Good Week, if you like Racing games that is.

Blur is out for all the next gen platforms, including being the only PC title of note this week.

Modnation Racers is also out for both playstation platforms, brought to you by the people who made Little big planet, with the same emphasis on creating and sharing user generated content.

And if you really squint, with yoshi I guess there might be some racing in Super Mario Galaxy? Still probably the game of the week anyway.

Also, for fans of MMA, UFC Undisputed 2010 is coming out, and according to metacritic is supposedly a bit better of a game than 2009.

Also, Hexyx Force looks like the kind of Niche japanese import that I'm sure that someone here would be completely obsessed with, but alas, I have never heard of it before.

And apparently Majestico is releasing a tetris game for the Wii and DS



I don't know about anyone else, but I'm saving my money for next week, with titles such as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Alpha ProtocolWhich will already be out in Europe grumble grumble

Blur (360)
Modnation Racers (PS3)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

nice week of games. much less than i got last week. thankfully the slowdown begins the week after next.

RainbowDespair

Pretty nice week all around. Hexyz Force is at the top of my list (looks like a very good RPG), followed by Mario Galaxy.

Brainiac 8

Super Mario Galaxy 2 should be here from Amazon tomorrow and I took half the day off so I could play it.

Woo!

Just a quick correction. Modnation is a different dev than LBP. They are similar styles, but different dev groups.

and Peace Walker releases week after next.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't really paying that much attention, and was mislead by the whole create play share thing

And yeah, it's 2 weeks for peace walker, Gamestop cut off title, making me not realize that it was just the guide next tuesday.

Unco-ordinated

Don't worry Spoit, when I open my awesome Alpha Protocol case in a couple of days and load the game up, I'll spare a couple of seconds to think of you. :P

So yeah, only game I'm getting this week is Alpha Protocol and I'm super excited. Only problem is I'm absurdly busy for the next week or so, so by the time I actually finish it, it may already even be out in the US...

Any news if the new Tetris game is as good as the one already out for DS?

It's not Nintendo character specific like that one right?

Nope. The Wii title is actually a port of the Wiiware game with a bunch of added features, and I would assume that the DS game is a port of that.
