New Steam Store Releases: Toy Soldiers: War Chest

I'd like to start this post with a little disclaimer, if I may. I decided to feature Toy Soldiers: War Chest as the top game for this week, despite the fact that it is not the best release of the week. The reasons I am featuring it are because it is the third installment of a pretty good series, the overall gameplay is still solid, despite the fact that it may not be as good as it was in the previous two entries, and, most importantly, the nostalgia is strong with this one. Simply put, no other game from this week can claim to feature Ezio Auditore, He-Man, Duke and Cobra Commander! I just couldn't resist putting it front and center.

Please note that the game was published by Ubisoft and, as such, does require you to be signed in to their horrendous Uplay "service". For that reason, in addition to the fact that the game is absurdly overpriced, I would ask you not to interpret my featuring it here as encouragement to purchase the game. In all honesty, I would actually discourage a purchase unless or until they significantly lower the price and/or remove all Uplay requirements.

Now that that's out of the way, I can mention the real stand-outs. Also released this week, a highly-anticipated indie skateboarding sequel, a somewhat highly-anticipated E3 title, and a pretty great-looking ninja action platformer. Be blinded by nostalgia, then proceed further to see more of this week's new releases.

I've been gaming pretty much since I was old enough to hold a controller. I've always been a console guy but I've recently kind of shifted over to Steam (though I'm still not giving up the controller). I'm also absolutely obsessed with arcades.
