac-Man Championship Edition 2! Neon Pac is back! 😀

What video games will you be playing this week? Any of these?
