9/1/07

Gamespot pages. To see an enlarged version of the box, click the image…. of the box… well, use common sense.
Foist off,
NEW GAMES
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
For the Wii, 1-2 (I’m guessing) players
For a very big name, this game looks a little mediocre to me. It’s a 2D fighting game, and to me it sorta looks like Gamecube version. I dunno.
Anyway, if you want to, look forward to it in 10 days (September 11th).

Worms: A Space Oddity
For the Wii
Now, this seems a little weird to me, but here I go.
*ahem* Worms is a great tactical game where you aim and shoot to hit the enemy worms, with a variety of different ammo and effects. The difference this particular game will have is that it happens on a few different PLANETS. Weird, huh? Anyway, expect it in ’08.

Halo 3
For the XBOX 360, 1-4 players
Another ‘If you have a pulse, YOU NEED IT game. Halo is often viewed as the first person shooter that really kicked it off on the XBOX. Good times, good times. Anyway, it’s coming out on September 25th, and since I’ve put it in an exclusively Nintendo series, it’s gotta be good.

Math Play
For the DS
Apparently a card-math game. Interesting. I don’t have a lot to say.
Due September.

Garfield’s Nightmare
For the DS
All I can say is that I think it’s often hard to transform comic into movies or video games. Garfield is an example of that struggle.
I think this is the first venture of Garfield into 2D-ness, so wait and see.
Oh yeah, this is apparently about a nightmare he’s having due to bad lasagna or something. September 4th.

OUT NOW
Metroid 3
Yay, M. 3 is out!
It’s really fun, and I think you should totally get it. Worth it.
Also, I heard tell of it being, like, the ‘last one’ or something. I sure hope not.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour ‘08
For… well, practically EVERYTHING, 1-4 players
Tiger Woods is a golfing series that goes WAY back. Anyway, I don’t like the games, and Gamespot gave it a 7, saying that it’s not really different than the last one. Go figure.

Turn It Around
For the DS, 1-2 players
Turn It Around is, I quote (from Gamespot), “A collection of minigames based on rotating discs on the touch screen.”
Now, that seems a little odd to me. The ‘rotating disks’ part, not the ‘minigames’ part. Hey, maybe it works and people love it. Dunno.

Professional Fisherman’s Tour: Northern Hemisphere
For the DS, probably 1-4 players
Whew, and if you thought Guilty Gear’s name was long. Pro Fisherman’s tour is a game in which you compete with your friends on who can catch the biggest fish, or just try for a high record against yourself. I hope the touch screen is integrated fully into this, ‘cuz that would make it way more fun.

I Spy Funhouse
For the DS
A sequel to the ever-popular book and sometimes video game series where the world is made just so you can have lots of fun finding random stuff.
I had previously thought the video game part of this series was lost in the ever-shifting sands of VGWorld, but I guess not. I think this will be a lot of fun to do, and a welcome relief from the ‘Kill the boss, win’ kind of mindset. I enjoyed these sort of things as a child.
