Everybody's gone to the graveyard in this latest edition of Out This Week. Between the long-awaited PlayStation Vita port of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and the not-so anticipated PlayStation 4 port of Wii U exclusive Zombi, there's a little something for every undead obsessed gamer. Alternatively, you could just get Volume.
Pick of the Week: Volume
The latest title from Thomas Was Alone developer Mike Bithell does away with coloured shapes and replaces them with, well, neon ones instead. We're being facetious, of course, as there's actually a lot more to this game than its Metal Gear Solid VR-esque environments. A stealth title loosely inspired by Robin Hood legend, you'll play as Robert Locksley, a petty thief who happens upon a mysterious device which can be used to simulate heists.
Here's where it gets interesting, though: Locksley uses the so-called 'Volume' to broadcast simulations of high-profile crimes on the Internet, in a similar manner to Let's Play videos. Of course, he happens upon resistance along the way, including Andy Serkis' portrayal of Guy of Gisbourne, who's re-imagined here as a CEO whose company has taken control of all of England. This is a game about more than shapes, then, we suppose.

Can't wait for Volume, I goddamn loved Thomas Was Alone. Also tempted to play Risen 3 but I can't be arrrrrrrsed to spend money on it
Downloading Revelations now! at 27 euros and without owning the ps4 version seemed like a great buy
I really like Revelations 2 on PS4. Took me a while to properly get into it but now I've played it for over 100 hours and am still going. Might get the Vita version when it really, really drops in price.
Episode 4 of Tales from the Borderlands will also arrive tomorrow.
Voted for risen 3 because I thought it'd be funny. There's quite a few little games out this week, interesting.
Volume on Vita looks like a good investment, so does poker.
No love for Giana Sisters? Twisted Dreams is releasing physically on Wii U (and possibly other platforms?) according to Target's website, so I was halfway expecting a physical release with any new game in the series. Guess not.
There should be a Vote option for "The Witcher 3's New Game +"
Tempted to buy Resident Evil: Revelations 2 again because it's probably my favorite game of this year so far and I'd love to have it on the go but I want to see how the port turns out first.
If they stack up well compared to their console counterparts, I will likely grab Resi and Volume at some point, but I'll let the reviews come in first.
I'm actually really interested by The Bridge after reading about it on the PS Blog EU. The Escher influence is a cool idea and looks well done, so if the price is right I'm all on board for that!
Anyone know where Bedlam is?
