Fable 2 and Fallout 3 in a couple weeks was bad enough.

Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
Well that's my week settled!
Nice, didn't know Mega Man 9 and Wipeout HD were this week. I'll wait for reviews on LEGO Batman. If they actually, you know, changed something this time around, I might pick it up.
Also: GREAT CAVE OFFENSIVE AND META KNIGHT'S REVENGE FOR THE EPIC.
I loved Brothers in Arms 1, but, I hate to admit it, I too have reached that point where I'm done with WWII games. I don't care how high of reviews this and the new Call of Duty get, I just can't do it again.
I guess Skake it is a given but does anyone know how long the Lego batman will be?
Ultra is .. a reimagining of the original, sure, but it also has a bunch of new stuff, supposedly.
Also, the snes original had a variety of multiplayer modes in its games. I don't think single card multiboot NDS multiplayer is out of the question; in fact, I expect it.
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
I was wondering that too. I'm going to assume that it's probably just Onimusha 1 and 2. And maybe 3. Because it's only $30, and Dawn of Dreams is $20 by itself, and the first three games are like $15 or less.
I can't find any info on this compilation pack. But I'd bet Onimusha 1 and 2 with a small chance of 3, but no chance of 4 (dawn of dreams) being included.
I know, it's a travesty. Civ Revolution got more hype than this.
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
I might end up picking it up for DS, though. But Disgaea? And Rhapsody? Oh man. Come on.
Edit: Shit AND MEGA MAN 9...AND DN3D?
Dammit my wallet.
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
I came in thinking... oh what's coming up before the holiday season bonanza...
This is one fucking week... I could spend nearly a hundred easily just on DS games.
assholes.
Time Hollow on the DS...that's from the same makers of Shadow of Destiny on the PS2. o_O
Oops, I'm sorry, no, Lego Batman IS coming out for everything, including the 360. Ships 9/23. I got tangled up doing the OP and somehow accidentally deleted the 360 entry for Lego Batman. It's definitely coming out this week for 360.
Know anything about Rhapsody? it could be a sleeper hit.
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
This week is crazy.
No, I mean I want to get it. I'm saying come on because they're throwing so many good games at me at once.
also sweet re: batman
If I had a DS, you would have just sold me on a game I'd never heard of.
Oh, okay. I just wanted to clarify because I don't want someone to accidentally be disappointed about a game they thought wasn't coming out for a system when it actually is because of an accidental typo on my part :P
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
Hold on.
I'm showing the dev for Time Hollow as Tenky, and the dev for Shadow of Destiny on PS2 as KCE (konami computer entertainment) Tokyo.
Unless it's the same guys but a different team name.
Anyway, Time Hollow's story was written by the same guy who wrote the story for Suikoden IV, just fyi

Oh shit, you're right.
Well I guess everyone wanting the 360 vsn will have to just go and buy Duke Nukem 3D then. And then also next week buy Mega Man 9!

And Rhapsody was originally a strategy RPG for the PS1 published by Atlus, and was technically the first NIS game released in the US.
It's now pretty sought after, and had some hilarious/awesomely dubbed songs.
The remake has all new art, but on the downside, no dubbed songs, and it's no longer an SRPG; it's a traditional RPG now.
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
Will probably get Kirby SSU. SSS was one of my favorite SNES games.
I will be getting kirby DS this week, because I have a coupon for it.
Beyond that, I'll be picking up Stalker and Crysis from last week, as they're both on sale this week.
Very bad, considering SIV is the absolute worst in the series. Story included.

Wow, I'm impressed. But I definitely didn't expect Dawn of Dreams to be included :P
Still, $30 for the trilogy is not bad at all. Especially for Demon Siege, which is a fantastic PS2 game.
