New games this week: DiRT edition

WTF is up with the DS. 2 versions of Transformers? Are they pokemans now?

The DiRT demo was awesome, I'd buy it, but my Xbox 360 is in repair :( I think I'll check out the Dungeon Master on PSP as well. Oh! Sim City DS!! FTW!

What about Flatout: Ultimate Destruction...???
Is that not out on Friday???

From the UK BTW...

I thought Dirt was for PS3 too. Am I missing something?

yeah two transformers games are like how pokemon and you can play as good guy or bad guy and they are slightly different games. In console games you can pick but i guess card space made it easier to do 2 different versions.

I'm getting RE4 Wii Edition. I already owned it on cube, but those ada missions are calling me and new controls. I traded in Super Paper mario so Gamestop made this game free so thats great to me.

Is Brothers in Arms: War Stories any good? I remember the graphics were amazing for a DS game.

my transformers, let me show you them.

If anyone even bothered to do their homework they would see this game is for PS3 as well. It was mislabeled as PS2.

Screw the DiRT edition, it is the Band of Bugs edition this week!!!

what in the hell is the adventures of darwin?

What about Hour of Victory? That is also shipping this week for Xbox 360, according to the Circuit City advert, which also promises a $20 gift card if it's not in stores Tuesday at 2 P.M.

"what in the hell is the adventures of darwin?"

Supposedly it's a realtime strategy game from Japan. It went under the name Primitive Man over there.

Oh damn, what I am doing answering questions here? PS3 SUX! BLARG! BLARG! BLARG! There, now I feel like a fit in a bit better in this thread.

PS3 sux and unknown... should we not even mention that the Crappy Wii outsells the 360 as well and within the year will probably surpass it in total sales a brand new system with almost as few games as the PS3 and last gen graphics and yet its outselling the ONE system with over 200+ games? Isnt that just slightly more pathetic dont you think? a System that SHOULD be outselling competition based soley on the merit it has more to offer and its still only scrapping by...heck even the PS2 outsells the 360 and PS3 still

Or are the 360 and wii not in the same league now? and if thats the case why then compare it to the PS3 as well?

But then i guess fanboy logic defies reasonable logic.

actually, the PS3 version of DiRT got pushed back to august or september. they were having loads of problems with the cell. nice job sony...

@ PS3 SUX and the unkown avenger

the crappy wii(sarcasm) sells better dan the shit box 360 and piss station 3 combined dickwards

And is it just me or does the driver on the cover of Dirt remind you of a skinnier Dr. Giggles?

unknown and PS3sUX are just mad dat the ultra powerfull systems suck major donkey dick and the wii is whooping both their asses and will be the winning console of this.. wii FTW graphics means shit as u can see

DiRT is an absolutely fantastic game but we all know that it's going to flop horribly in the US. Perhaps if people opened their minds a little further than NASCAR (yes, there are circuits in the world with right turns) they might find that motorsport can be interesting.

DiRT is the best rally game ever.

@Neil
Your right, there are circuits in the world with right turns, and NASCAR is at one this coming Sunday. Infineon Raceway, look it up.

After reading killa's two posts, I have to again say what i've said in the past which is that our public schools are failing us. My punctuation might not be 100% correct all of the time but at least I spell "that" like "that" and not like "dat."

Oh boy.

Let's not get into this whole "Nascar versus Real Racing" debate because it's all BS. Truthfully, unless you're into whatever motorsport you're into, watching cars go on a track is BORING AS ALL SHIT. Like Baseball and Football. So if someone is into one of those things, don't jump their ass talking about how your version is better because your version is just as boring to them as their version is to you.

Ah, Sheppy, as eloquent as ever.

@The True Gamer

I try to use long words but then as I get into too many phenomes, my lips become confused and this leads to brain hurting. So then I get angry, punch a kitten in the story, and throw a homeless person in the moat I dug around my apartment (landlord is PISSED at that one). Then I feel better...

Doug Kaplan, don't expect much from someone named "killa." He obviously types like that to improve his "street cred." On a video game blog.

The True Gamer, that's why Sheppy's one of the best posters here.

I'm curious about the transformer tie-in games, since they recruited Frank Welker to reprise his role of Megatron in the video game (though not for the film). I'd like to see graphical and content comparisons on all the systems, though. Thus far I think they've only shown the 360/PS3 versions in the ads.

sheppy,

I don't quite see the Dr. in that art, but the fact that you reference Dr. Giggles in anything is awesome. teheheheheheheheh.

Neil,
Do you see any irony in your NASCAR comment? I mean, people like you always say "jeez, if you weren't so close-minded you would see that the version you like absolutely sucks compared to the version that I like." You are close minded as well, as your post proves.

I am not a huge racing fan (except some non-NASCAR games), but I can appreciate NASCAR. I went to Talladega with some friends two years ago (22 hour road trip) and it was one of the most awesome experiences of my life.

NASCAR has had road courses for a long time, as well. It is just that they aren't as popular for the fans. I guess their ignorant to "true" motorsports, unlike you...I mean, you know plenty about NASCAR (by plenty, I mean only that most races are on speedways, which you probably only know as big ovally thingymajigies) and can see that other stuff is somehow better.

Am I the only one noticing that the "now-thrice-released Resident Evil 4" has actually been released four times? I guess the PC port doesn't count, which makes sense because it was awful.

At all of you talking about the sales of the Wii, and for those of you comparing it to the 360 and PS3... God, you are all retards.

On holidays, what game player are parents going to buy if they have either, have little knowledge on what their kids want, or are just looking for a fun item? The cheaper machine. If the 2 other machines were selling for cheaper prices, then the markets would be comparable.

Not to mention the Wii is intended for a different market. More for the younger gamers, or the gamers who are into motion sensing control. The 360 and PS3 are more for serious gamers who are into graphics and precise control. Its like comparing 2 semi trucks to a mid-size sedan.

If Microsoft starts selling the 360 at at 200 bucks or whatever, you can expect those sales to level out a bit. Its not how many games the game has, its who the item appeals to and the price. The Wii is outselling because its cheaper, and it has motion sensing, and thats what parents care about. They don't give a shit about graphics (which, to most of them, are amazing). They just care about the fact that its a novel and new idea, and its cheaper.

Compare the like systems (360/PS3) and leave the Wii out of it, because there really is no competition for it until the prices of the others are lowered.

after reading BPM and doug's remarks about my spelling... just know that my education level is alot higher than the average blogger on this pathetic fanboy site... LOL @ BPM "street cred on a video game blog"... where did u come up wit that one... u must of thought long and hard about it becuase iam soooo insulted...

Bunch of fucking geeks

Can we call this a PS3 drought?
