New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

[djnemo65]

A game that really slipped under the radar is Bayonetta. One of the weirdest, coolest, twistedly beautiful games I've ever played. In the game you control a 10 foot tall witch who uses her hair to summon demons, has shotguns attached to her stilettos, can turn into a bat, crow, and leopard, and hunts angels and giant floating baby heads for a living. While the crazy Japanese imagery is pretty incredible, what really makes the game work is its combat system. Using only two attack buttons and dodge, it is stunning the combos you are stringing together by the end of the game. If you like games like God of War or Devil May Cry, this is one to check out.
