I guess this is what the calm after the holiday shopping season storm looks like.

    Someone piggybacking off Ubisoft's "Imagine:" series?

    This actually has to be the lowest point the gaming industry has ever known, surely.

    Some good games came out on XNA Community Games last week so at least there's that to help people get through this drought. Hexothermic is one of the funnest and most original puzzle games I've ever played & GraphSpacer & Cave-In are both fun as well.

    I believe Lumines Supernova is due on Tuesday on the PSN store.

    Other than that, yeah, kind of an empty week.

    Oversaturation of bad games, and a ton of "me too" games? Surely it is. Doesn't make it better that the casual gamers don't research what they're getting.

    It looks like both my sister and my parents are getting a Wii this year. I will do everything within my power to check every single game they buy for quality and entertainment.

    Puzzle Arcade came out this week on XBOX Live, and it seems really good. I'm not 100% sold on the idea of working large puzzles on a screen, but it's very full-featured (many puzzles, weekly free puzzles, camera support, multiplayer, save during a puzzle). This could be pretty cool.

    ATTENTION:


    I won't be doing a Week O Games for this upcoming week of 12/28 - 1/3!




    The reason is no consoles are getting any releases except the Wii but I think it's both wiiware titles!:

    Those two titles are:

    LIT
    Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity



    I'm showing nothing else for the full next week on any system. The only stuff that may come out is digital distro stuff like XBLA/WW/PSN. And I think those two I listed are Wiiware, maybe.

    I always buy the most games in the week after Christmas. I will likely get Gears of War 2, Prince of Persia, Okami, and No More Heroes this week, because I didn't get them for Christmas.

    And the backlog grows....

    I could just retitle this thread or something.


    It's just pointless to do this past week's Week and this coming week when neither week has anything. And I usually don't know the digital distro games until the day of or just before release. So I'd literally have an OP of .... nothing.


    :P

    This week in WiiWare/VC:


    WiiWare

    Maboshi's Arcade™ (Nintendo, 1-3 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Featuring three distinct modes and simultaneous play across three game windows, the constantly changing environment of Maboshi's Arcade creates an atmosphere unlike any other. Each of the modes is based on one of three familiar shapes (circle, stick and square) and offers the same goal: score a million points. Use the intuitive controls to bash enemies in Circle mode, weave your way through Stick mode or burn a path around obstacles in Square mode-all while dealing with power-up items and keeping watch on which effects the other game windows may have on your own. Also featuring Mii™ characters, action replays that you can send to your Wii™ Friends via WiiConnect24™, and the ability to download a version to a Nintendo DS™, you may never want to leave this arcade.

    Cue Sports – Pool Revolution (Hudson Entertainment, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Grab your Wii Remote™ controller and take a shot at this virtual billiard game. Enjoy match-ups, playing classic favorites such as 9 Ball, 8 Ball, Rotation and Snooker, as well as walk-through trick shots in Puzzle mode. Connect to Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection (Nintendo WFC) to go head-to-head with your friends, or even hustle opponents across the world in Nintendo WFC match-ups. This game offers two types of controls, allowing you to virtually strike the cue ball with your Wii Remote controller or use the buttons to adjust the strength of your shot and then strike. Hone your skills in Practice mode, learning all the cool techniques you need to be a true hustler. Use the edit feature to create your own challenge and nail the trick shot you've always dreamed of sinking. Pull off an amazing shot and show everyone who's the biggest shark in the pool.

    Virtual Console

    Zoda's Revenge™: StarTropics II™ (NES™, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points): Take on the role of Mike Jones, intrepid hero of the StarTropics universe, and once again battle the evil alien Zoda to control the fate of the Argonian people. In this journey, the island hopping of Mike's original adventure gives way to traveling through time and visiting locations around the world. And you never know what famous historical figures may appear along the way, giving Mike helpful advice or useful items. Luckily, Mike also has a wider range of weapons and improved play control on his side, so he may yet stand a chance against Zoda. Can you help Mike stand the test of time and save the world again?














    BTW, MaBoShi got incredibly good reviews from everyone. So there's that...
