The big release this week: STALKER. After all the waiting and hype we get to see exactly if it was all worth it.

Earth Defense Force 2017
The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Armored Core4 360

Will pick up.

Ugly Prince Duckling FTW! ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG! I've been waiting for this game!

isn't it Virtua? not virtual?

To all those RPG lovers with PS3s out there...do yourself a favor and pickup Oblivion. It really is worth your time and money. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: this comment made by a 360 owner.

Wow - impressive week.

-AC4
-EDF2017
-Shivering Isles

and finally, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - The fist PC game I'm buying after a year long drought. And the wait for the game, itself, was almost as bad as Half-Life 2.

Wow! Lots of stuff!

Earth Defense Force looked pretty cool on Gamespot's preview
I've only played the original Armored Core but thought it was awesome - might want to check that out on 360
TMNT might be fun?
What are Marble Mania and Wing Island?
Wonder if my girlfriend would like Theme Park DS for her birthday...

Damn! Big week!

STALKER

STALKER
Silent Hunter 4
EDF 2017
Cooking Mama
Shivering Isles expansion pack

All possibilities

was planning on getting TMNT for 360, but then I read the box and it says "This game is not xbox live compatible"

SSSSSSTALKER!

hardcore tranny anal porn on the Wii!!!
ZOMG! ZOMG!
I've been waiting for this!!!

Will definitely be picking this up!

@sheppy: ??

Your ?comedy? confuses me.

Developers have gotten lazy. The release a cheap ass game like the new TMNT. It could have been way way better. You guys remember TMNT Tournament Fighters on SNES? That was a great fighter. A remake of that game would have made my year.

It pisses me off when designer/developers don't use thier heads.

Shivering Isles and Earth Defense Force looks pretty cool. Something I can trade that Def Jam Icon for while the value is still up there. Has anyone heard anything about the TMNT game?

@Flit. It's not my comedy. Some tragic individual (possibly many) have decided it's a gas to post under my name.

I'll be watching the reviews of that Marble Mania game for the Wii. It could be what Monkey Ball should have been.

VT3 on X360.

PS3 Fanboys, enjoy your VT3 online play. oh that's right there is NO online play for the PS3 version. ha-ha.

Yes it is Virtua, not Virtual.
Also TMNT: The Tournament Fighters was a terrible game, I really regret buying that one.

Shining force exa...

I really wish that Joystiq would make it so that the passwords would actually limit who can post using my name. This is becoming very tedious.

For its time it was a great fighter that displayed the "kickassnes" of the TMNT. Even if they made a TMNT game that had the combat system of MK and the visuals of Gears would be awesome. Im sick of these pussyass TMNT bring back the comics.

Why can't oblivion just leave me alone... My soul... Gone.....

The big new this week is Stalker, yet the artical is headed up with the image of a brainless movie cash-in.

k.

EUFA exclusive to PSP and PS2, is it? Someone was copying and pasting...

STALKER? Why not PANICS? LOL

I'm pissed no one on my friends list plays FEAR. It makes for some awesome multiplayer.

Anyway...I'm glad it will be a few weeks before a decent game comes out. I have a lot to catch up on. If I could stop playing Halo 2 for a minute, I might get some other gaming done!

We need those RPGs, and soon. I'm sorry...but Oblivion doesn't count.

Oh, and getting it wrong ;-)

A lot of stuff coming out this week on all systems. Looks like I'll be picking up The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. Gotta lay the smack down on shop owners. :D

Custom Robo Arena

Wow, Godfather was a real stinker. TMNT is actually really fun, even though there is no multiplayer. It has a real Prince of Persia gameplay feel to it. I got to play a bit of it and will pick that up along with Earth Defense Force, AC4 and Virtua Tennis. Oblivion expansion is going to have to wait, I am so burnt out on that game and it has taken enough of my time. It's going to be a $pendy week..

Theme Park for DS? As in the Bullfrog's Theme Park? Man I love that game.

Sign me up for Theme Park DS and STALKER.

Isn't Shivering Isles supposed to come out next week?

I thought Shivering Isles was shipping next week?

Armored Core 4 or Oblivion? I can't decide! I LOVE the AC series and am eager to take my AC online, but at the same time, Oblviion is supposed to be the greatest game ever blah blah blah...What do you say Joystiq readers?

~

I haven't played any of the AC games but Oblivion is certainly a great game.

Tetris Evolution
Armored Core 4
Earth Defense Force 2017
After Burner: Black Falcon
Dragon Ball Z: Shin Badokai Another Road

AND SOTN his Wednesday

what a fucking week for gaming and it's not even christmas time

@33

I'd say trade your PS3 in for a 360. Seriously though, Oblivion is a much better game than AC4. It isn't even close. But if you aren't into the Oblivion sort of thing, get AC. I will be renting AC4 at the very most.

hooo dawgie Berkley's Bass Tournameny is gonna hit this week i can't wait!

Why is it that a "game drought" always seems to be followed by an ejaculation of new titles?

Its not like I'm gonna have trouble choosing, but still...could we spread it out a bit? I guess January and February were just the foreplay before March's explosive orgasm of gaming.

Theme Park
The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Earth Defense Force 2017
SOTN

eeek my wallet!

Great list of games for Wii and DS, even GC!!!

Wow.. a lot of excitement for a list that looks rather mundane to me. Some good games in there, but nothing that really 'wow's me.

@Vidikron

*sniff sniff* I smell console owner.

Anyone else notice that there are two Raphaels and two Leonardos in the picture? Reminds of those early TMNT games for NES where they all had red bandanas.

@42

I don't know what you think I'm posting on.... everyone has a PC these days, get with the times. Anyway, quite a few people have been posting about STALKER, but so far it has a Gamrrankings rating aroun 81%. Good but not great territory most of the time... again, hardly anything that 'wow's me. Last week saw God of War II... not THAT is a game to get excited about.

Cooking Mama is Hardcore? Since when? And since when is cooking virtual food cool?

Ah why is ubisoft shafting PS3 releases of their crappy ports, none the less I'm not even buying them.

I believe it was a little something called sarcasm, Longshotx.

oblivion will again take my life away

It wasn't sarcasm, doofus. In this case 'Hard Core' is referring to some one who obsesses over games, collects games and spends a large amount of time/money on games. When gamers meet, this version of Hard Core is normally what they are talking about.
You may be mistaking it for the version of hard core that means “games-with-high-violence-and-swearing-so-that-annoying-12-year-olds-think-it’s-the-aws0mez-l0Lz-rotflmaoz-!!1!1!11one1!!!”. I can see that you must normally use the second terminology.
