Week in Gaming [Dec 17-23 2012]: The War Z, Street Fighter X Mega Man

Gaming releases have almost come to a halt as the holidays come knocking. The fan-made free-to-download Street Fighter X Mega Man for the PC releases this week as well as zombie MMO The War Z and Knytt Underground for PSN.

Street Fighter X Mega Man: The Blue Bomber is 25 this year and to celebrate, fans made this crossover game which plays like your classic Mega Man game except the bosses are all Street Fighter characters. It is as cool as it sounds and as always with old school Mega Man games, it’s hard but it’s free so go and download it for the PC NOW!

The War Z: A survival horror MMO by Hammerpoint Interactive for the PC; it’s an open world game where you try to survive a zombie apocalypse. It’s still in its beta phase and many would say it’s a rip-off of the beloved DayZ but it does have some promise to it.

Knytt Underground: The latest entry in the Knytt series releases on December 18th for the PSN featuring 1,800 rooms to explore. Being offered is the cross buy deal, getting it on either PS3 or PS Vita will unlock the other. It will release for the PC and Steam as well if it gets enough Greenlight support.

Not much else worth mentioning this week except DLCs for Battlefield 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Rage and Resident Evil 6 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
