We mean the headline literally, you see, because this week's marquee title (arguably) is Fracture. You may recall Fracture as the earth molding third person shooter from LucasArts. If you don't remember it -- and we wouldn't blame you -- there's a demo of the game available on Xbox Live Marketplace right now. We've also got a platformer, two basketball titles, and ... um ... Guilty Gear 2: Overture. All told, we have:
Anyone out there planning to pick something up this week?

Saints Row 2, it's going to be a lot of fun I'm sure. Doesn't come out until next week though.
Nothing this week interests me but that's fine since I'm still playing through RB2.

I'll probably grab one of the NBA games. Don't know which one yet. I tried the fracture demo and found the combat portion horrid, so I'll pass on that one.

Get NBA 2k9 . . . it should be the best simulation basketball title to date. I know I'll be picking it up!

2k9 is better by far. But if you want more arcade style basketball, you should get live.

Yeah, that's the hitch. I like sim sports games, but I'm pretty awful at the 2k8 demo...I'll try both demos and whichever one I pick up easier I'll probably go with.

I'll defiantly be picking up Fracture. Really liked the demo. Not interesting in the others at all. Hopefully my store has a copy for me.

Man, that Fracture demo blew butthole, it was kind of neat at first but I can't imagine it being very useful to move the ground in any other way than occasional cover and the little puzzles they made you do.
It's so generic looking too, really why would you get this one when there's games coming out later this year that shatter this one from the Earth in comparison.
Yeah I said it.

Fracture really was bad.. & really didn't feel all that technical at all, a below par shooter, only slightly better than Blacksite 51.. though I didn't have much hope for it after playing Star Wars: Force Suppressed (Anyone play Fable 1 with repulse & the lightning attack - that, was kickass!)
I'm sure I've seen better terrain deformation in Populous too..

fracture is interesting and is my pick for the week, I'm just not a big fan of NBA games (probably because I'm really bad at them).

Did anyone actually think "Mind over Mutant" was a funny name? If so they should be shot
