this week in gaming!
this post marks a new beginning. from this blog on, my posts will be more friendly and less direct. the news will all still be there but i will be making more remarks and flaunting my opinions much more than previous posts.
games for all consoles
nascar08
hold x, left analog stick slightly to the left. repeat. the end.
madden 08
so madden 08 came out. with unusually lower scores than the last few years, i am not tempted to play it. at all. i may try it at a friends house or in a year when madden 09 makes it’s debut, but until then, i doubt i’ll touch the thing. it is the last game made for xbox and gamecube, so it’s somewhat of a milestone.
psp games
dungeon and dragons tactics
the game looks…bad. i suppose if you’re infatuated with the d&d franchise the game could possibly be intriguing. it’s a turn based strategy game with mediocre graphics and a silly storyline. but it does follow the dungeon and dragons 3.5 rule set to a strict precision. ooooh. what the fuck does that mean?
ps2 games
shin megami tensei: persona 3
the ps2 is at the end of it’s strong and vibrant life. it’s produced a number of exclusive hit titles. this is one of the last to bless the console before it dies later next year. the game is simply a gem. the third in the amazing persona trilogy it looks as though it will be the best in the series. a fun storyline with promising gameplay and amazing potential, it looks to be another hit from atlus.
fatal fury battle archives vol. 1
it’s fatal fury. again. but this time more of it. excited? me neither. i hate fatal fury.
wii games
boogie
boogie? a strange dance/singing game for the wii starring a cell shaded orange anemone shaped creature. well, although that premise is astounding i just don’t see the game being any good.
ds games
luminous arc
although atlus is putting the game out, it looks weak. it has a neat premise but it still seems lackluster. it has a less than stellar plot line and, unfortunately, just another tactics game.
rune factory: a fantasy harvest moon
described as harvest moon…with a sword. BITCHIN’! basically, if you love harvest moon, go for it.
notice anything? ps3 had NONE.
NONE.
dream team films tintin
variety magazine has reported that directing legends peter jackson [the lord of the rings: trilogy, king kong] and steven spielberg [jaws, hook] have teamed to create a trilogy of tintin movies. the curious journalist and his little white dog have been a goal of spielberg for 25 years. no casting or production news has been announced.
i’m doing this for you
house, the medical drama-comedy [or dramedy if you prefer modern day american colloquialism], will be reaching it’s third season finale in two weeks. if you don’t watch the show, you should. hugh laurie is amazing as the cynical reluctant protagonist, gregory house. whole seasons are available to rent at your local blockbuster!
midnight love
last night, at midnight, microsoft announced halo 3 will be released two months early. september 25th is the new date that will harbor the beauty that is halo 3.
killing nazis
the new magneto movie, the first of many planned x-men sequels, is making progress. david goyer [blade:trinity, the invisible] is on to direct the movie that plans to bring a back story the films favorite anti-hero. the script has been written by sheldon turner [the texas chainsaw massacre: the beginning, the longest yard] and has been confirmed as having young versions of professor xavier and erik lensherr, the master of magnetism.

what the fuck is hydravision?
for horror buffs, the survival horror game obscure is a rare and interesting title. the game focused on the ability to play as a number of main characters, all high school students that had different abilities. well our friends at dreamcatcher interactive, the publishers of painkiller, are allowing the french-based hydravision to produce a sequel that will appear nearly before the ps2′s graceful bowing out. it’s also rumored to making an appearance on the wii.
not much has been released but it is known that the game takes place two years after the original and the characters are now in college. look for it sometime this fall.
