We're just gonna come right out and say it: July 2009 may be the worst month for new retail releases ever. Unless you like 2D fighters that is, because in that case, it's awesome. Or games about movies about hamsters, those two groups are being really well serviced.
If you haven't fully prepared yourself for the horror, we'd suggest you gird your mind with all the reason and clarity you can muster before continuing on.

Damn rights, I've been waiting forever for that. Rock Band Beatles, Forza 3, and then I'm done for the year.

You know it's a bad month when Wii Sports is the headliner, and looking at the whole list...yup, definitely a bad month.

I'm the wrong person to talk to about 2d fighters (or 3d for that matter). I'm in the camp that feels like if you played one of them you've more or less played them all.

Yeah, but it's still a minigame collection...uh...game. I could not fathom spending money on one of those.

tmac, I'm sure I've ever seen you say a nice thing about ANY game. What would you spend money on?

Boy if only Samfish knew how stupid he looks right now, it's actually pretty funny.

lol we got your back samfish, everyone on joystiq knows you're awesome
The only reason I can think of for Joystiq to not ban Tmac, who is a known professional troll, is because he drives comment counts and traffic on their site up up and up!
this is the first time i've ever posted about him. Now I kind of want him banned because its really getting to be a lot of mindless drivel on here.
Are you listening Wii Fanboy? stop letting your site turn into shit.

I like how I can not troll for weeks and still have whiners somehow complain about me. I don't know if it's a testament of my acting abilities or the IQ of some of you. Even Joystiq said this is probably the worst month for games ever, so by me echoing that you must be calling all of them trolls too.

It's a testament to who you truly are, genius. As another astute poster pointed out, a troll can't self-diagnose a troll. Keep playing, you'll keep failing. You're clearly pre-disposed to being a nintendo troll, so nobody expects any less. Good news for the diluted, you win!

I wish you could report comments for just being annoying...unfortunately he remains on topic and isn't trolling :(

You're the annoying one, because you're the complaining.

no people who complain about someone's comment that isn't trolling or saying stupid shit are annoying

Wang you fall under the saying stupid shit category of your above post. Lets take a look at some of your recent posts to reinforce this.
"THE BIG 2!! HELL YEAH!!!!!"
"May I have your attention please.
FUCK GREEN DAY!!!!!!" - I don't even like Green Day and I found this annoying.
" I'm gonna buy one.
NOT"
"IM FIRST!!!!!
There are so many people to thank! Joystiq of course and my Wang Tang powers."
" Stare into my name to see your future." - you posted this at least 3 times.
"then how did you find out about DSG? hmm
THIS IS TOP SECRET INFORMATION DAMNIT!!!!!!!!"
If you could stop posting a lot of us would be thankful.

Hell, don't stop posting, just stop posting stupid things trying to be funny. The thing is, you're going the Jack Black route of trying to be funny. Yelling everything doesn't make it funny, nor does becoming immediatly defensive. We just got rid of the biggest troll here for a while and you step in and start acting a fool. We don't say these things without reason.

Don't be a baby about it, just stop trying so hard. People don't really like your comments. Look above, the majority of them have been downvoted. There are already enough funny people here, you're not one of them. Like Duke said, slow it down a bit...you've literally posted 50 comments just today.

Markez it's "THE BIG 2". Wang, no one is pissed, we just find your comments annoying. Basically we're laughing at you, not with you.
