New For Tuesday Print
Industry News
Written by Thomas Cummins   
Tuesday, 11 March 2008

brawl_box_art.jpgThis week is pretty jam packed with games, but no matter what was released Super Smash Bros Brawl outshines all of them.  SSBB needs no intro, I have a feeling that this will be the best selling game on the Wii, and may even take out the juggurnaut known as Wii Play.  Condemned 2: Bloodshot takes the horror genre to a new level, and has a new fighting mechanic that will have you beating up bums in no time.  If you want something a little familiar you can try the  House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return port for the Wii, cuase shooting zombie never gets old.  On the portable front we've got Insecticide (a insect-noir game), Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate (a continuation from the original GameCube game), and Wild Arms XF (a tactical rpg in a long line of games on the PS1 and PS2). Read on to see the full list of new released games this week.

New For Tuesday (Pata-pata-pata-pon Edition) Print
Industry News
Written by Thomas Cummins   
Monday, 25 February 2008
pataponboxart.jpgAh, new release day, my favorite day of the week!  This time around three games have really caught my eye.  Patapon is a rhythm/real time tactics game made by the same developers of LocoRoco.  By using the shape buttons in different combinations you can control your small Patapon, and the further you get in the game the more Patapon you can create.  Another game that really looked interesting was Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.  In this WWII first person shooter it was the Nazi's that won the war and now they have made their way to America.  You aren't a soldier, but a construction worker determined to band together US citizens and take the country back from the Nazi's.  The last is Frontlines: Fuel of war.  This is another war-oriented FPS that is set in the near future where Earth's resources are depleting and many countries are scrambling to control them.  Read on to see the rest of this week's new releases.

boxart.jpgLooks like a great week for new releases!  The fourth installment of the Ace Attorney jumps into action with the newcomer Apollo Justice.  Join 'The Club' with this new point based shooter from Bizzare Creations...well only if you have an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or a PC that meets the hardware requirements.  And no matter what console you have you can get your hack and slash on with a new Dragon Quest Swords installment for the Wii and a new Dynasty Warriors installment for the 360, PS3, and PC.  Sounds like a pretty good solid week of games to me, but if these games aren't enough for you just read on to the full story for all of this weeks new release games...you know you want to.

nmh_boxart.jpgYeah we missed a couple a few A LOT of weeks, and this is the first week back and boy is it a good lineup.  There isn't that many games being released this week, but most of them look really promising.  Soon to be one of the biggest anti-heroes in video game history Travis Touchdown stars in this weeks most promising new title, No More Heroes.  Nintnedo brings back the portable stratagy game Advance Wars, but this time around the game has a much darker tone in this entry in the series, Days of Ruin.  Also, take the streets of Paradise City with the first open world concept in a Burnout series title.  The concept is new the series, but no where near to video gaming, and hopefully the developers of this game will give us something to talk about.  The full release of games for this week is after the Jump.
