Dark fantasy role-playing game Risen 3: Titan Lords launches in Australian retailers this week for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game is developed by Piranha Bytes, creators of the iconic Gothic RPG series.

　　Risen 3: Titan Lords returns to the medieval setting that was explored in the first Risen. The game is the sequel to Risen 2: Dark Waters, and features a world which players can shape with the decisions they make. Bjoern Pankratz, project lead at Piranha Bytes described exploration as "key to [the] game."

　　For those who would prefer to trade fantasy for modern day war, World of Tanks will finally be making its way to retail for the Xbox 360. The game was released earlier this year via Xbox Live Arcade as World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition and is developed by a separate studio to that of the PC version, Wargaming West.

　　The game was well-received in GameSpot's review, praised for its balance of authenticity and accessibility, and its approach to rewarding players for strategic play.
