NEW RELEASES – August 2010

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Get your virtual cash ready, August closes out the summer with a digital buffett of downloadable goodies. Meanwhile, there’s not much happening on the retail front, with only 3 games worth talking about (4 if you hail from the USofA and like Football) in the promising, ultraviolent Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, the epic Mobbed up open world sequel, Mafia II (That collector’s edition is mighty pretty!) and of course, Team Ninja’s much hyped return to Nintendo’s classic Metroid franchise, Metroid: Other M.

Stock up on Xbox Live Points cards and PSN gift cards while you can!

August 4th

- Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (Xbox Live Arcade)

August 10th

- Madden NFL 11
- Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (PSN Store)

August 17th

- Kane & Lynch 2: dog Days (multi)
- Ys Seven (PSP)

August 18th
- Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (Xbox Live Arcade)

August 31st
- Metroid Other M (Wii)

This is a wierd month, digital content being so prominent in the face of a sparse retail month. I’m all over Kane & Lynch 2, being one of five fans of the original. I’m sure Mafia II will be in my home as soon as it hits as well. What August releaseas are you most looking forward to? Or are you planning on clogging the internet tubes with downloads?

Gunbird 2 Coming to the PSP, Brain-Humping Lunacy in Tow

Friday, December 18th, 2009

gb2

Via Kotaku, news comes out that PM Studios is bringing Gunbird 2 to the PSP.  Now there hasn’t been much on Sony’s portable that I’ve found compelling enough to shell out the sheckels for, but this, my friends, makes it tempting.

Gunbird 2 is, essentially, the most bat-&#$%  insane shooter ever forged.  I became engrossed with it when it came to the Dreamcast and everyone I’ve forced to try it has also fallen under its spell.  It takes like nine minutes to complete, but features some of the most incoherent (read: awesome) storylines ever.  Pro-tip: match chibby flying-carpet straddler Hei Cob with anyone and strap in for an endless march of fat jokes.

Hot on the heels of Assassin’s Creed II comes the first iteration of the series for Sony’s powerhouse portable. Does Assassin’s Creed make the leap of faith into the palm of your hand? Or is this one portable knock off worth killing?

Does a $250 PSP Go Mean No PS3 Price Cut This Year?

Friday, June 12th, 2009

press-sony-psp-go-1Of all the ripples, rumors, and outright leaks swirling around Sony’s showing at E3, the announcement everyone was hoping for didn’t happen. For the umpteenth time in as many opportunities, Sony’s talked about the PS3 without using those two magic words: price cut. Ever since Microsoft dropped prices on the three versions of the Xbox 360 almost a year ago (bringing their hard drive-less Arcade unit to the magic $199 price point), cash-strapped gamers have held their breaths in anticipation that Sony would follow suit. So far, no luck. At twice the price of Microsoft’s entry-level unit, the $399 PS3 consistently brings up the rear in monthly hardware sales (Nintendo’s Wii, meanwhile, sells its normal bajillion units). With a solid stable of great games in 2009, it seems like the only thing keeping gamers from adding Sony’s black box to their sagging entertainment centers is that they just can’t afford it.

For a while now, the rumor has been that a slimmed-down version of the PS3 will hit stores this summer, accompanied by a price drop of anywhere from $50 to $100. But with E3 come and gone, and Sony staying steadfast in its position that the feature-rich PS3 remains a value proposition at the current price, is it all just wishful thinking?

Considering the $250 price point for the new PSP Go, it might be.
