So. James started posting a list of Wii and DS weekly releases over on the w, and I eventually started to mimic him becuase that’s the sort of person I am. I’ve started posting them on Friday, because (I usually have time on Fridays and) enough reviews have started turning up to give you a feel about the game. If it’s a game people are getting blind, they probably already know it’s out.
This is the only time a week I actually discuss my PS3. No one else I know actually has one or is close to getting one, so I almost kinda have to do this sort of research myself to figure out if anything good’s coming out. At least that’s my excuse.
I use ps3 fanboy to get the list of games, and wander over to gamestats to get links and reviews. And that’s the whole process.
Anyway, since I post it there, and I’m posting absolutely nothing here, why not cross post?
on the shelves
* FIFA 08 – the reviews I read say it’s a definite improvement over FIFA 07, but differ about how much more polish it still needs. Game features online league play, so that’s another franchise EA’s managed to figure out how to do that with while still not having it for Madden. There’s also going to be online psuedo-Superstar mode (it’s not fleshed out in the game), but it won’t arrive until a patch that’s yet to be released. You’ll have to watch the store for it.
* Folklore – adventure/rpg/fantasy mix; 1up gives it a “good” review but warns “may well bore the average player before reaching the halfway point”
* Sega Rally Revo – racing. Looks pretty, very limited. It’s an arcade game, basically – fun but not deep.
Games: Everyday Shooter ($10) – 1up says it’s the first must buy game of the store (though I found the screen shots confusing)
Demos: Ratchet and Clank, NHL 2K8, Conan
Videos: Uncharted (BTS), Folklore (trailer), Fallout 3 (trailer)
Movie Trailers: The Assassination of Jesse James, Spiderwick Chronicles, Walk Hard
Wallpaper: Ratchet and Clank, Everyday Shooter
Next week: the next Tony Hawk and a re-release of the last Elder Scrolls game.
So I guess video games beat out restaurant reviews on the ‘Where to take this blog next’ battle.
I’m much too cheap to do restaurant reviews. Unless you’re dying to know how the different Subways of the collar counties measure up.
