Straight to the front!

NEW GAMES

Mario Galaxy
For the Wii, 1-2 Players
Wow. This is wowness. This is like November's Holy Grail to Wii gamers, and you know why?
Because it ROCKS. It looks good, it's been worked on for a long time, there's a lot of hype.... Yep. It should be awesome. I'm definitely getting it. Due Nov. 12th.

Star Trek: Conquest
For the Wii, probably 1 player
Well well, the old crusty series gets to be relived again in a game. First off, let me say that I don't have high hopes for this. Instead of being a cool, 'Wiimote=phaser' thing, it's a turn-based weirdish thing. I dunno. Time will tell. Also, I don't think many people will get it at the start, due to the game above. Due Nov. 13th

Bleach: Shattered Blade
For the Wii, 1-2 players
Another awesome OR crash and burn game. One of the things that could make it awesome would be very comprehensive Wiimote usage, and if that failed it could make it sucky. I like the series, but knowing it, if you don't follow it too closely you'll be way left behind. I'd say that if you like the series, get it, if not, don't. Due Oct. 9th - Tomorrow!

Half Life: Orange Box
For the XBOX 360
I had to put this in here because it is popular!
On Oct. 10, a package of Half Life, HL 2: 1 & 2, As well as Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Not a whole lot to say 'cuz I don't play this kind of game, but it looks pretty cool.

FIFA Soccer 08
For the Wii and everything else, 1-4 players (2 online)
I dunno. I'm not a big fan of sports games and ESPECIALLY not of games that come out for every system the producers can get their greedy little hands on. *sigh*... that's life. Due Oct. 9th

OUT NOW

Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast
For the Wii, 1-4 Players
This looks like a good game, but I feel it's caught up in this maelstrom of 'get-all-games-out-so-christmas-shoppers-can-get-em' games. Too bad. Oh well... if only there was another holiday like Christmas... it would break up the game distribution, not to mention the extra presents! (Nintendo, you listening?) Ah... the dreams of a gamer. Out yesterday.


Not terribly long, but I do have some stuff to say. Happy 9th Episode, everyone! Starting with the 10th and continuing, I will have a different banner for each one. Keep your eyes peeled!
