GAME NEWS:
It's another slow week for video game releases.
Hitting Gamefly this week is UFC Personal Trainer, another cash-grab at the UFC license. The game promises that you'll train like a UFC Champion, though that seems a bit rough when you're using a video game console from your couch. Fans of UFC might be impressed here, but this seems like a bit of a hard sell.
Hitting both the PS3 and Xbox this week is Sniper: Ghost Warrior. Fans of thought-provoking shooters will want to give it a try, and if it's anything like the original Sniper games back on the original Xbox, it's sure to have a target (pun intended) audience.
The big release this week is on Nintendo's 3DS, with Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. The shooter is pretty mindless, but features a ton of fun in the 3D enviornment. Fans of the franchise and the franchise's shooter modes will certainly want to give this a play-through.

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
Available on: June 28th, 2011.
The idea behind Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is simple. Make a 3D version of one of the most popular modes in the shooter franchise, and make a whole lot of it. The Mercenaries 3D starts with the Mercenaries Missions in the fourth and fifth Resident Evil installments, and adds new mission modes, more classic RE characters, and stereoscopic 3D graphics. Play as Chris and Claire Redfield, Krauser, Hunk, and other franchise favorites. You'll blast as many freakish undead creatures as possible before the clock runs out. Use the 3DS WiFi connection to link up with anyone anywhere in the world for co-op play.
