New games this week: Call of Duty 4 Game of the Year Edition ... edition

by Justin McElroy { Mar 31st 2008 at 10:00AM }

Ahh, can you smell that? That's the smell of a new quarter, when companies realize they have three whole months before they have to report their profits again and so, like a lackluster Econ major, they decide not to worry about money until the last week. To that end, we've got almost nothing to report in the way of releases this week.

It's so bad that our featured game, Call of Duty 4, actually came out in 2007, but we figured that the devil we knew was better than the Monkey King: The Legend Begins we didn't. (Note: We confirmed with Activision and Infinity Ward that Call of Duty 4: Game of the Year Edition will be released for PlayStation 3 at a later date.) Check the full list after the break.

Xbox 360:

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game of the Year Edition
Smash Court Tennis 3

PS3:

[No new releases]

Nintendo Wii:

The Monkey King: The Legend Begins
WWII Aces

PS2:

Mana Khermia: Alchemists of Al-Revis

Worst Review Ever @ Mar 31st 2008 10:05AM

Wow. "Sketchy and non-descript" is right.

NATO_Duke @ Mar 31st 2008 10:46AM

Amen. A very lame week.

Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Mar 31st 2008 10:07AM

So I'm the only one who suffered many sleepless nights for Overclocked: A History Of Violence?

Sturat @ Mar 31st 2008 10:08AM

I know at first glance Monkey King looks like shovelware, but it's actually Starfish's Cloud Master/Chuuka Taisen sequel. It looks like it might be good.

Nigeria: Cody ChesnuTT Defense Force @ Mar 31st 2008 10:08AM

"Diner Dash: Hometown Hero"
"The Monkey King: The Legend Begins"

I want these games at a reasonable price.

Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Mar 31st 2008 10:11AM

Hmmm, Mana Khermia is an NIS translated RPG.... interest is piqued...

RoboJoel @ Mar 31st 2008 10:12AM

A Side Scrolling Shooter based on Journey to the West. I might just have to pick up Monkey King.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 31st 2008 10:14AM

Anyone that even slightly likes shooters and hasnt picked this one up yet....well what are you waiting for? It's one badass mofo fo sho! =P

"Call of Duty 4: Game of the Year Edition will be released for PlayStation 3 at a later date."

Why??? The game is already made, right? My poor PS3, always a bridesmaid never a bride. Uhhh, I dont think that works well. How bout... my poor PS3, it always gets treated like a stepchild? Ahhh whatever go buy this game!! Amazing graphics, one helluva campaign and the best MP game on the market.

mr nimblewick @ Mar 31st 2008 10:19AM

I slightly like shooters, but I don't own a PS3 or 360.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 31st 2008 10:23AM

*Correction

Anyone that even slightly likes shooters, owns a 360, PS3 or capable PC and hasnt picked this one up yet...well what are you waiting for? It's one badass mofo fo sho! =P

Thanks Mr Nimblewick =)

Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Mar 31st 2008 10:24AM

What if you like shooters but hate the idea of supporting Activision?

samfish @ Mar 31st 2008 10:28AM

What if you like side scrolling and top-down vertical shooters?

baby sea tuna @ Mar 31st 2008 10:30AM

Then you should probably buy a 360 or a PS3.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 31st 2008 10:33AM

Haha very funny guys. You know what I mean.

Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Mar 31st 2008 10:34AM

baby sea tuna, how dare you try to confuse someone with your fanboy agenda. Clearly they should buy the ultimate system, 3DO. It has everything, including Dennis Miller and Return Fire.

baby sea tuna @ Mar 31st 2008 11:10AM

Of course! How could I forget the 3DO?!

I swear...my stupid fanboy adgenda gets in the way of everything these days.

samfish @ Mar 31st 2008 10:29AM

March really does go out like a lamb, it seems.

ThePremierAssassin @ Mar 31st 2008 10:52AM

That whore has nothing on Peach...

Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994) @ Mar 31st 2008 11:15AM

bring back nude peach
if i wasn't so lazy i'd form an online petition but what will that accomplish? i'd rather flood your email with responses to bring back nude peach

samfish @ Mar 31st 2008 11:33AM

Poor Daisy...forever in Peach's shadow!

See how sad she looks in that picture? She's on the verge of tears because of your cruel, cruel words!

Anyway, NakedPeach is on on the rag and really doesn't feel like being naked this week.

ChooChooCharlie (Brawl: 1504-5357-9285) @ Mar 31st 2008 1:52PM

"NakedPeach is on on the rag"

*throws up in mouth*

Anyway, samfish, I support the new avatar.
Brunettes > blondes almost always. Daisy's smarter, less ostentatious, and less slutty than Peach (although the pic says otherwise).

Desert Eagle @ Mar 31st 2008 4:03PM

Aha... samfish, you really know how to turn people on. Daisy looks nice on that picture.

nmmalone @ Mar 31st 2008 11:07AM

Ordered Call of Duty 4 Game of the Year Edition edition last night. Had amazon.com gift certificates, hooray!

Donald @ Mar 31st 2008 11:13AM

I wish they'd hurry up and announce the Virtual Console releases for the week.

Donald @ Mar 31st 2008 11:22AM

nm, found them at WiiFanboy.

Cruisin' USA (1000pts)
Wonder Boy (Sega Master System) - 500pts

Haon @ Mar 31st 2008 11:49AM

Yikes. I guess its better off that we didn't know.

Fox318 @ Mar 31st 2008 11:19AM

I wonder how much will be made with the GOTY version. I mean most of the Xbox 360 players and PC players I've played or talked to already have it.

Jonah Falcon @ Mar 31st 2008 11:32AM

Well, I haven't gotten CoD4 yet, so...

By the way, PS3 owners can get SOMEthing new this week: new Eye of Judgement booster pack.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Mar 31st 2008 12:06PM

*cricket* *cricket*

Sorry couldn't resist.

Steve @ Mar 31st 2008 12:36PM

Great, now I won't be able to get near the photocopier because they've decided an extra fail pack is due.

hvnlysoldr @ Mar 31st 2008 2:13PM

That toy shop simulator doesn't seem to have enough depth.

Martez @ Mar 31st 2008 2:58PM

Blokus!

Desert Eagle @ Mar 31st 2008 3:40PM

Eh... pretty awful new release week, but at least it's better than nothing. I'm wondering what this GOTY edition of CoD4 has or it's the same. I'll appreciate if someone tells me because I haven't found out.

Also, just got Advance Wars:DoR yesterday when I went looking for a Wii at my local Costco. Pretty fun game, seeing that I'm a sucker for strategy games, but I haven't tried it online yet, which looks fun. I think this game will entertain me for a very long time.

Keeko_ca @ Mar 31st 2008 5:58PM

Sweet. I'll be picking up CoD4 this week. The reason I didn't get it before was because I thought it was just your standard WWII type game. Not a big fan of them really.
I found out it wasn't a WWII game about a couple months ago and just never got around to picking it up. Just when I had an off week to go grab it a couple weeks ago, ran into the GOTY info on ol' 'stiq here. Been anxious for a couple weeks now! The new DLC maps are free with this version, correct?
