New games releasing this week: February 20 – February 26

4.5

Halo Wars 2 is the major retail release this week, but there’s so much of import happening in the digital and indie scene.

Although special edition owners started playing last week, Halo Wars 2 arrives on Tuesday. It’s been a long wait for franchise fans and we’re interested to see how the strategy masters at the Creative Assembly rework the console-friendly RTS.

The other big release this week is Berserk and the Band of the Hawk. Based on the popular, uber-violent manga franchise, it comes from the Dynasty Warriors team, which has a history of successful adaptations such as One Piece. Should be a hit with fans.
