Apollo Justice – Ace Attorney – May 9th / DS
What do you do when you’ve built up a series with a whole host of lovable and memorable characters? Throw them out the window, and bring in a bunch of new ones. Phoenix Wright takes the back seat (well, the defendant’s seat) as new lawyer Apollo Justice rises to the title of Ace Attorney. It’s the first installment of the text based lawyer series to be made specifically for the DS, retaining the classic style of investigation and interrogation you’ll have become used to in the first three games (well, two games if you’re not an importer), but adding a new twist with Apollo’s perception bracelet as you can look for the tiniest twitch of a lying witness.
It might not deviate enough according to our BGB Review, but if you’re ready for another day in court – there should be no objections.
Rock Band – May 23rd / 360
Become a Rock Legend and take the part of a musician, or a bassist, in a worldwide tour. In a natural evolution for Harmonix, Guitar Hero becomes a single cornerstone in a four man group as you bash away on plastic peripherals to almost 100 (with premium DLC) classics, like Radiohead, Chili Peppers and The Who. With online play, respectable peripherals (although hopefully we’ll avoid the technical issues that America faced), an incredible song line up and promises of lots more DLC; Rock Band could be the only plastic performance kit you’ll ever need.
Race Driver: GRID – May 30th / 360, PS3, PC, DS
The latest instalment of the influential TOCA series, but apparently the brand name means nothing to Codemasters who lost it in favour of throwing car related words at a whiteboard and seeing what stuck – Race Driver GRID.
Building upon the awesome Neon engine (last seen in DiRT), Race Driver boasts an authentic and persistent damage model as it adds bumps and scratches, not only to the vehicles but to the tracks as well. The game will have circuit events, street races and drift challenges in Europe, USA and Japan respectively. We’ve been invited to see the game at Codemasters later in May, so look out for previews then.
