You have to admit, it is a good trailer. Fable III is a 50 year later sequel based on the aftermath of the events in Fable II. The Fable series has the typical and increasingly popular choose your path and allegiance story line where you can make your playable character one of the good guys, or one of the baddies. If you are a gamer who likes a set story, find another game. If you are a BioWare (Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Knights of the Old Republic) lover, look no further…well unless you haven’t played the first two Fable games. You should probably play those first.
“You will be called upon to rally and fight alongside your people, ascend to the seat of power, and experience the true meaning of love and loss while defending your throne. In your quest to seize power and defend your kingdom, the choices you make will change the world around you, for the greater good or your own personal gain. Who will you become? A rebel without a cause, the tyrant you rebelled against, or the greatest ruler to ever live?”

Running around and blowing up zombies is something we are all for at Game-Flush.com. The Game Flush Staff posse cannot wait to ride into this DLC for Red Dead Redemption. The staff has poured countless hours into the single player and online multiplayer modes of the game. Red Dead Redemption has a feel that is unlike any other game, and if you haven’t given it a go, you’re missing out on sheer genius.
The Undead Nightmare Pack will bring additions to both the campaign and online multiplayer modes of the game. Single player will receive a new quest and new animals to hunt. Multiplayer will have eight new playable characters with added horror elements. Along with the past DLCs for Redemption (Legends and Killers & Liars and Cheaters), this pack gives everyone another reason to saddle up.

If you believe your calling in life is playing fake instruments in front of a TV with friends then look no further. Rock Band returns with its response to Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. It will be interesting to see how Rock Band 3 sells in comparison. Both game s will have had serious game competition when they were released, so the playing field is even.
“This next iteration in the Rock Band platform has something for everyone. Master an instrument through the gameplay fun of “Rock Band Pro,” add another member to your band with a keyboard controller, or experience 83 new hits from 83 unique bands, along with your current library of songs from the over 1,500 songs available to date and counting.”

LucasArts may have hit the jackpot with this one. The game looks amazing. Multiple people, who have never thought of touching a Star Wars game in the past, plan on ripping this sucker off the shelf this week. Who are we kidding? Most people shop online these days. We go Amazon.com at Game Flush (which is why they are a sponsor. You can access Amazon on any article through our site). One thing is for sure: this game will sell. Hopefully it is as good as the first one.
“The chase is on – Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller.
With all-new devastating Force powers and the ability to dual-wield lightsabers, Starkiller cuts a swath through deadly new enemies across exciting worlds from the Star Wars films – all in his desperate search for answers to his past.”

If there’s one thing many have said over the years is that video game makers should take notes from THQ’s wrestling games. Each game they put out is usually accompanied by a high replay value. A common complaint heard about both UFC Undisputed 2009 and 2010 was that they should have been created more like the typical WWE video game. Our only complaint about this game right off the bat is that John Cena is in it…and even worse, on the cover.
“WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 will empower players more than ever to define their gameplay experiences in a dynamic and ever-changing WWE. Gameplay scenarios will change based on player decisions, allowing for more spontaneous WWE action in and out of the ring. Players will also enjoy a greater level of interactivity and have increased control of their destinies in the game’s popular Road to WrestleMania story-driven mode.”

Safe to say that the Game Flush staff will be knee deep in Red Un-Dead Redemption this week. But Fable 3 and The Forced Unleashed 2 certainly are worthwhile purchases as well. What are you, the most attractive video game audience a site could ever have, looking forward to this week?
