The funny thing about destiny is that even if you don't believe in it, it believes in you. An innocent childhood play-date set in motion a series of events that leads players to become the chosen Fafnir Knight decades later, sworn to protect their childhood friend, Princess Arianna of Caledonia.

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight offers essentially two games in one. The first is an updated remake of the hit Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard with new dungeon layouts, new graphics, and system improvements from the recent Etrian Odyssey Untold. The second is the Untold portion -- a brand new story mode with a fixed party, voiced dialogue,and animated cutscenes that follows the bittersweet tale of the Fafnir Knight, Princess Arianna, Flavio -- another hero of the Midgard Library -- and the two adventurers, Bertrand and Chloe. The five meet while exploring the Ginnungagap ruins, and then after misfortune unfolds, they venture back and forth between the Yggdrasil Labyrinth and Ginnungagap, slowly working their way to discovering the origins of the Fafnir Knight.

Fairy



Release Date: Tuesday, August 4, 2015
From our Review of the PS3 Version: Fairy Fencer F is a plucky little role-playing game that hides its best assets under a blanket of banality. Beneath the subpar graphics and cliche story lies strong combat, lovable characters, and an abundance of customization options. It may not be the deepest or most innovative RPG, but it has a lot of heart.

The

From our Review: Tris’ mind is the only realm worth exploring in the Divergent series, because it allows her to become detached from the illogical world in which she resides.

Splatoon

  • See it on Amazon for $58.55 (Wii U)

It will bring two new matchmaking modes (Squad Battle and Private Battle), two new weapon types (the bucket-like Slosher and Gatling gun-esque Splatling), an increase to the game’s level cap from 20 to 50, the addition of rank S and S+, and more than 40 pieces of new gear.

Seriously now, play Splatoon.

Spider:

"A secret society built Blackbird Estate for a specific reason ... Not even the family living there today knows what it was." You are a spider crawling about this abandoned mansion, spinning webs of your own design to trap insects as you make your way through the chambers of the home. Only a spider on the wall could ever really learn the truth about what happened in this mysterious place. Insanity, secret passages, coded messages and a faulty time machine await in the halls and rooms. Slip under floorboards and through keyholes for a spider's unique perspective on this dramatic tale told without words. You'll need to be a clever arachnid explorer indeed to solve each of Spider's seven enigmatic puzzles.

Spider knows where you are in the real world. When the sun sets outside your window, it becomes night in the game. When it rains in real life, the rain also falls on Blackbird Estate. All of this helps to immerse players as never before while they master your web crafting skills with a combination of action and planning. Learn the tricks of dozens of dynamic insects and trap them in your webs before you run out of silk.
Be sure to check back at the beginning of every week for a round-up of the week's hottest game and movie releases.
