AU New Releases February 10-16: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Lightning strikes not once, not twice, but three times in this week's release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. The game marks the final instalment in the Final Fantasy XIII universe, and concludes the story of protagonist Lightning.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII chronicles the last 13 days of the game's universe, with players taking on the role of Lightning as she seeks a way to save the world from extinction.The game retains the Paradigm Shift combat system introduced in Final Fantasy XIII, although players can now move Lightning around the battlefield and swap weapons instantaneously.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be released on February 13 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Gamers who are curious to try Lightning Returns but have not played through the previous two games can watch a retro-style trailer that explains the story so far.

The game is a bundle that includes Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, and Far Cry: Blood Dragon, as well as Far Cry Classic, the high-definition remake of the first Far Cry title.
