Video Game Release Dates & Ratings Announced

In light of the bank holiday break, gaming websites everywhere have felt the need for speed in new articles, releasing a plethora of reviews and dates to watch out for in the near future with relevance to new video games. "Alan Wake" (due to hit the UK one week before the US, on the 14th of May) has recieved its first few ratings, with most claiming it to be a flawed but overall brilliant game: IGN US gave "Wake" a 9 out of 10, stating that the "television-style episodic structure works well" and while "voices sometimes overlap" and "it's not a long game" there's a "fast and responsive combat system". Meanwhile, we've got release dates for "Medal Of Honour" (October 12, a whole month before Treyarch's "Call Of Duty: Black Ops"); "Super Mario Galaxy 2" (out in the US May 14th, and here June 23rd, sadly) and "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II". But for now, keep it real, and remember if you're a 360 owner that "Alan Wake" now looks to be well worth a purchase despite the lack of multi-player.
