Nothing for me this week, which is nice since Im in the middle of overlord 2 with fight night waiting. I also found my copy of diablo 2 in some old boxes I was going to throw out, might have to pop that in.
Mazrael @ Jun 29th 2009 3:00PM
Nothing for me either.. guess it's still between Phantasy Star 2, TF2:RotF & Naruto 2..
Markez @ Jun 29th 2009 3:17PM
Yeah, noticed you've been hacking that quite a bit. I've been drowning in Fallout DLC. Finished The Pitt not too long ago, which I thought was great, and now I'm fending off hillbillies in Point Lookout. I'm trying to stave off the inevitable end of the game, but I figure there's still plenty to do.
My girlfriend might actually dig that Harry Potter game, so who knows maybe we'll pick that up.
rambodude72 @ Jun 29th 2009 5:39PM
nothing this week still finishing fallout then ill start the dlc for that and some zombies on mp2
Shagittarius @ Jun 29th 2009 2:24PM
- Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (PC)
That's it for me this week, and actually theres nothing at all next month either.
Cosmo (formerly Chin-Poh) @ Jun 29th 2009 2:25PM
I wonder what sales of SF4 will be like on the PC. Capcom should do okay regardless since the MT Framework engine used for SF4, Lost Planet, Resident Evil 5, etc. are first developed on the PC so making a PC version for them wasn't that difficult. Other developers should do the same, make an engine that's easily to port games between PC and consoles so everyone joins in the fun.
Billop @ Jun 29th 2009 2:26PM
Ill probably get Call Of Juarez for PS3 on Friday. Joystiq have seemed to stop doing PAL dates, but Its released on Friday in the UK
acefondu @ Jun 29th 2009 2:27PM
BlazBlue! Can't wait!
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jun 29th 2009 2:30PM
Harry Potter AND Ice Age in the same week?
Best week ever confirmed
tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 29th 2009 2:33PM
Another bad week for games, but I just got point lookout for Fallout 3 yesterday and it's fantastic so far. That should keep me going through the week.
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jun 29th 2009 2:34PM
what are you talking about? This month has been so baller until this week
tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 29th 2009 2:36PM
Not really. Prototype came out but that's just a rental. The DLC has been pretty good though with point lookout and the burnout paradise island.
baby sea tuna @ Jun 29th 2009 3:05PM
I'm with you, man. Since I finished inFAMOUS, Fallout 3 DLC has kept me from even being interested enough to play anything else.
God, I want to marry that game (please don't tell my girlfriend!)
Mr Khan @ Jun 29th 2009 6:18PM
see, if you just changed "not really" to "not so much for me," you would draw much less unwarranted angst
Alistair Azimuth PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Jun 29th 2009 2:33PM
The trailer for Call Of Juarez 2 intrigued me when I saw it a week or so ago. The game looks like good fun but something about the graphics and animations looked off to me and I'll wait until I can try it first before buying it. I'm still playing Cross Edge and Infamous right now anyway so I'm not in a big hurry.
kentuckyfried @ Jun 29th 2009 4:16PM
The art doesn't look as polished as some other games, but it still looks like alot of fun. I'm hoping it picks up at least an 8, otherwise I'll wait a little bit until the price goes down.
Joanna D @ Jun 29th 2009 2:34PM
I cannot wait for Street Fighter IV. It's going to be amazing getting the achievements again in what has been the game of the year so far for me.
SidearmS @ Jun 29th 2009 2:35PM
I am SO READY for the PC version of Street Fighter IV. It is about time we had a new GFWL title since all the others one before this one (Batman, Red Faction, Fuel) all were delayed into late summer.
If anything, it will make me forget how aggrivating GTA IV on the PC is for me.
XBox 360 - Because the time has come to properly THANK Capcom for this release by buying it.
Nathew @ Jun 29th 2009 2:36PM
i'll kick all yer butts in worms ;)
NukeAssault @ Jun 29th 2009 2:36PM
BlazBlue for me! Been watching matches and it looks like a lot of fun. Ill wait for sweet mods for SFIV to jump into that. GTA Trilogy looks interesting as well though.
MystileArmor @ Jun 29th 2009 2:38PM
Just got Magic: The Gathering for the XBLA. Great game and it's surprisingly very addictive.
I also recently found Oblivion GOTY edition on clearance at Target. Since I've never played it before (yeah yeah, I know.. where have I been?), that'll tie me over till Secret of Monkey Island will see the light of day.
By the way, I'm not sure who knows it or not, but if you buy Magic, when you first start it up you get a code. Enter that at the website they give you for a limited edition magic card that they'll send in the mail.
Cosmo (formerly Chin-Poh) @ Jun 29th 2009 2:41PM
I think we may also be able to play BlazBlue on the PC soon because the arcade system for the game, Taito Type X, uses PC hardware like an embedded version of Windows XP, Intel Celeron, etc. Some other recent arcade machines also use PC hardware like Sega Lingbergh, Europa and RingEdge.
I'm hoping maybe a PC emulator is not far off. : )
Luke @ Jun 29th 2009 2:41PM
PSN has that Punisher game coming this Thursday.
Storm Eagle @ Jun 29th 2009 2:43PM
I'm all about the BlazBlue this week. The footage of that game makes my eyes feel good.
Come see me on release day: FoXGameR
Storm Eagle @ Jun 29th 2009 2:43PM
That's on the PSN. Sorry.
Neuromancer @ Jun 29th 2009 2:44PM
Bound in Blood should be interesting, good Westerns are few and far between.
CJLopez @ Jun 29th 2009 2:45PM
i'll be holding on BlazBlue for the momment. KOFXII is so close that it would take my attention from the game
6_h!t-combo @ Jun 29th 2009 4:07PM
Actually, the release date for KoF12 got pushed back to July 20th.... T~T
Giroro @ Jul 2nd 2009 1:20AM
I get depressed everytime I find out people care about KoF. they've struck out 11 times in a row
samfish (uses the Joystiq Comment-Kill filter!) @ Jun 29th 2009 2:57PM
Eventually I intend to buy BlazBlue, but I'm gonna hold off for now due to financial considerations and the fact that I intend to trade my 360 in for a PS3 in the next few months.
baby sea tuna @ Jun 29th 2009 3:07PM
Mistake!
Ch0ppa @ Jun 29th 2009 3:08PM
WHY would you ever do such a ridonkulous thing such as trade in a perfectly good XBOX for a PS3? For Shame!!! (incite fanboy response here.....)
WiredKnight @ Jun 29th 2009 3:35PM
Good for you man. I got myself a PS3 a few weeks ago, and haven't played my Xbox since. Not that I'm never going to again, just saying that the PS3 is an awesome machine and is receiving most of my attention right now.
acefondu @ Jun 29th 2009 3:46PM
Yay welcome to the world of free online! It's quite refreshing not paying $50 a year for no good reason.
Sly @ Jun 29th 2009 4:22PM
i recommend any of the following: infamous, killzone 2, valkyria chronicles (
Sly @ Jun 29th 2009 9:47PM
my comment got cut off here but it shows up fully in my post history... weird...
Ch0ppa @ Jun 29th 2009 11:26PM
Yeah $50 a year is like soooo such ($4 and some change a month). If you cant afford that then you damn sure cant afford a Xbox 360. Plus not all of us pay full price, got my girlfriend and I both 12+1 subscriptions for $20. I even think they had an article here on Joystiq bout eBay selling 12+1 for something low like $27.99. I'd rather pay my measly couple of pennies a day for an online experience VASTLY superior to PSN.
P.S.: Dont ask how I got 2 12+1 subs for $20, cuz I'll never tellllll..........
vask @ Jun 30th 2009 1:31PM
yea but ppl like myself dont use online for any more than 1 or 2 games on occasion so it not really practical to pay the fee and that only adds to the expenses that system is costingi have a live gold account and its almost gonna expire in september but ive only played 2 games online with that gears and halo which i dont like either one as much as COD4 which i already own and play on my ps3 free of charge live is a waste of money,i dont care party chat or any of those features. i cant even play a game online without paying some kind off fee. the features and extras fine but the actual play itself makes it unappealin.
Access Granted @ Jun 29th 2009 2:57PM
I'm getting KoF 98' and Fable 2 knothole. I barely held off buying Garou Mao or whatever it was called.
Roto13 @ Jun 29th 2009 2:58PM
Nothing for me this week. Which is just dandy, because I've bought eight new games in the past week. >_>
Kdiggy @ Jun 29th 2009 3:02PM
Still busy with Monster Hunter thank you very much.
Leroy_Octopus @ Jun 29th 2009 3:10PM
It's been sooo long since I played Worms. I need to blow something up with a sheep.
S. Tiger @ Jun 29th 2009 3:14PM
What?! No Ragna sceencap?
TrumpetDan @ Jun 29th 2009 3:23PM
Nothing in the way of new games for me this week (still catching up on Jeanne D'Arc and Infamous), but I am picking up something on dvd this week... the first season of Parker Lewis Can't Lose!
I freakin' loved that show!
j0e @ Jun 29th 2009 3:37PM
stoked on blazblue, still hooked on SFIV though. would like to see a few reviews before dropping $60.
acefondu @ Jun 29th 2009 3:48PM
IGN gave it a glowing review, check theirs out.
S. Tiger @ Jun 29th 2009 10:54PM
BlazBlue > SF4
Dumbapple @ Jun 29th 2009 3:50PM
Tuesday spam on retail. :o
Nothing for me this week.
Metoo @ Jun 29th 2009 4:19PM
It's been a sucky summer for demos, aside from the Uncharted 2 beta.
Desert Eagle @ Jun 29th 2009 5:24PM
Man, I'd buy Blazblue this week... if I only had a TE Fightstick. That game looks like fun, but I just can't play on a 360 controller since it feels so weird for me. :(
