On The Shelves This Week 10.12

Assuming you love games, hence your visit here, this is an absolutely incredible week for new releases – there really does seem to be a game for everyone, from Naughty Dog’s long awaited sequel to WayForward’s revisit of an NES classic.

And we haven’t even mentioned Brutal Legend or Magna Carta 2 yet. Some might say there’s just too much to play, but all good Rebels know we can never have too many games.

I’m gonna have to somehow get Uncharted 2, A Boy and his Blob tomorrow. Might have to settle for one of them though. And I still havn’t gotten Murumasa.

Magna Carta 2, anything must be better then the original Magna Carta!

Sort of makes me wish I had money to spare on the Fallout 3 Game of the year edition.

I really wanted to like Brutal Legend, but then I tried the demo.

Intro cutscene was great, but as soon as I was given control it felt like an early PS2 game. Combat was far too clunky and dull and the voice clips that went on outside of the cutscenes just sounded so out of place and it was like the actors weren’t even trying to act excited.

But overall, it’s a pretty awesome week.

@JHGD – I have the same problem, although I do want to get it for the story itself. I could manage to play through, just to get the full story.

But yeah the gameplay of the game is pretty weak

I also want to follow up comment and say that it’s so stupid that we don’t know what is coming out on the PSN until almost then entire day of Thursday is over.

PSPminis my butt. They’ve got a long way to go to even pace the success of Apple.
