Portal 2! Mortal Kombat! Op Flash!
It’s a hard time to be a gamer. Marvellous temperatures outside and a small flotilla of incoming bank holidays call you away from your gaming device(s) of choice. What else could herald one of the busiest weeks of game releases so far this year?
Wormholing platformer Portal 2 lands this week! Stay inside, take off your flip-flops and remind yourself it’s only April. The sequel to Valve’s perfect platform puzzler is almost certainly definitely going to be good.
Also challenging Zumba Fitness’ two-week reign atop the UK chart is Mortal Kombat, the latest launch in the veteran fighting series. And alongside that are two very different shooters – Codemasters’ slightly-futuristic sequel Operation Flashpoint: Red River, which is set in Tajikistan, and High Voltage’s Wii exclusive and very-futuristic shooter The Conduit 2, which is set at least partly in Atlantis.
