Another week, another 7 days of new game releases!

Welcome to the 36 edition of G&T's newly traditional "Weekly Games Release Thread!" - Week 10/19 - 10/25!

Where we discuss what we're looking forward to, what we're going to buy, and what we're just now realizing is being released this week that we had forgotten about!



NDS

Spoiler:




PC

Spoiler:




PS2

Spoiler:




PS3
Spoiler:




PSP
Spoiler:




Wii
Spoiler:




Xbox 360

Spoiler:






Wiiware/vc:

Spoiler:


XBLA

Spoiler:



PSN
Spoiler:






So what's everyone getting this week?



Far Cry 2 finally arrives on PC, PS3, and 360, woo!

the NDS gets Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, fuckyeah!

Fable 2 for the 360, will molyneaux's sequel live up to its potential?

Wii Music comes out - will it be a complete turd and fairly worthless? Yes.

Spiderman Web of Shadows comes out too -- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out the NINTENDO DS version - it's like Spiderman meets Bionic Commando meets Super Metroid meets awesome combat! Plus a forumer around here worked on it. SUPPORT HIM AND HIS GOOD WORK.

The PSP gets another RPG from S-E --- a remake of Star Ocean. Should be decent.

also of note, the PC gets DEAD SPACE

and the PS3 gets Rock Band 2, Bioshock, and Eternal Sonata.

Also my sources tell me that Portal: Still Alive comes out for XBLA - Should be good.

also Tetris Party for Wiiware ought to be quite fun.

Good question. It'd be nice to see how well it runs on my PC before buying it.

Sweet loving Chrst.

Already have my RB2/Bioshock fix taken care of, hopefully Web of Shadows won't suck.

I'm seeing a ton of games I'd buy any other time of the year, but with so much in so little time, I'm only able to get Dead Space, Fallout 3, and maybe one other game later on.

They really need to learn to space these things out throughout the year. Sorry, Fable 2 and Far Cry 2 and Castlevania DS 3. I would buy you...

What, really? Bully is only now coming to PC?

Christ... I had almost forgotten about that game. But I do remember the, "Has Rockstar gone soft on us?!"

Oh, how little we knew then...

C'mon.. you gotta show Castlevania some love.. It's going to be the best one ever! You can't pass it up! It'll only be $29.99! That's like half the price of a 360 game.

You know you want it.

That sucks. I guess I'll wait and see what people say about performance on the PC.

Goddamn Shows you the glut of awesome games coming out when I wasn't even aware that Castlevania and FarCry 2 were coming out this week. So let's see, that's

Fables 2
Spiderman(really interested in both the 360 and ds version)
FarCry 2 ( who knows, maybe the 360 version will suck, making my decisions eiser)
Castlevania
Midnight Club 3

Then next week we have FallOut 3 and Guitar Hero. And we're not even into December.


Man, you gotta have two jobs to get all these games. But then you don't have time to play them.

I went to Nintendo's website to find out when we're getting Wii Music in Europe and apparently we're getting Disaster: Day of Crisis on 24/10/2008, which is this week. I had no idea that was so close to release.

This is the biggest week of the year for me.

I have to get Castlevania, as I'm a huge fan. I've also pre-ordered Fable 2. I really hope Web of Shadows is good, as I'm dying for a new Spider-Man game, so I might have to get that, reviews pending. Also, Dead Space is out in Europe. Additionally, I hope to GOD ABOVE that Secret of Mana and Mario Golf will arrive on EU VC, though we'll probably get some shitty Wiiware instead.

And Fallout 3 is next week. This is expensive

We should be getting Tetris Party.


Which is actually going to be absolutely awesome, according to hands-on previews.

Oh god, now is finally the time to decide between web of shadows and fallout 3.(Which one first anyway.)

I'm scared.

But will Europe also be getting Tetris Party? If we do, I'll probably buy it.

Tetris Party is the biggest thing coming out this week.

You should find some way to acquire that money. Castlevania needs some buying by some humans this week.
