Check out the new game releases this month below.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>5th May<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Wolfenstein: The Old Blood<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EpgUVvhpEpA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This prequel to <i>Wolfenstein: The New Order<\/i> began life as downloadable content but was eventually transformed to a game in its own right. <i>The Old Blood<\/i> follows William \u201d\u02dcB.J\u2019 Blazkowicz as he attempts to break into Castle Wolfenstein, before meeting a Nazi archaeologist who\u2019s looking for some evil-unleashing artifacts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>8th May<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D0uLgdlEBbk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a tough couple of years for the Wii U, but Nintendo will be hoping <i>Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush <\/i>is the start of a grand comeback. It certainly uses the Wii\u2019s gamepad to good effect, with players drawing on it to guide Kirby through the various levels.<\/p>\n<p><i>Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush<\/i> has been out for a couple of months overseas already, and reviews have been mixed. That said, this should be worth it for younger gamers and Wii U owners looking for something new.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Project Cars<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BDIXSouz5LA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Originally set for release in November 2014, this sandbox racing game &#8211; which sees players take up a career in motorsport, tackling various disciplines from karting to full-on supercar racing &#8211; has been delayed numerous times. This time, though, we\u2019re fairly certain it\u2019ll be coming out. And it looks pretty decent too!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>15th May<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Codename S.T.E.A.M<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6SezVDf66YA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This turn-based strategy for the 3DS features the vocal talents of Wil Wheaton as&#8230;erm, Abraham Lincoln battling an alien invasion. It looks every bit as wacky as it sounds.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>19th May<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c0i88t0Kacs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CD Projekt\u2019s RPG series is so popular that President Barack Obama namechecked it in a speech. Here\u2019s hoping <i>Wild Hunt<\/i>, which follows hero Geralt as he tries to stop a supernatural invasion, matches those lofty standards. Apparently, it\u2019s 20 times bigger than <i>Skyrim<\/i>, so we\u2019re on the right track.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Farming Simulator \u201d\u02dc15<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FijusPevIiE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>According to Wikipedia, <i>Farming Simulator<\/i> is \u201d\u02dcthe most widely played realistic farming simulation game\u2019 in the world. Who are we to disagree?<\/p>\n<p>In case you aren\u2019t familiar, <i>Farming Simulator<\/i> tasks you with running a farm: you\u2019ll have to plant crops, commandeer tractors (there\u2019s over 41 brands to choose from) and run a profitable business. This new version introduces foresty and vehicle washing into the mix. Trust us, it\u2019s worryingly addictive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>29th May<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Splatoon<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8L54s2m1dPs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not often that Nintendo unveil a game <i>without<\/i> any of their main characters, so <i>Splatoon <\/i>is a bit special. It\u2019s a third person shooter in the style of <i>Gears of War<\/i>, but, true to form, Nintendo have replaced gruff space marines with colourful teenagers and chainsaws with paintball weapons. Oh, and you can turn into a squid too. Yep, this is going to be special.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you want to buy any of this month\u2019s new releases, why not <a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/entertainment\/trade-in-games\/\">sell games with musicMagpie<\/a> and make a bit of cash?
