slash000

Another week, another 7 days of new game releases!

Welcome to the 37 edition of G&T's newly traditional "Weekly Games Release Thread!" - Week 10/26 - 11/1!

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!

NOTICE: I don't have much spare time tonight so I'm making this thread quick'n'dirty and I'll be cleaning it up and fleshing it out tomorrow I think.

Chance

Y'know when you're a kid, and you have that dream where your parents give you all the awesome toys you've been wishing for? And when you wake up, you're all excited to play with your new mountain of toys - there's this wonderful moment before you realize 'oh, damn - it was just a dream.'

Having LBP is like that moment. But it ain't a dream. It's real.

Darlan

Man. There are a LOT of games that aren't Fallout 3 on that list. Gotta feel a little sorry for them.

Edit: Whoops, I don't mean to diss LBP, I thought it had came out last week.

oh man you edited that in just in time

fallout 3 wooooooooooo

UnbreakableVow

I know nothing about FO3.

I will wait on reviews.

As for the rest, psyched about GHWT's guitar, and possibly the game as well.

slash000

I have GHWT, and I think it's great. Especially the drumset and new guitar. The new guitar is the best fake guitar I've ever used. The drumset is freakin' awesome as well.

UnbreakableVow

Oh trust me, I know about the awesome guitar. I handled it, and I saw it was good.

The drumset I saw was broken, and I'm hearing terribly conflicting things about them.

I dunno what the conflict is all about, except for two things. One, the batteries that came with the things are apparently crap, so using good new batteries works better. Secondly, the demo units either probably were not hooked up well or used the funky batteries or both.

I have no idea. I have the Wii version and it communicates via the wii remotes anyway, so I have no issues, and the drumset itself is perfectly sensitive and the cymbals and drums work great.

Those are my three this week and I just picked up LBP on saturday

RainbowDespair

Special mention of My Sims Kingdom really needs to be made in the thread title or in the OP. The original My Sims was basically a vastly improved version of Animal Crossing. My wife & daughter both loved the game to death and they weren't the only ones since the game sold over a million copies. My wife has actually been counting down the days until My Sims Kindom's release and that's something she never does.

DarkPrimus

Penny Arcade Adventures On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness Episode 2 you will be mine.

AZChristopher

There are times when you can see that some game publishers have just way too much money... I think it will sale pretty well again.

I can't imagine any of those 4 taking less than a million to do that commercial. Well maybe Tony Hawk but that could be contractual.

Renzo

Fallout 3. That is all.

But since I'm literally 50% through with Far Cry 2, the lunchbox may have to sit unopened until I settle things with The Jackal.

Who am I kidding? I'll open it so I can use it to bring lunch to work tomorrow.

What? It was an awesome Lego-style furniture and house builder, which oozed charm from every pore, but it was no Animal Crossing by a loooooong way.

At least in my opinion.

Litany

Hold on, there's a pseudo-sequel to Jagged Alliance 2 coming out (Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge)? Has anyone heard anything about this game?

WTF, I was just about to post that there should be a law against any game not a JA sequel having Jagged in the title seeing that lots of people could die of heartache when their hopes are dashed.

I googled & found a demo. Waiting on the download now. I'm not sure I wanna try it though. You see, I tried the Shining sequels and I know where this leads if it's not done right...

lowlylowlycook

Those cruel bitches at 1up actually list a Jagged Alliance 2 DS. That should be a capital offence.

brynstar

I'm buying Fallout 3 this week, and I already picked up LBP. I'm still behind on last week's games, and I'm once again pretending that the rest of the titles this week don't yet exist.

This has been a fantastic October.

I'm really curious about GHWT as I'm predominantly a Rock Band player these days, but it'll have to wait till I can afford the bundle with those awesome new drums.

Peewi

I had no idea PA Ep2 and Red Alert 3 was coming out so soon.

urahonky

FO3 for me this week. That's about it. Any more money and my Santee won't be getting any gifts!

This has been out in Germany since March. I haven't played it, but everybody seems to hate it because it's a bugfest that doesn't get any patches and the dev didn't seem to get what made JA2 such a great game.

Reviewers gave it 50s-60s irc. Just a heads-up.

Arrath

Shit

I didn't even know RA3 was coming out this YEAR. My wallet is so screwed.

I'm just going by my wife & daughter's opinion since I'm not a fan of the genre. They used to be big fans of Animal Crossing until they played My Sims. Now, they're both dying for the new My Sims game to be released and have absolutely no interest in the upcoming Wii Animal Crossing.

frank as fuck

Ballhalla?

BALLHALLA? What is this? Some kind of viking basketball extravaganza?

I'm downloading it too. Hopefully it will work; I tried the Jazz: Hired Guns demo, which may more may not be this game's old name, and it never functioned.

edit: dangit it's the same file name. Let me know how fun it is.

That....that would be pretty cool, actually. Then again the last Viking game I played was Rune. So I'm imaging a mish mash of Rune mp with basketball.

Yeah well just go with that.

Imagine my disappointment when it's just a puzzler.

Arminas

Damn, nothing exciting on the DS for me this time around.

Though I've just started playing puzzlequest. Unfortunately, it's difficult for me to just save & stop to play it since I can't just quick-save a match. The last DS game I completed was Time Hollow which let me save nearly anytime/anywhere. Really convenient for my train rides at least.

I mean, that's why I haven't really finished FFIV for my DS. It's so involving and I can't get into it just on my commute.

Though, hoorah for Fallout 3 and OTRSPOD Episode 2! Which one to get??

B:L

Oh shit, Little redridinghoodzombiebbqplanet is this week?

Xenogears of Bore

Oh well, another week with no good PSP releases.

redfield85

While I am not buying it any time soon, I am wondering...when are they selling the drums separately for Guitar Hero World Tour?

Bad Ramen

Since they lowered the price of PAA:OTRSPOD :E1 to $15 on Greenhouse and Steam and it started as $15 on PSN, will it also or will it soon be $15 on Xbox Live?

SageinaRage

Damn, they dropped the price on PA EP1. I finally have to pick it up, now that I also have a computer I can play it on. And Fallout 3 will be arriving either tomorrow or thursday. I may end up skipping the halloween party on friday.

Arminas

My Halloween will be a post-nuclear one. Or one in Africa. I haven't decided yet.

Post-nuclear, trust me, its a lot more fun.

I'm trying to enjoy Far Cry 2, but...I just can't get into it. The dialogue between the characters is insteresting, but god, everything feels so far apart. And the vehicles are kind of jerky. Luckily, changing the FOV has fixed my nausea while playing it.

Someone mentioned to google a FOV hack, many thanks to them. I think it was sirot.

But man, I just wanna play FO3 I think.

Renzo

I'm switching off between the two. I play a mission or two in Far Cry, then I play Fallout till I can't play no more.
