Games to Grab: Company of Heroes 2 on Beta, Skyrim Legendary Edition Now Out & State of Decay on Xbox Live
It's been a while since Skyrim has made any more news following fans' broken hearts on the news of the discontinuation of the game.
And while Bethesda has moved on to other projects, it has given fans one last hurrah before it finally and truly closes the curtains on Skyrim.
Today marks the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition, available in North America.
The Examiner reports that the game has all the game titles updated and all the DLCs wrapped in one neat edition. And it's compatible for all platforms, particularly the three, Xbox 360, PS3, and the PC.
You can get it for $59.99, while those in Europe and Australia can expect to nab a copy at $45.88 for the console and at $30.58 for the PC starting June 7, according to VG 24/7.
Company of Heroes 2 gets beta
You only have less than two weeks to enjoy the beta version of Company of Heroes 2, which is available from toady until June 18.
According to Eurogamer, the beta version lets you access all the multiplayer modes, co-op plays, six maps, and the first 45 levels of the game's progression system.
Your efforts throughout the beta version will also not be lost, so long as you purchase the game anytime within the first 60 days following the game's launch on June 25 and play it on the Steam account that you used for the beta.
This means retaining your progress and unlocks that you've already earned.
"COH2 has had one of the most successful beta programs we've ever seen run at Relic and the support of the fans has been a critical factor in making the game more balanced and stable for launch," said Greg Wilson, producer, to Eurogamer.
State of Decay available in XBLA
If you have been on the lookout for the launch of Undead Labs' first game, State of Decay, you'll be happy to know that it's already available on the XBLA for 1600 MS Points or $20.
What makes State of Decay more than just your average zombie-fest is the fact that survival is the key to progress against what is an altering experiencing, as the game changes in real time.
The game is really all about survival, as you have to build and fortify your own territory, reports Ars Technica, just minutes into the game. It's like building your own shelter, the safe house being the sanctuary with medical tents, sleeping areas, and other elements necessary for survival.
"Events are going on with or without you, and you choose how and whether to interact with them and that will modify the state of world, and if you ignore it, that will also modify the state of the world," said Undead Labs founder Jeff Strain to Ars Technica.
Imagine playing god to characters the way you would see Rick leading his pack in The Walking Dead. The same theory applies--you have to decide on what to do, with the other survivors, the zombies, and the elements.
