New games this week: Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass edition

by Justin McElroy { Oct 1st 2007 at 8:00AM }

After what was arguably the biggest week of the the year for most 360 owners, we have what is almost absolutely the week that most DS owners have been looking forward to with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. It's not a bad week all around though, with Project Gotham Racing 4 on the 360 (or Geometry Wars: Waves depending on your perspective), a whole lotta basketball on the PS3 and on Wii ... umm ... Ninja Bread Man. Check the full list after the break.

Wait wait wait. starcraft battlechest is coming out on the PC? Jeez, I thought that came out 5 years ago.

joevill @ Oct 1st 2007 8:45AM

I thought so too!

Justin McElroy @ Oct 1st 2007 8:51AM

yeah, the list we link to was wrong, it's actually the World of Warcraft Battlechest.

EvanB @ Oct 1st 2007 8:15AM

PGR4, Phantom Hourglass and Quake Wars. Looks like my season of spending is about to begin.

joevill @ Oct 1st 2007 8:46AM

w00t! I'm buying Zelda too! =)

baby sea tuna @ Oct 1st 2007 8:24AM

I really wish I hadn't lost my DS.

:(

ScreamingSkull @ Oct 1st 2007 8:33AM

Aw man, I was hoping that Orange box would magically drop this week too. As fun as Halo is, I can't wait for TFC2.

Secura @ Oct 1st 2007 8:33AM

There's nothing worthy of my money here.....

JodyAnthony (FDF - Hedonism Bot) @ Oct 1st 2007 9:10AM

HOLY SHIT NINJABREAD MAN!

fuck yes!

looks like I'm buying two games this week

fawazr @ Oct 1st 2007 9:15AM

I bet Ninjabread Man makes a good profit for the developers despite the fact that it's rubbish.

Jay @ Oct 1st 2007 9:16AM

Yay! Too bad my position as a broke college student will force me to wait until the end of the week when funds will be sufficient to purchase PH

Phanman @ Oct 1st 2007 9:24AM

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a quality PC title, does the PC not get love anymore?

SeriousKriss @ Oct 1st 2007 1:06PM

It's certainly a PC title first and foremost, and given the kind of gameplay it features I wouldn't want to play it on anything other than M/KB, but don't forget it's also coming to the 360 and PS3 later (I don't remember when though).
But yeah, it's a great multiplayer FPS if you can experience it with good team mates.

Ted @ Oct 1st 2007 9:24AM

What??? October 19th for Phantom Hourglass in the UK!?! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

jadenguy @ Oct 1st 2007 10:06AM

Sin and Punishment is enough Wii for the week. EVERYBODY BUY

Duscrom @ Oct 1st 2007 6:39PM

Hmm, buy an overpriced port of a 10 year old game? Or buy another Zelda Remake.... I'm going with Zelda myself.

And I'm picking that up over another Quake Remake, andother NBA Live 05 remake..AND another Gran Tourismo remake. But Ninja Bread Man... that's looking to be fresh, new and Innovative.

jadenguy @ Oct 8th 2007 6:51PM

new and exciting? ninjabread is also a remake. looks cool regardless, but remake none the less.

anyhow, how do you price a game? what value, monitarily, do you assign it? most games come pre-priced based on the console, but those numbers are arbitrary. there are complex calculations that go into deciding the price of a game based on the cost to create, the material resources decided by one set of market forces, time/human resources dictated by job market forces, creativity given another arbitrary market to decide the price, and that's just to figure out how much something is worth to make. then you have to figure that nobody is going to the trouble of getting along with a hundred or so people just to break even. somebody with the ferocity to get that together gets paid for that with whatever success he has with getting good people to work on the project. then there's the marketing. that costs money, that makes money, that's the opposite of good, but it is. also, there's the foreign market exchange.

i paid 12 dollars for a game i couldn't obtain for less than 50, it's 10 years old but i remember enjoying games from that long ago, and buying dvds for much more from much longer than that ago, and i've got no problem with recommending this game to basically anybody who likes videogames.

Hirsbrunner @ Oct 1st 2007 11:04AM

I've waited so frickin' long for Phantom Hourglass, I'm still expecting it to be pushed back again.

Sean @ Oct 1st 2007 11:12AM
