Maybe okay week..

There's some kind of White Knight Chronicles edition coming out for PS3. There is also maaaybe an Armored Core game coming for PSP but I cannot confirm it.

Also the new Tales of Monkey Island out for WiiWare.



There's a new STALKER game, called Call of Pripyat. So get that game if you enjoy the STALKER series.


ALSO on the PC front is Star Trek Online: often abbreviated as STO, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Cryptic Studios based on the popular Star Trek series created by Gene Roddenberry. The game is set in the 25th century, 30 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis.[3] Star Trek Online will become the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game within the Star Trek franchise, and will be released on February 2, 2010.[4]



Global Agenda is out as well. I do not know anything about it.



In other news, Yay for the 100th Week o Games thread! Woo! Triple Digits!


Thanks to 100 weeks o games, my thread-creation-history now looks like this:

Is anything good coming out for the Digital distro services?


Or is everyone still just playing Tat v Cap, NMH2, and Mass Effect2?

    White Knight Chronicles: International Edition just translates into "White Knight Chronicles: Now for Non-Japanese Regions!" It's the same game with all the stuff that's been patched into the Japanese version so far, on disk.

    And I am buying the hell out of it Wednesday, for the GeoRama mode.

    I'm buying White Knight this week...after waiting what seems like forever since the 2008 release in Japan.

    Back then I thought the game seemed really cool, now I'm just hoping it won't feel too dated.

    Is this Pirpyat thing a sequel ? I thought it was an expansion or something. What is it?

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the sequel of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, a first-person shooter computer game by Ukrainian developer GSC Game World. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the third game in the survival FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

    It's the first paragraph on wikipedia. Amazing research chief.

    I'm just amused that Monkey Island Episode 5, that was released in the US on PC in December is headlining the thread over Star Trek Online or STALKER. :P

    I've been somewhat out of the loop with gaming news lately. And, honestly, the gaming news sites and blogs haven't been shedding much attention on STALKER or STO.


    PC games don't get a lot of coverage these days.

    Yeah. S'far as I can tell, it's a full-fledged localization.

    Hmm. White Knight for me via Gamefly.

    I'll wait about 8 months for the bugs to clear out of STALKER, and I can't do an MMO right now going to school full-time.

    Chime has a 77 on Metacritic and videos I've seen of it make it look pretty interesting. Seeing as it's only 400 points, I think I'm gonna check it out. Anyone else getting it?
