Shipping this week: Boring edition

by Richard Mitchell on Nov 3rd 2008 10:45AM

Is there a more boring month than November? It's like there's nothing worth playing this month at all. After the debacle that was last week, this week is completely bereft of anything even remotely resembling fun in even the most infinitesimal way. Seriously, have you seen what's coming out this week? Just take a look.

Gears of War 2
Tom Clancy's EndWar
Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice
James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Namco Museum Virtual Arcade
Legendary
History Channel Civil War: Secret Mission

See? Nothing. Ah well, maybe we'll finally get something worth playing next week.

Gears of War 2 OMGNOM!

BORING! j/k btw....

So true. I guess I'll have to settle for something like the virtual arcade.

omg but ive been waiting for History Channel Civil War: Secret Mission !!!!

its been so long and i want to get my hands on this glorious game.

sarcasm off.

Jeez, looks like I'll have to get a Wii.

This is torture.
Gears was done a month ago.
Can't they just expedite it like Dead Space?

Agree! It has been in stores for a little while now (about a week). My G-Friend works at Walmart and has a pic of it on her phone. I want to "Borrow" it until Friday night... not that I am completely done with Fable 2 or even started Fallout 2 Yet.

Not even Fallout 2? You have a ways to go!

I was interested in that civil war game i didnt buy the first because no multiplayer and guess what.No multiplayer once again that really pisses me off.

That game would kick ass with multiplayer and they failed to deliver.

That dog looks weird.

That's a cute puppy! lol

I've been waiting months to play History Channel Civil War: Secret Mission! Hopefully they fixed the quick musket reload glitch that plagued the last one's multiplayer.

Dude theres no online multiplayer in that damn game.

Yeah and the "hard tack lag" made the game damn near unplayable online!

Hmm my local Game has been selling Legendary for atleast a week already. Had a quick look and man th egraphics suck.

Legendary is finally going to be released? Wow.
I really wanted to play it, but they kept pushing back the street date. Now I'll be too busy with other (probably better) games. Such is the month of November, I suppose.

this week does suck, god! nothing good at all, the best here being madagascar 2 and the namco museum.....sigh. no games to buy this week*

*sarcasm was in use for the production of this comment. if you thought i was serious at all, what are you on and where can i find it?

I know its arcade, but does vigilante 8 come out this week or am I off?

I actually agree with the title.

Not into recycled shooters, Playing the same shooters I played 5 years ago on the PC with better graphics just doesn't interest me.

Agreed, these games are getting the Big Skip from me too. Gears was a competent game but it was so generic.

Jeez, I can already guess how Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice ends, all I have to say is ur gonna end up taking a bullet for a jackass

MADAGASCAR! HOLY.....! fapfapfap

(sorry)

Gears of War 2? What's that? Is it like a puzzle game?

No I think its a horse training simulator.

You're both right. It's a horse training simulator puzzle game. Tiny horses fall from the top of the screen. Connect 3 horses of the same colour, and they expode, releasing power orbs which teach the other horses kung-fu moves, which are used in the following level to fight the evil mole overlords.

I know, I know, it's a wonder I don't work in game design, isn't it?

Sounds awesome. I think I'll buy it.

...I kinda want to play that horse puzzle kung-fu game!

I do think this is boring. My big releases were the Penny Arcade game and Telltale's episodic releases. Seriously.

I could care less about shooters, though I don't fault anyone for preferring that over my dull point and click adventures. I just hate this universal standard of "this is what an amazing video game is" being applied to them.

FUCK!!! Did My Little Pony: Island Adventure get pushed back another week?

Huh, back to Fallout 3 it is then.

Next week COD WAW Out Fucking standing.

Another Fishing game?

So, instead of getting fucking crushed last week, Legendary is going to get fucking crushed this week instead?

*Sigh* what a season. Fable II and Gears 2! Not to mention Mirror's Edge and Banjo on the way...my poor wallet. Luckily this week is actually pretty barren outside of gears-not like the week coming up.

i'm gettin Gears 2 at my local Best Buy at midnight. can't wait!
