New games this week: Skate 2 edition

by Justin McElroy on Jan 19th 2009 8:00AM

Video games are continuing the battle back from the brink of doom this week, with the release of one of 2009's most promising titles yet: Skate 2. We'll have some more detailed thoughts for you soon, but suffice to say it's definitely worth your time, if only to congratulate EA for having the stones to release a big-name title in the cold, bitter darkness of winter.

Also of note is early PS2 contender for 2009 Name of the Year, AR Tonelico 2: Melody Of Metafalica. We were going to Google it for more info, but we were fairly sure we'd end up on some sort of watch list.

Melody Of Metafalica? Metafalica? Really? After that innuendo video from the first game made the rounds, you'd think they'd avoid a title that sounds like 'super-phallus.'

That video was epic.

Spectacular and Horrific at the same time is right.

I don't think I'll watch something better than this the whole day.

Wait, is the entire game like that? This has to be worth at least a rental. Just for the laughs though... hmm..

*goes and takes a cold shower*

I love this time of year! I get to catch up on all the big games from the holidays without feeling Gamer Guilt™ for skipping out on any new ones.

Not that Skate 2 isn't going to be good, it's just my really my thing.

Metafalica?

Srsly.

That's BRUTAAAAAAAL!!!!!

Pickles: So you're telling me that you take these lobsters, put 'em in a pot, and boil them alive?

Clerk: Yeah.

Pickles: That is THE most metal thing I have ever heard of in my entire life.

Did you forget about Stoked for the 360?

I did.

It's been pushed back a month. Sucks I know.

Skate 2 demo is far better than the Skate demo. I'll probably pick it up as the first skate game I'll have bought since THPS2. Before skating games became platformers with skateboards.

same man. I had THPS2X for xbox. It was awesome

I was going to disagree with that because I think THPS4 is the pinnacle of the series, but damnit, you're kinda right.

Isn't Dead Rising: CTYD this week? Or is it next week?

"AR Tonelico 2: Melody Of Metafalica"

For a moment there I read Tommy Tallarico 2 Melody of Metallica.

Yeah... Me too...

What the hell...

... I'd buy it.

lol same

You stare at a still imagine of Kirk's ass while riffs from various songs play. Not the solos.. just the melodies.

Darts in High Def! Bring it on!

I will be picking Skate 2 up day one. The first one was great and from what I have gathered from playing the Skate 2 demo numerous times, they have refined it quite a bit. This is going to be lots of fun!

If I had money to spend, I'd probably look into Ultimate Shooting Collection.

And I'll be buying Skate 2 INSTANTLY. I've played the demo a lot, and I'll probably get it for PS3. That's what I've played the demo the most on so far. Umm... doesn't Stoked come out tomorrow?
