Mediocre week, I guess, unless you're a ghostbusters fan!


All platforms (except PSP) get Ghostbusters this week. The HD systems get a more realistic looking Ghostbusters while the Wii/PS2/DS get a more cartoony iteration. Sounds good either way!

The consoles all get Guitar Hero Smash Hits as well, the full-band master-track compilations of "favorites" of past guitar hero games.

PC gets the new America's Army game. It's free! And usually this series is pretty good.


WiiWare is getting Eduardo the Samurai Toasterthis week, supposedly. The game looks like it could be a lot of fun, kind of like the Castle Crashers of the Wii.

    Forget Ghostbusters, a lot of us have been waiting for the XBLA Magic game and it's finally coming out. Online Magic play without having to spend a hundred bucks on cards ala MTG:O, woohoo!

    Or $100 on cards period. I think i'd be more interested in a yu-gi-oh online game, because I had a bad experience with Magic.

    You should know that you can only use prebuilt decks in the game. If I recall correctly, they start out at 40 cards each, and you "unlock" additional cards, but each deck has preselected cards that you unlock, and they're simply added to the deck, with no trading cards in or out. That said, it still sounds fun, and with prebuilt decks, it better be balanced as hell. It'll also be good for getting new people into the game, and the puzzle mode looks pretty good. It reminds me of the monthly puzzle they had in InQuest magazine.

    I hope "Hurry Up Hedgehog!" has sonic speed and blast rendering!

    Aw shit America's Army 3?

    May not be the best games ever, but they can be some online fun and the price is right.

    Metal Gear Solid hits the PSN as a PSOne Classic this Thursday.
    Additionally, the company will release the game that started it all - Metal Gear Solid - on the PlayStation Network on June 18th, 2009 for the SRP of $9.99.

    And man. That Magic game would be so tempting, even with the way it's structured. But I don't have a 360. Oh well. :(

    and according to Gamestop's website: Flower, Sun, and Rain for the DS is coming out this week too.

    I cant wait to get that one myself. Curious to see what a Suda 51 game on the DS will be like.
