Halo 2 

The original Halo was a driving force in creating a substantial market share against Sony and Nintendo, and expectations for the sequel were naturally high. Halo 2 delivered upon those expectations in spades, combining an adrenaline-pumping story with a comprehensive suite of multiplayer options making for an experience that keeps you hooked and doesn’t let go. Hundreds of thousands of fans would have fond memories of duking it out against friends, and Halo 2 might just be the defining Xbox experience for a majority of those fans.

One of the most under-rated games of the previous generation and even before that, Oddworld Inhabitants’ Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath finally makes its way to iOS. It can be played on both iPhones and iPads alike with support for gamepads. It will be sometime before the game is available on Android but will apparently be out “very soon” according to the developer.

Stranger’s Wrath will feature support for Achievements and Cloud Saves along with the usual revamped controls for touch-screen devices. If you aren’t familiar with Stranger’s Wrath, then just know that it’s an action adventure title set in the Oddworld universe centered around a fiendish bounty hunter who uses live ammunition (each with its own different effects). It’s as cool as it is bizarre.

Will you be playing Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath on iOS? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned for more information on the game’s release for Android.

As of October 23rd, PS Plus subscribers on the European PSN will be able to download Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Remember Me, Oddworld Strangers Wrath and MotorStorm RC for free. The games leaving PlayStation Plus as of October 23rd are Far Cry 3, Mafia 2, Spec Ops The Line (NBA 2K13 in UAE), Street Fighter X Tekken and Touch My Katamari.

While Dontnod’s Remember Me has been the subject of mixed reviews and sales, Platinum’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a solid action game which lets you slice up anything and everything as Raiden. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is one of Just Add Water’s better games, and perhaps one of the best games produced under the Oddworld line. Regardless of which one you choose, there’s no denying that this is a fantastic deal for PS Plus subscribers.

Oddworld Inhabitants have confirmed that the PS3 HD remake of Oddworld: Strangers Wrath will be released via the PlayStation Store ‘this summer’.

The remake will naturally get an HD makeover, but will also include updates such as re-mastered dialogue, additional content and Move support.

“Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is the first project in what we believe will be a long and fruitful relationship. Having the chance to update this great title and release it on PS3 is just a brilliant opportunity, not least for us, but for the fans too.” said developer Just Add Water’s Stewart Gilray.

Munch’s Oddysee will also get a PS store release in autumn.
