Not a bad week.
God of War 3 comes out this week. Will its $40+ million dollar budget pay off? My magic eight ball says all signs point to yes.
For NDS we have Infinite Space, the RPG for DS by PlatinumGames. A space armada exploration branching story arc style game. NDS also gets the two newest Pokemon games so yay for that.
PC gets a bunch of expansions/dlc, but also Metro 2033, which I haven't heard much about. Also Metro comes out on 360 as well.
PS3 and 360 get Resonance of Fate, a triAce RPG.
Wii gets an interesting game called Fragile Dreams. Not sure if it's an RPG or what but it's been out in Japan for forever. Might be one of these polarizing games.
Also, 360's XBLA should be getting Perfect Dark (N64), the upgraded port.

God of War most definitely.
I'll think about Infinite Space. I want to see some reviews.
I want to know more about Metro 2033, but I have enough post-apocalyptic shooters to last me until after the apocalypse.
Resonance of Fate looks nifty and the demo was fun, but I'm in the middle of FFXIII.
And Fragile Dreams is interesting, but I'll wait on reviews.
Thank god Strange Journey and 3D Dot Game Heroes are the final games I've preordered through June. I might be able to finish some of this before the fall rush hits.

I still need to find the money for Infinite Space.

That'll go in the GF queue. Maybe God of War 3 but I couldn't enjoy God of War 1 enough to even complete it. So I think it'd be a bad idea to go straight to 3.

(You should let us know how Metro is brynstar)
I will! I should be able to post some impressions tomorrow afternoon. It looks right up my alley, I hope it executes well on everything they've promised. Their engine seems darn impressive.
EDIT: This new trailer for it is great. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-struggle-metro-2033/63067

Can't wait for Perfect Dark. I always regret not getting it in the N64 era.

Hopefully it will be as good as I think it is. It's had like zero advertising though, kind of annoying.

The new Pokemon kicks ass, too.
Guess it gives me time to finish FFXIII.
Sold. I don't care how much trouble I'll get in... Sold.
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)

I know it was an 8.0 but I'd like to know what they liked and didn't like all the same
I mean, I'm buying it regardless but I'd like a little more clarity on what I'm getting into and it doesn't seem like any websites except "rpgFAN" are interested in reviewing it
It is handily washing away my FFXIII disappointment
Picking up Perfect Dark tomorrow as well, hopefully I find time to play it
Metro 2033 also looks pretty kickass
This is a great week

sleep forever if you wish to be a dreamer
Why's everyone calling it Fragile?
One day shipping would be... one day after they ship it, there's no particular guarantee on which day it'll ship on. Release day delivery means that they will ship it such that it arrives in your hands on the day of release for the product.
This week is kinda like a little break between FF13 and Strange Journey for me. I'll catch up with the stuff released here later.

Really though, the graphics are the most impressive thing here. They're gorgeous. It has a little animation hitch every now and then, but other than that, this is one of the finest looking games I've seen. Can't wait to see what the 360 version looks like, I've heard good things
It has the Stalker vibe for sure but it's a much more directed game. You have a compass you can look at which clearly tells you where to go, but you don't have to use it at all if you don't want to. It's still somewhat linear though. I'd liken it to Bioshock but with the vibe/setting of Stalker, or maybe a Starbreeze game. Yes, there's a guy chilling playing a guitar near a fire, and yes, I was handed a shotgun during a chase sequence. The voice acting is surprisingly competent, although it's mixed a little strangely.
So yeah, game is great so far, but the tech is the real standout here. Haven't seen anything "new" yet, but everything it does, it seems to do well.
I'll probably talk a little bit about the 360 version tomorrow. I'm surprised that these graphics haven't been more hyped up by the games media overall.
EDIT: Using the hand-pumped generator to power up the flashlight batteries is pretty darn cool.

The demo was awesome so I've really been looking forward to this game. And hey, at only $10, I could probably justify it to my wife despite picking up FF13 just recently.

RainbowDespair, I might have to check that out. Also, just noticed your sig, can't wait!
