New games this week: CID the Dummy edition

by Justin McElroy { Jan 5th 2009 at 9:45AM }

Still no releases on the 360 or PS3 this week, but it doesn't matter. Why? Because we've got a very special guest: CID the Dummy. Our buddy CID has traveled to us from 1993 -- the last year a game about a crash test dummy would have been relevant -- to land on your Wii, PS2, PSP and PC! CID old buddy, glad you could make it! How's life under Clinton? Did you bring those Perfect Strangers VHS tapes and that Soul Asylum CD we asked for?

There are a few other games you can find right after the break, none of them with the distinction of having traveled through time.

Nintendo Wii:

Paws & Claws Pet Resort
Fishing Master World Tour
CID The Dummy

PS2:

CID The Dummy

PSP:

CID The Dummy

Nintendo DS:

Paws & Claws Pampered Pets
Jumble Madness
Bigfoot: Collision Course
Moon
Elebits: The Adventure of Kai & Zero

PC Games:

I see the trickle of awesome games for the PSP continues for another week.

oh yeah definitely, as opposed to Paws & Claws: Pampered Pets.

Moon might be decent.

It's rated M for gratuitous shots of pantsless backsides.

Anything like the new thong skin for L4D's Boomer?

Holy rememberence, I had some Crash test dummy game on some old system way back when. Will have to pick this up now.

i had some crash test dummy game for my Genesis. OMG that was a fun game back in the day! this though.....this looks like it should be left to burn in the car.

Jesus Christ, crash test dummies is oldsauce. If I didn't look like a total douche, I'd buy it out of nostalgia-goggles.

I miss 1993. Those were the days.

Saints Row 2.. worth it?

my brother loves it but it just feels too unpolished for me after playing GTAIV. if you like the old GTA games though, in terms of over-the-topness this game really shines. just some of the base mechanics are too unpolished for me, but then again, im very picky about my games.
