this is one boring looking week. Thinking about Riviera, but I'm going to wait for some reviews. I'll probably download mach rider though, I think I still have some points left.

I was in the beta for Sword of the New World, and its a highly polished MMO with a unique setting (European colonialist theme). You control a family of three characters all at the same time so solo-play is possible, and with up to 32 character slots available to play with, you can mix things up to keep things interesting. Its a great game, and I hope it does well.
My only comment: there is absolutely no reason to buy it retail, because the download is also free at the website. People who purchase it retail only get a UPC card that everybody in the game can get anyways, but a little later.

I'm also looking forward to Riviera on the PSP. Old school RPGs FTW.

Well, you know what? I just purchased Planet Puzzle League, so I'm covered for a good long while. In fact, I'd take that game over most games coming out this year, much less this week.

Speaking of odd ball games that Square-Enix isn't exactly known for, I picked up a brand-spankin' new copy of Legend: Samurai Musashi for only $9.00 this weekend...but haven't played it.
Is it any good, that game?
Or could I have wasted that $9.00 bucks on something equally unimportant like mediocre beer or something?

Wow, what a coincidence! I got a 10$ copy of Musashi Samurai Legend last week too. However, it is a mere shell of the original. The game looks pretty, but the game is so shallow in EVERY element as compared to Brave Fencer, it's ridiculous.

Samurai Legends was alright... nothing special. The original Brave Fencer Musashiden on PSX was much better.

Replying to replies could get bad really quick. If every reply to a reply was further indented to the right, imangine how out-of-hand it could get if like 20 people in a row kept replying to each other's replies?

The action in Musashi is entertaining. Typical hack 'n Slash affairs and some of the character designs are nice. Manga shading is quite cool too. But the lead thing that drags this, and every other Action RPG, down is the sequences where you HAVE to talk to a certain person just to move the game along. And that's the only issue I had with it. The forced plot development in a genre that's stories are quite stupid.

On a side note, why is my avatar Mario? Why can't it be Captain Quark like on PSN?

I believe he said all that stuff is coming after e3 (changing avatars, linked URLs, etc)
I can't wait to change my avatar to the guy from the cover of the SNES game Phalanx.

Nope.
Maybe it's because he had so many lines in the post?

Sylpheed's pretty good, its been out in Europe just over a week now.
Admittedly, its nothing special and you have to give it some time to get a proper feel for it but its still pretty enjoyable.
I've been playing it while my daughters around during the day, and then The Darkness in the evenings.

Sylpheed made me dizzy. If you can master the controls, it can be pretty entertaining though. It may help fill the void for the genre until Ace Combat 6 hits.

AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO PLAYED SYLPHEED ON THE SEGA CD??? That was a mind blowing game at the time; the bckgrounds were AMAZING.
Also, Grenada Espado is a cool game until you realize that every single character looks exactly the same b/c there are NO custumization options.

Actually, I own both Sega CDs Silpheed and Silpheed: The Lost Planet. But from what I've seen of Project Silpheed, it seems to have more in common with Colony Wars or Descent: Freespace than the Rail Shooter roots.
Not that I'm complaining. Whichever role it serves is a dying breed.

Bad week to release a game. I'll be too busy with Bring it Home on Xbox. They will probably have some free XBLA game to showcase XNA.

Project Syphillus looks ok, but only because the 360 has been starved for a spaceship shooter since launch. Personally, it looks a little too busy to draw me in. Anyone know if there are any other space shooters in the works for 360 or does this have to do for now?

If Project Sylpheed is like the original Rouge Squadron I might pick it up. It is only $39.99...
