Yikes. The loving was so good last week that we almost forgot that this was still summer. Thankfully, this week has jumped up and slapped us in the jaw to remind us. Ninja Gaiden Sigma seems to be the easy pick this week, unless you've played it so many times by now that you're sick of it. In that case, it may be time to invest in a book of some sort, or take up yachting for a week. There's (a little bit) more after the break.
Is that PLATINUM Sudoku I spy? Not Silver, not Gold, but Platinum? The only thing that could possibly be better than Platinum Sudoku is URANIUM Sudoku.
>The sequel, Chicken F-ck, comes out in '08 and has online,
Oh, bad idea, I heard you MUST enter friend-code for that one. I think the 3rd iteration. "Chicken says F**K YOU" will feature controls BETTER than those with keyboard and mouse. so That will be the one for me. :)
Chicken shoot is the spiritual sequel to Chicken Run, which was the spiritual sequel to Cannonball Run.
When are they gonna put 2 Crude Dudes on the VC? Am I the only one who ever played that game? I remember when I was 10 thinking it was so badass that one of the bosses you had to pwn was Santa Claus.
Was watching someone play NGS in the shop and it looked remarkably unimpressive.
I remember standing in awe watching someone play Ninja Gaiden in a shop when it first came out on the xbox.. it looked soo amazing.
This one just didn't have the same impact at all. Sure, i bet if yu put them side by side then it'd make the original look like crap.. but compared to my memory of NG it looked exactly the same. (but in HD i guess).
> "The only thing that could possibly be better than Platinum Sudoku is URANIUM Sudoku."
I finished the Darkness on Saturday. I enjoyed the game but I find myself wondering why I didn't just rent it now that the single player is complete...
Don't forget about "Insurgency" for the PC. It's one of the biggest source mods to come out in a long time and it's free as long as you have HL2. Kinda like counterstrike, but in Iraq. It's definitely worth checking out.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma is fantastic. We got it in at EB last week and I've been playing it in store on the PS3 kiosk. It's still essentially the same game but I love how you play through alot of the cinematics now rather than just watching them. (i.e. you fight Doku at the beginning of the game rather than just watching the cinematic)
I have about 80 unopened games. But for me, most were snagged on a clearance. That, or won or given to me. But then again, when your game collection finally breaches the 1000 mark... you do have to look back and realize how many you haven't beaten.
As soon as I heard the 360 was going to play everything, including some original XB games, in HD I had to have one. I've since amassed 51 360 games and 44 XB games. The last game I actually finished was GTA:LCS (PSP version).
Most of my "free time" is not at home, so my DS gets a lot of love with either puzzle games (Picross/Zendoku) or Pokemon!!
I sometime wonder why I keep buying games I don't have time to play, and the only answer I have come up with eventually I will play them, and I don't want to miss out...

Super Mario Bros. 2!? That's my buy of the week!
Joseph Villalobos @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:19AM
Hmmmm... nothing for me this week, what a relief! Not only did I save my self a hundred dollars, but time! =)
sheppy @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:25AM
If I was done with The Darkness already, NGS would be tempting. But I'm not... so it's not.
And to think, I'm also pounding out Forza 2 still AND raping Traxxpad for all it's secrets (thinking of doing a tutorial for Youtube).

LOL @ CHICKEN SHOOT
vidGuy @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:29AM
Yeah, WTH to Chicken Shoot. Good thing I'm still enjoying the hell out of Ganado Shoot: Wii Edition.
Super Mario Bros. 2 is my VC purchase of the week. Otherwise I'll keep enjoying RE4, SPM, and my rental of the Darkness for 360.
liqwid @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:46AM
SMB2 and Ecco
Ian Von Porter @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:51AM
Chicken Shoot Wii @ $50 ftw!
JodyAnthony @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:51AM
CHICKEN SHOOT! FUCK YES! I've been waiting for this game for YEARS.
samfish @ Jul 2nd 2007 10:01AM
I'll pass on Chicken Shoot, thanks. The sequel, Chicken F-ck, comes out in '08 and has online, so why should I waste my money on this?

A week where everyone can agree that the best game release is already on the "front page".

I agree with Sheppy. If I wasn't knee deep in the Darkness, NGS would easily be a purchase this week. Not that I won't pick it up soon though.

i LOL'd.
mccomber @ Jul 2nd 2007 11:09AM
I'm still working my way through The Darkness as well, but I'm going to pick up NGS tomorrow anyway because I'm OCD like that.
Rare Hare @ Jul 2nd 2007 11:14AM
Who the hell has to buy a new game every week? Someone with nothing to do but game, I suppose.
Hell, I'm still playing Madden 05 and God of War.
Shagittarius @ Jul 2nd 2007 11:27AM

I mean I'll probably never turn it on again.
t_m @ Jul 2nd 2007 11:31AM
heh... I just finnished Half Life 2 last week, and I'm trying to decide whether to start Vampire: Bloodlines or Oblivion this week... ;-)
(Was trying Tomb Raider Legend from Gametap.. but it pretty much sucked. the only good bits were where it (almost succeeded in) copying PoP.)

I know a guy (co-worker) who buys 2-3 games a week. He has 100's of unopened games that he'll probably never play. It's like a sickness I tell you!

That's such a waste. If I had that kind of money I'd go ahead and put a down payment on an Escalade.

I'm with you on that one sheppy.

Kinda sad really :)
