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.

I dont really give a crap about dark wang, but damn do you all need to jump on the guy ?, its made all of you look like a bunch of whiney w***ers.. Seriously, if you dont like the guys comments just ignore ...
I read his comment which was pretty harmless then read the responses, read your own responses then tell me that what you did was right ...
I love how every one that reads this site thinks that some how they are the moderators and / or site owners of the site..

You forgot Little King's Story for the Wii. According to many reviewers that is a great game.

On the plus side, it'll give us a chance to help get caught up with games. Be it to purchase games we didn't have money for back then, or to just beat games we have bought, but haven't beaten.
Silver lining, people, silver lining.

Not a single AAA title? Ouch. Good thing I've got plenty of catching up to do...

I'm interested in Blazblue, but history has shown that I am terrible at fighting games. I might pick it up later.

Pretty sure you guys have the wrong image for KOF12

From the previews I read Wii Sports Resort looks to be pretty good so I might end up picking it up.
Maybe BlazBlue as well as I am hearing great things about it.

Wii Sports Resort: So big it needs its own month to itself

Wii Sports!
Tiger is awesome, but this will really show how good/bad motion plus will be in the games to come.

NCAA Football 10 for me! Well that and BF 1943 and Fat Princess(if released) on PSN.

Yikes! Glad I picked up Monster Hunter. That should keep me busy until Final Fantasy Dissidia next month. I hope Fat Princess gets released this month.

Nothing terribly exciting for me this month.
And my wallet is thankful.

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.

i want g-force just to be small in a normal environment. i'll have to keep an eye out for it's price to fall.

Actually, I'm stocking up on all the games I missed from 6 months ago. Gears of War 2 is now around $39, among a few others. Still waiting on Street Fighter 4 and Fallout 3 to drop in price though...

I'll have to patiently wait for Wii Sports Resort. Especially if Watchmen has any hint of blue wang in it. I don't like the gratuitous use of blue wang. Actually, I don't think I can say I like the use of blue wang at all.

I can agree with them on this month being a slow month in gaming. Was there ever a July that wasn't?
That being said, I've been impatiently waiting for WiiSports Resort ever since E3. Can't wait to do some sword-fighting.

What's with the downer note about 2D fighters? KoF an SF are two of the best franchises. It's kind of odd and frankly, "noobish" for a gaming website to talk lowly of them.
