Looks like a good 2D fighting week.

BlazBlue comes out for PS3 and 360. Limited editions available!



Otherwise, PC gets a GTA Trilogy.

PSP gets a new Atlus game, some kind of Steambot Chronicles game.

Call of Juarez for the HD systems/pc.

New Megaman Starforce for NDS.



I guess that's it.

    Is the GTA trilogy gonna be put on steam and such? I never played any GTA games besides GTA IV, and that was ok, but I really enjoyed Saint's Row 2 and heard it was similar to the older GTA games. I kind of wanna try them out and getting all three for $30 sounds like a nice deal to me.

    What's the word on these latest Potter games? Some of the earlier ones were okay. Also, Call of Juarez could be awesome. We'll see, I guess.

    July 1st is the US date for SFIV PC also, last I was aware.


    And if that's the case, we need a PC game on thread.

    Will it support Steam?

    It'll be available on Steam, but it'll use Games For Windows Live for online functions.

    According to Wiki, the NA date is July 7, but I still thought I'd mention that it's out in Europe this week.

    Ok just did some research:

    http://www.capcom-unity.com/street_fighter/blog/2009/05/08/the_street_fighter_iv_pc__the_options
    Obviously, Street Fighter IV PC will be available at retail on a normal Games for Windows DVD at retail for $39.99 (shipping in the US on July 7th).


    also
    We’ve mentioned before Street Fighter IV PC will be available for digital sales at a variety of places (same price $39.99/€39.99). You’ll pretty much be able to take your pick of vendors if you want it digitally: Capcom.com’s estore, Steam, Impulse, Direct2Drive, Metaboli, Gametap, Nvidia.com, GamersGate and others to be named later.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    It's a game, and there are bots, and they run on steam.

    Look, at least it doesn't go by the Japanese title: Bumpy Trot.
    That right there sounds like a disease horses get.

    Blazblue looks fun, as I have always preferred 2-d fighters to the alternative, might give that a rent.

    Nothing for me to buy this week though, which is good for a broke bloke like me.

    So apparently Kof Maximum impact 3 comes out this week for the PS3?

    I didn't even know that there's a maximum impact 3.

    edit: actually I'm not really sure right now.

    Might be bullshit.

    Only 800 funbucks too! And this will tickle fighting-game fans already high on Garou—there's a possibility the second game this week is King of Fighters Ultimate Match 98.

    Oh, I'll be buying it and playing, don't worry! The original Armageddon saw me through pretty much my entire four years in college. I had heard a lot of people saying the original XBLA Worms was really feature-light, which is why I held off on buying it, but this seems to have a shit-ton of stuff from Armageddon (Super Sheep! Holy Hand Grenade! Ninja Roooooope!) and extras to boot, and it's still only $10, which is what the original went for at first (I think the original is now $5? I could be wrong.)

    The title makes more sense with it being a sequel for Worms for XBLA that also has stuff from WA.

    Crap, I think you're right, actually: I double-checked Team17's announcement and it's actually "Worms 2: Armageddon."
    Worms 2: Armageddon builds upon the fine heritage of the cult 1999 hit ‘Worms Armageddon’ by massively extending the feature set of the original, award-winning WORMS and including the majority of the cult WORMS ARMAGEDDON feature set as well as a raft of exciting new weapons and game content, modes and extensions (many of which featured in the highly rated ‘Open Warfare 2’ editions)

    Anybody know anything about this "Infernal: Hell's Vengeance" game that came out this week? The $40 price tag and the fact that I never heard of it make think it's going to be utter crap, but the premise sounds fun and the screenshots look good.

    It's a port of a two year old PC game called Infernal, so you can look up reviews for that as it's the same game. I played Infernal, it was okay, but mostly just a mediocre/average third-person shooter with some interesting powers.

    If the 360 version is a good port, 40 bucks is probably about the right price for it, though if you have a decent PC, I bet you could find that version for much cheaper.
