New Games This Month: May 2008

by Justin McElroy on May 6th 2008 11:00AM

We're already offering you a weekly update on video game releases, but we recently came to the horrifying realization that it's just not enough. What if you needed to buy Shootron: The Shooting Robot but you had spent all your money the week prior on Staboid: The Alien Who Stabs? Horrifying!

So, we decided to pull the lens back a bit and show you a list of, well, not all the new releases, but the ones we think you might be interested to hear about. And since you've already seen what's coming this week we're gonna start with the releases due on or near May 13. Also, since this list is subject to change, we'll try to keep it updated throughout the month.

Read on, savvy shopper! Read on!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZE! I am sooo getting it on day one.

More like the month of Mehay.

...except Wii Fit. I'm totally buying it day 1.

And WiiWare =p

'eh...let's see what they actually launch with, first, since the apparently aren't going to say until Monday, now.

more like DAY WON!

I dunno, but come June, WiiWare gets SBCG4AP. Automatic win, especially coming from Telltale Games.

Singstar and Battle Fantasia for me.....

I'M NORMAL!

I'm happy this month with WiiWare and the new Nintendo Channel.

Oh, and there's this game called Blast Works for the Wii. Looks very good.

To bad it isn't Blast Corps, I loved that 64 game.

+1 blast corps was amaaaazing

Isn't Blast Corps another Rare one? Turns out that ALL good n64 games were by Rare. Nintendo should really have got a VC license when they sold them to MS.

For a minute I was really excited about Blast Works for Wii... but then I realised I was thinking of Blast Miner. Boy that game sucked hours from my life. (in puzzle mode of course).

I appreciated the art style of Tumiki Fighters, but the actual gameplay never really did it for me... so i don't really have much interest in Blast Works.

Yeah it was a Rare game, along with Goldeneye they are among my (if not) my favorite 64 games. I would love to see Blast Corps on Xbox Live Arcade or as a VC download, doubt that will ever happen though. I don't remember it being a very mainstream game.

The only games that look interesting at all to me are Quake Wars and Lost Planet Colonies.

I have Quake Wars for PC. I rate it a solid meh. It's kinda fun to blow up all the vehicles with a rocket launcher, but unless you've been playing it forever, 90% chance you'll be on the losing team every time.

(And the losing team is the one that can't get achievements, because achievements are objective based. Defenders don't have objectives...)

But I'm not bitter.

Hmm...I may get bashed for knowing this, but why is there a pic of britney spears on the right with the blonde hair

It's from Singstar

Leaving out Super Dodgeball Brawlers (DS) = fission mailed.

I wish Joystiq would present a more international view of game releases. The most significant game coming this month for me is going to be Race Driver: GRID which launches here in Europe on May 30th.

Yeah... you guys need few international correspondents. Or failing that, a "us-only" tag so we can all filter out this stuff in our news-readers.

Also, please fix your gallery so it actually shows the images full size.. or am i missing something obvious.

(i tend to think not, as you still haven't fixed the links in the "someone has replied" emails, at least 6 months on, and after having a specific post where everyone pointed it out. Its a 5 minute fix to the code... honest. )

Thank god there's nothing good coming out. I'll be too busy playing GTA and Phantom Hourglass anyway. Maybe I'll even go and pick up Mario Kart and Boom Blox at some point, but the urge isn't that pressing.

Man I stalled out on Phantom Hourglass and haven't picked it up in awhile. As you can likely guess I'm at a point where I have to go into the Ocean King Temple again.

I can't handle any new games this month. GTAIV and Mario Kart releasing so close to each other has really burgled most of my gaming time.

Burgled?

Yes, burgled is totally a word!

An awesome, awesome word.

Shit, Shootron is coming out this month? I haven't even figured out which system to get it on.

Myst DS had some MAJOR issues in the UK release. Don't know if they have been ironed out for the US release or not, but it might be worth checking, or waiting for a review or two.

In the meantime, look up a few customer reviews on amazon.co.uk

Yes, Myst DS is buggy as hell. Almost unplayable. Not worth your money. At least the european version.

Mag64.de even refused to give it a rating (= a 0% rating). They called it a "rushed out beta version".
Crashes regularly and is very badly localized (at least into german language).

Unless the crimson "Kratos" PSP comes out this month, I guess my money's saved for June. :\

Mass Effect PC for me, maybe Wii Fit after some game comes out with a reason to want the balance board.

It's too bad about the draconian copy-protection on Mass Effect PC, otherwise I'd have a reason to be excited about new releases this month.

Don't Forget. That Rock Band hits Europe this Month!.

Age of Conan,thats the game ive been waiting for.

Im like sot of an hyperactive squirrell right now,waiting and waiting for these game,is it 20 yet?
