By February 15, 2013


Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Developer: Platinum Games > Publisher: Konami Digital Entertainment > Systems: > PS3, Xbox 360 Rating: M > Release Date: February 19

The MG series steps out of the shadows for some god-of-war-slash-devil-may-cry styled slice-and-dice action, but continues its soulful search for the ghost in the machine with a new cyborg ninja hero.

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan
Developer: Atlus > Publisher: Atlus > System: 3DS > Rating: T > Release Date: February 26

The Odyssey continues (now in three-dee!) with all the turn-based battle, complex character development, and map-happy hijinks that fans of the series have come to expect. 

Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengum
Developer: Idea Factory > Publisher: Aksys Games Localization > System: PSP > Rating: M > Release Date: February 19

You can relive the legends in this gritty Hakuoki RPG—or create new ones—playing as any of six celebrated samurai who fight to keep the peace as the shogunate falls to pieces.

Mud: FIM Motocross World Championship
Developer: Milestone > Publisher: Namco Bandai Games > Systems: PS3, Xbox 360 > Rating: T > Release Date: February 26

Looks like this Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme-endorsed virtual tour of Europe's favorite dirtbike tracks really has its ups and downs, but sometimes, getting dirty can be good clean fun.
