OH NOZ! A SUMMER-BLOCKBUSTER LICENSED GAME!
/meh
sheppy @ May 14th 2007 12:02PM
I thought I read somewhere that Rampage is hitting PSN this week. Also, I hate blowing a budget when Innocent Life finally came out.
umm....hello??? @ May 14th 2007 12:03PM
...nothing to see here. these are not the games you want. move along.
Rocky IV Robot @ May 14th 2007 12:03PM
THIRD!
Jack of No Trades @ May 14th 2007 12:04PM
Game of the Year!!!!!
Fernando Rocker @ May 14th 2007 12:07PM
Better than PS Home
Daniel @ May 14th 2007 12:09PM
Hopefully RE4 PC's lighting is fixed in the American release.
Konny @ May 14th 2007 12:09PM
Chaching! .. Another shit movie tie game is going to rack up the sales.
Lots of big blockbusters coming out this summer = lots of shit movie tie in games.
Jack of No Trades @ May 14th 2007 12:09PM
Nothing is better than PS Home.
Fernando Rocker @ May 14th 2007 12:11PM
Everything is better than PS Home.
sheppy @ May 14th 2007 12:23PM
Before this gets out of hand, Fernando, Jack, both STFUY!
Home is not on this list, home was never mentioned, let's keep the pointless home bashing in the Home thread, shall we? And let's keep the pointless home praising and defense in the home thread, shall we?
Jeebus P Krispy, you prats get more annoying daily.
C. Grant @ May 14th 2007 12:24PM
Thanks, sheppy! :)
Game Artist @ May 14th 2007 12:27PM
The demo of this game was truely aweful.
Fernando Rocker @ May 14th 2007 12:29PM
@sheppy
Im going to tell my mom that you are mad with me :(
Kite @ May 14th 2007 12:32PM
I give sheppy one internets, even if I am not allowed to :p.
And I guess I won't be buying a game this week. My last sale was horrid, so now I'm actually afraid to get a 'new' one so soon. Bah, buyers remorse sucks.
And yes, I am that ashamed that I am not going to tell the title of the game :p
Jack of No Trades @ May 14th 2007 12:43PM
sheppy
I don't know what is more annoying.
Me praising PS home or your bitching...lol
sheppy @ May 14th 2007 12:44PM
@Kite
Normally I would take an internets but I'm afraid it already belongs to someone else. And I have no desire to be publicly villianized in An Inconvenient Truth 2: Electric Boogaloo. He's really cereal this time.
And I know what game you bought. Narrowly avoided the bullet on that one myself. It just wasn't in the budget after I put in my order at RedOctane for four more X-Plorer controllers for 360...
sheppy @ May 14th 2007 12:45PM
Jack, Fernando... wanna hype/bash Home? Go here..

"I don't know what is more annoying.

That's an easy one, Jack. It's-a you. :P
@sheppy:
Haha, yes. Al Gore is completely serial.
kingofwale @ May 14th 2007 1:13PM
a game that will suck MORE than Spidy3.
and that's not easy to do.
umm....hello??? @ May 14th 2007 1:16PM
and just so you know, ps Home isn't even a game, morons.
megaStryke @ May 14th 2007 1:16PM
"Finite String of Question Marks" is finally hitting the PSN! Hot damn! I've been waiting for that sonuvabitch since forever!
Charron @ May 14th 2007 1:23PM
@21
Yea, I'm just worried about its replay value. I'm more looking forward to the inevitable sequel, Infinite String of Question Marks. Though I hear they're going the Pokemon route- Countable Version and Uncountable Version.
In other news, I'm such a dork.
KilgoreTrout XL @ May 14th 2007 1:31PM
RE 4 is a surprise to me- I'd love to try that on a nicely-equipped gaming rig.
samfish @ May 14th 2007 1:48PM
I have absolutely no confidence that Shrek the Third will be either a good game OR a good movie.
Although I have even less hope for Fantastic Four 2.
sheppy @ May 14th 2007 2:10PM
Fantastic 4 lost all confidence from me the moment Doom became a pretty boy and Sue Richards was announced as Jessica Alba. Now don't get me wrong, Jessica Alba is a fine piece of ass, but the bitch is soo bad at acting, she can't even fake an orgasm. I mean, seriously... you SAW her in Sin City, right? The moment your acting skills are shown up by "generic whore who sells out the girls" is the moment it's time to just pack it in.
Patrick @ May 14th 2007 2:40PM
shrek the third is a blockbuster? i enjoyed the first one, didnt really see a need for a sequel, its just a cash in for a proven property.
sheppy @ May 14th 2007 2:47PM
"shrek the third is a blockbuster? i enjoyed the first one, didnt really see a need for a sequel, its just a cash in for a proven property."
I think the problem with the second one is it borrow too heavily from popular culture for majority of it's jokes and parodies. So not only was it a halfassed sequel but majority of it's humor has a finite line of relevance. Third looks to be doing that even worse.
Remember kids, nothing dates your efforts like pop culture parodies. And this is the biggest difference between Mel Brooks and Wayan Brothers.
SymetriX @ May 14th 2007 2:57PM
Hmmm these games look pretty interest--hey, what the heck?!
"DS - Touch the dead"
Since when did necrophilia become a genre?
severian00 @ May 14th 2007 2:54PM
I'm going to gamefly Shrek to play with my 2 yr old. Oh and the 1000 gamerscore, FTW!
Ken @ May 14th 2007 3:03PM
Etrian Odyssey
That's a purchase for me.
And what's touch the dead? I might pick it up for the Zombie reference.
Aberu @ May 14th 2007 3:15PM
Omg best game evarz. I feel for you joystiq, it's a pretty lame week in game releases, and there was nothing else you could do. This is the one time I believe you.
Rocky IV Robot @ May 14th 2007 3:41PM
Thirty "Shrek the" Third!
Shrek the Third the game will be better than both Gears of War and God of War 1 and 2. Game of the year I predict.
Mr Khan @ May 14th 2007 4:10PM
Wow, pretty bleak outside of Touch the Dead (btw, wasn't the name changed to Dead N' Furious?), the Harvest Moon PSP title, and some awesome console to PC rehashes
wackychan @ May 14th 2007 4:49PM
Nintendo should put Mario in their version. That always raises the ratings.
BPM @ May 14th 2007 8:30PM
Dead 'n' Furious is the EU title, Touch the Dead is the NA title.
Don't know why...
Tim @ May 15th 2007 11:26AM
You didn't like Shrek 2 sheppy? Sheesh, you're being way too critical. There's plenty of movies with now-outdated pop references, that's what makes it a classic to some people.
Now a third one, yeah, that's going onto shaky ground. But don't be so critical about movies, otherwise you'll never enjoy them.
