New games this week: Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation edition
fixed it :)
CaptainAmericaX @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:13AM
Yes you did indeed.
Lets see Joystiq does a games edition for Heavenly Sword (which is a joke of a game) and R&C but they neglect to do it for Halo 3...
Interesting...
Of course I'm not surprised though...I'm looking forward to December when they put Uncharted up there instead of Super Mario Galaxy...
FidliousWong @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:23AM
You know, Cap... for such an iconic hero of WWII, you cry too much.
Halo 3 did get it's day in the sun with the 300+ topics they ran on it. And then they did the games of the week and jokingly threw up Bratz but did a followup story on Halo 3 launches.
Heavenly Sword is a good game who's major flaw is that it's too short. Seriously, read reviews.
Drake and Mario don't ship on the same week.
Technically, Joystiq could really put a fire under your ass and do Eye of Judgment this week and R&C next week under it's "official" release date.
CaptainAmericaX @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:29AM
My name has nothing to do with the icon...
Thanks for clearing up that Mario/Uncharted shipping date. I thought they were coming out around the same time...
Halo had its "day" when Joystiq chose to make a big deal about the graphics (although anyone with half a brain knows the beauty of Halo isn't even remotely connected with the graphics).
And I stand by original opinion. If Mario and Uncharted were coming out the same week I'd bet 1 million dollars that they'd do "New gmes this week: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune EditioN" or some other foolery...
But hey it is their website so I understand their tendencies to favor one side over the other.

"(although anyone with half a brain knows the beauty of Halo isn't even remotely connected with the graphics).
"
As PC gamers know its crap compared to other FPS games. Orange Box anyone?
samfish (MSDF- Nurse Outfit!) @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:42AM
Stop bitching. Jesus christ. Joystiq isn't biased at all. The only people who are biased are the ones who endlessly whine and moan about Joystiq's bias.
Now Vlad Cole...HE was biased.
NATO_Duke @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:53AM
CaptainAmericaX - Halo 3 did get it listing under the article on games shipping that week. Just because you are bitter about something and forgot, doesn't mean that the article wasn't there.
Pretty funny to see someone so damn certain that Joystiq is pro Sony when on 90% of the days there are Sony fanboys pitching a fit for the opposite point. Just goes to show that many of you make sh*t up to back your agenda. The site isn't pro Sony. Sit down and relax.

Halo 3 not receiving enough attention?

B1gC72 @ Oct 22nd 2007 2:29PM
damn CaptainAmerciaX, who lit your tampon on fire? i have not seen a game on this site get as much attention as Halo gets. and as a person that doesnt like Xbox or Halo, it can get pretty annoying. but at the same time there is no denying that Halo is a juggernaut of the sales chart. when it comes out, basically everyone but me buys it. and your mad because Halo 3 wasnt the featured game of the week when it came out. it was the featured game of the year for crying out loud!
and you get upset like it really makes a difference that R&C is the featured game and now it is magically going to outsell Halo 3 now. im going to buy R&C but i dont it has the prowess to move all that many consoles. let somebody else be in the limelight for once please, we Sony fans need this one lol.
mfed3 @ Oct 22nd 2007 2:38PM
ditto, nobody (except the annoying fanboys who are going to reply to this, even though they have no intention of buying the game) has a ps3 or cares about ratchet and clank, a children's game. announce the real games dude.
colin @ Oct 22nd 2007 5:06PM
new games this week: please oh please oh please be good edition, in the name of everything holy!
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 22nd 2007 10:55PM
"As PC gamers know its crap compared to other FPS games. Orange Box anyone?"
too bad noone really gives a shit what pc gamers think.
king masters @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:13AM
dude you forgot guitar hero 3 is out this week
Chris @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:14AM
next week....
Chris @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:14AM
Ratchet and Clank will be a fine game, but there still isn't anything to warrant a purchase of a PS3 for me.
I keep getting curiouser and curiouser of this Zack and Wiki game though.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:22AM
Same here. Also Zack and Wiki has been getting pretty good reviews (GI gave it a 8.75 I believe).
Dale @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:35AM
A third on Zack & Wiki, it has an element of point and click about it, which is always a win for me.
AstroZombie @ Oct 22nd 2007 11:38AM
I'll be getting Zack and Wiki. It's a third-party Wii game that isn't shovelware or a minigame collection, and it makes good use of motion controls. Plus point-and-click adventure games don't come around often enough these days.
Cyro @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:14AM
Clive Barker's Jericho looks like a good game. I want to see the reviews and might just buy it. Or maybe not. The problem is that too many good games are coming out in the following months and I'm stil to finish Orange Box. These are great times to be a gamer in deed. Well at least if your playing on the Xbox 360 that is.
commen-cents @ Oct 22nd 2007 1:42PM
jericho and orange box are multi-platform so i fail to see why its only good to be a 360 gamer... unless your one of those delusional tools that think thats the only console that exists. but you wouldn't be one of those would you?
Brello @ Oct 22nd 2007 2:10PM
Yeah, the Xbox has been getting so many great titles recently, and still more to come. I may finally have to pick up a 360, crappy hardware or not.
To the above reply, yes, other consoles exist, but the 360 has been getting all its best exclusives just recently, with more coming soon. The Wii has their main franchises coming out soon, too. May have to pick up a Wii, too. PS3, well, PS3 can wait. I still have games to finish on my PS2, and there isn't anything exclusive that I want on PS3 yet.
commen-cents @ Oct 22nd 2007 2:22PM
brello... beside halo 3 and mass effect what "exclusives" are you soooo excited about?
Psaakyrn @ Oct 22nd 2007 7:31PM
Orange box may also be available for PC, but not everyone has a gaming PC. and since the PS3 version is not out yet, it may as well be a timed console exclusive.
commen-cents @ Oct 23rd 2007 12:56AM
hahaha your logic is amazing... "not everyone has a gaming pc" well guess what, not everyone has an xbox 360 either bud, so that has nothing to do with the fact that the game is multi-platform. yeah the ps3 version isnt out yet but im sure those who want it and have a ps3 can wait a little bit instead of running out and buying an xbox.
king masters @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:16AM
well it depends how you count sunday
DSR7997 @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:30AM
Ratchet and Clank, Jericho, Conan and Ace Combat. I am so going to have to sleep on the sofa after buying all of these games. At least Orange Box, Halo 3 and Biochock were spread out.
Brent @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:40AM
Finally, some Castlevania love for PSP owners. Ratchet and Clank looks good too.
baby sea tuna @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:52AM
I was considering Jericho (I honestly forgot when it was even coming out) but with GHIII next week, and like 10zillion things next month, I might have to pass. Ah well, I haven't even touched Forge so Halo will keep me busy for at least another week.
Night Elve @ Oct 22nd 2007 8:57AM
No PES love for America? :( I need so badly this game! Does anyone know what's the release date for our continent?
GRANTED @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:12AM
i second this, er, question.
Z @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:18AM
PES (Winning Eleven) is coming out 1Q 08 in America. Probably between February and April like usual.
Noshino @ Oct 22nd 2007 2:39PM
I thought it wasn't region locked....?
Matt B @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:00AM
I'm picking up Eye of Judgment mostly for the camera. But if the card game is fun, then that is just a bonus.
robert @ Oct 22nd 2007 11:27AM
looks like Eye of Judgment was pushed back.
from Amazon:
The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher.
"The Eye of Judgment (includes PlayStation Eye Camera)" [Video Game]
Release date: 10/30/2007
Joshua @ Oct 22nd 2007 11:37AM
So far, only Amazon has delayed it. I suspect they didn't order enough supply to release it tomorrow, so they had to delay it.
No other retailer has delayed it past October 23.
msh_hitman @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:05AM
Since Guitar Hero 3 is released Sunday, doesn't that mean it's released this week or does Sunday not count till next weeks listing?
JodyAnthony @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:17AM
should be New games this week: Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles edition
Vidikron (FU) @ Oct 22nd 2007 10:42AM
That game is second on my list of purchases this week right behidn R&C... but I am looking foward to R&C more.
megaStryke @ Oct 22nd 2007 11:42AM
Castlevania is the support I need to buy a PSP. I wasn't going to get one JUST for Mega Man Powered Up.
Z @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:18AM
PES (Winning Eleven) is coming out 1Q 08 in America. Probably between February and April like usual.
megaStryke @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:21AM
Zack & Wiki is the big dog this week. Everyone should push that game to as many people as you can. Tell your friends, family, and well-wishers. Don't let this title fall into obscurity like so many lost gems of the past.
Konny @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:36AM
I suspect it will be outsold by WiiPlay 75 to 1.. just watch. Maybe it would have mad a chance if they named it Super Mario, Zak and Wiki do Puzzle Games.
samfish (MSDF- Nurse Outfit!) @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:43AM
Konny's gettin' brave, responding to megaStryke...
megaStryke @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:55AM
And I suspect Konny's testicles will drop in due time.
License to ill @ Oct 22nd 2007 10:32AM
Zack & Wiki is the big dog this week.
You typed that with a straight face?
megaStryke @ Oct 22nd 2007 11:17AM
Yes, I did. What was it that the Sony supporters on this site have been saying as of late? Oh yeah! "Just because a game has more hype or sells more doesn't make it a good game."
FidliousWong @ Oct 22nd 2007 12:27PM
I'd like to back you on this but seriously, I have no clue about the game. Everything I've seen makes it look not so much for me. So I'll look over the reviews and decide if I rent or not. But very few people know what the hell this game is (I heard an EBgames person say it was minigames).
I mean, it may be a big dog, but it's making a yipping noise.
mafafu @ Oct 22nd 2007 4:02PM
Huzzah, I've already paid for my Zack & Wiki. I've loved point & click adventures since the old Sierra Quest games.
Rob @ Oct 22nd 2007 9:43AM
Yay, Ratchet and Clank. Finally a big name on the PS3. Keep it coming.
