PSXE Poll Update: Two Big Titles Leave Gamers Undecided
Maybe there's room for two successful games this week.
THQ and Vigil Games will release Darksiders II on Tuesday, and United Front Games and Square Enix will launch their competitor, Sleeping Dogs, on the same day. Both have fantastic potential and early feedback and reviews are pointing towards not one, but two top-quality adventures. Decisions, decisions...
So maybe that's why the PSXE readers are basically split right down the middle. Darksiders II eked out a narrow victory in this week's popularity contest, but it may as well have been equal, and let's not forget about the slim majority that isn't interested in either offering. If both games turn out great, we're hoping gamers will reward both developers and publishers involved; after all, the industry is having a pretty tough year, so put a crowbar in those wallets if there's something you want.
This week, we turn our attention to one of the most anticipated games of the generation: Grand Theft Auto V. Most still think it has a chance of launching later this year, while others think we still have a long wait. What's your take? When will it finally launch?

But I just finished Brotherhood and started Revelations. So there may not be time for anything. Revelations is really good by the way. I like the RTS type gameplay they threw in, and the CGI in the cut scenes is really cool. The battle system is fun and the story is intriguing. I didnt understand how they would involve Altier when the game was announced, but I knew I wished somehow they'd get him more involved in the story since I feel the first was an injustice to him. So far so good! Sorry bout that off topic rant about AC but it's the reason I won't be purchasing any games this week. Getting ready for AC3!
As far as GTAV. I'm not sure I understand R* right now. They have a huge team and great publisher yet release a game every 3 years or so. That's fine it seems about average, maybe a little higher for most games, but this quietness is a little unsettling. So I'm not sure what the status of GTAV is honestly. All I do know is I'm pretty certain I'm gonna have to wait until next gen for the next Red Dead and that's a shame.

Not since Journey have I sate in the games library screen and just listened to a highlighted games menu music for this long.

I just looked at the poll and won't be voting on that one since there isn't a "I don't care option".
