In Stores This Week Around the World

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Written Monday, January 30, 2012 By Lee Bradley

It's back, folks. After a period of forced exile thanks to the pre and post-Christmas drought, there's actually stuff out in stores around the world this week! Let's get stuck in.

Three games dominate this week's release schedules worldwide, all coming from the land of the rising sun: Namco Bandai's Soul Calibur V and Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII-2 will both be trying to overcome their predecessor's shortcomings, while Konami's NeverDead... Well, that's just insane.

Elsewhere, in the "about bloody time" category, Europe finally gets its hands on the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and Japan now has the chance to be ever-so-slightly disappointed with Dragon Age 2. Lucky them.

You'll find the full list of worldwide releases below. Now, finally, 2012 gets into its stride.

	Dragon Age II in Asia? Really? Just a normal edition or a edition with extra/all DLC on the disc?
