It may not be a blockbuster week in gaming but, with two major releases, we’re certainly getting these. If neither Wolfenstein or Transistor tickle your pickle then there’s always Watch Dogs next week.
Wolfenstein: The New Order | PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, X1, PC | Tuesday
Several years after Raven Software’s plausible reboot comes another second wind for FPS cornerstone, Wolfenstein.

Developed by MachineGames, The New Order asks what would happen if the Nazis won the Second World War. Set during the 1960s, players reprise the role of Nazi slaying badass, B.J Blazkcowicz, in a suicidal counter-offensive against the German oppressors.
Expect over-the-top action layered between bouts of old school first person shooter action, we scored the game a 7/10 in our review which was published this morning.
Transistor | PS4, PC | Wednesday
From the creators of Bastion comes yet another stylish action role-playing game, this time donning a sleek, sci-fi exterior.
As Red, players are tasked with tracking down her would-be assassins with the mighty Transistor, a great sword with a twist. The fancy blade carries the consciousness of one of its victims, creating an interesting dynamic.
Be sure to come back later today to see our full review.
Goat Simulator | PC | Friday

Spawned from a bizarre yet simple concept, Goat Simulator will be making the jump to retail this week. Huzzah!
Mugen Souls Z | PS3 | Friday
Finally, we round off the week with a quirky Japanese import.

Some of you may remember Mugen Souls when it launched in 2012. Z is pretty much the same core game albeit tagged with a variety of crazy additions.
Our review goes live later this week JRPG fans, so keep an eye out!
