AU Shippin' Out Jan. 11-15: Army of Two: The 40th Day

The virtual mercenary business is booming, and the latest game to revolve around a private military company--Army of Two: The 40th Day--is just about ready to accept contracts. The bromance continues as Salem and Rios head to Shanghai only to find themselves amidst an invasion. Thankfully, the two guns for hire have some new moves up their sleeves to fight their way out of the crumbling city, which might help players handle the new moral choices that they'll face. Army of Two: The 40th Day is due out around Australia this Thursday.

With the Vancouver Winter Olympics just over a month away, Sega is launching its licensed game just ahead of the massive sporting event. Similar to Sega's other licensed Olympic titles, Vancouver 2010 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games is a compilation of minigames based on real-world Olympic events, like two-man bobsleigh and snowboard cross. If you're after an escape from the Australian summer, then you can play Vancouver 2010 when it's released later this week on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
