Welcome back for another edition of Video Game Bits. As we said on Monday, this week is a big one for video game releases, as you probably already noticed from our long list of releases yesterday. Today, the list expands even further, and will continue to expand more tomorrow. So here is today's Video Game Bits.
Electronic
Arts announced the release of
Medal of Honor Heroes 2 today
for Wii and PSP. The game was designed from the ground up for both
systems, and features 32-person online play for both Wii and PSP,
support for the Wii Zapper and a unique Arcade Mode that plays like a
rail-shooter, to simplify gameplay. The game begins on June 6, 1944
and players step into the boots of OSS Operative John Berg to
infiltrate Normandy from behind enemy lines. Both versions of the
game will have an all new single player campaign as well as online
mutliplayer battles, where players can jump into any battle at any
time against anyone.

$39.99 USD and CAD and is rated T for Teen.
