This Week's Releases - 2/3/09

PALGN Feature | Order in the absence of total war.

This week, RTS title Empire: Total War debuts on PC. Set against the backdrop of the 18th century, when great advances were made in industry and technology, players can once again choose diplomacy or military might to achieve total domination. The fifth instalment in the Total War series introduces warfare on the high seas, in which enemy vessels can be boarded or simply reduced to rubble. The game also adds gunpowder to the player’s large arsenal of weapons. Strategy supremos should look out for Empire: Total War in stores this Thursday.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia lands on the Nintendo DS this week. As a member of Ecclesia, an organisation sworn to defeat the evil forces of Dracula, players can adventure through 20 explorable areas as they complete side-quests and collect power-ups. Our in-depth review of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia can be read here.

Finally, RACE Pro is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 (some stores have already received their stock), and strategy RPG Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice makes its way to PlayStation 3.

I have been told this is not coming to Australia. Is this a definite and confirmed release Anthony? I don't want to go trusting you and be let down. I have been hurt before.

Got Race Pro last week from JB Hifi. Not a bad game but none of the bells and whistles of other racers just plain good racing. Must buy for Hardcore Racing Enthusiasts. Thanks
