Top New Games Out This Week On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC -- February 18-24
This week's batch of new games have plenty to take on, whether it's the undead in Metal Gear Survive, rival kingdoms in Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, or a bunch of ghosts in Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus. You can also explore a mysterious space facility in The Station, or throw down with some four-legged animals in Them's Fightin' Herds.
Metal Gear Survive -- February 20
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
The first Metal Gear game since Hideo Kojima left Konami is very different from Snake's sneaking missions. This open-world survival game is all about scavenging for resources to build weapons and defenses. You can take the challenge solo or with friends in co-op.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition -- February 20
Available on: PC
After a delay, the best way to play this classic strategy game is launching this week. It's souped-up for the modern era with 4K support, brand-new narration, and rebuilt sound effects--but you can always turn all that off and play in Classic Mode too. Definitive Edition includes the base game and the Rise of Rome expansion.

The Station -- February 20
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
This first-person game has you exploring the titular station as it orbits above an alien planet in the midst of a civil war.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus -- February 22
Available on: Switch
Championship Edition 2 is coming to Switch with new features. First and foremost, you can hand your friend a Joy-Con and play co-op. And of course there are plenty of boards and bosses to complete in both Time Attack and Adventure modes. Watch out for ghost trains!

Them's Fightin' Herds -- February 22
Available on: PC
If this cartoon-looking fighter seems familiar, that's because it comes from the same mind behind My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. But don't let the cutesy look fool you: this fighter takes cues from series like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, so don't expect an easy battle.
