Operation Flashpoint: Red River
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC
Developer: Codemasters
Publisher: Codemasters
Available: Apr 21, 2011
Kalahari.net price: from R518.95 (delivered in 24 hours)

After the successes of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Codemasters is back with the highly anticipated Red River. Taking you a few steps into the future, Red River will take the fight back to the Chinese PLA from the perspective of a marine fireteam thousands of miles from home.

Why should you care about this game? Red River will once again bring back the drop-in-drop-out co-operative play for up to four players online. It worked brilliantly in Dragon Rising and with the limited amount of co-op focused games at the moment, this one should fill the gap.

Darkspore
Platforms: PC
Developer: Maxis Software
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Available: Apr 29, 2011
Kalahari.net price: R304.95 (delivered in 24 hours)

How can we forget the 2008 sensation Spore? It was a legitimately great game that delivered hours of unique creature creating and fun. Now Maxis is continuing the trend, but this time players get to battle across alien worlds to save the galaxy from the mutated hoard of Darkspore.

Why should you care about this game? The original Spore was an in depth, unique gaming experience that was unlike any other and Darkspore seems to be following suit. For all the fans of the first game, keep an eye on Darkspore.

Developer: NetherRealm Studios
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

The newest chapter of the iconic fight franchise marks a triumphant return to the series’ mature presentation and a reinvention of its classic 2D fighting mechanic. Driven by an all new graphics engine, the fan favourite Fatality is back and presented in more gory detail than ever before.

Why should you care about this game? With a number of new game-play features including tag team and the deepest story mode of any fighting game yet, MK is the reboot we have been waiting for and by the looks of all the review scores already coming in, a must have for any fighting enthusiast. Oh, and did I mention the PS3 version comes packed with none other than the God of War himself, Kratos!
