Ok, perhaps we are being a bit unfair calling this weeks headline release, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, a demo. It does contain seventy-six cars, but a disappointing six tracks. Worse, the game has a fluctuating framerate that chugs around corners, which the final release should fix. While the game does have online multiplayer, there are no custom races, or match making to speak of. Despite all these misgivings, the title is still recording very high pre-sale numbers. Let’s examine the alternatives:
Xbox 360
Nothing
Playstation 3
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
Wii
Dream Pinball 3D
Okami
Summer Sports: Paradise Island
PSP
Nothing
DS
MLB 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars
Cory in the House
High School Musical 2: Work This Out!
Rondo of Swords
PS2
Nothing
Pick of the Week: PS2 and PS3 owners should wait for next week’s enhanced rerealese of the PS2 RPG, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES. Wii owners should carefully examine the beautiful Okami, if they’ve never played the PS2 title. Finally, DS owners hungry for a bit of strategy could much worse that Rondo of Swords.
I’m tempted to pickup GT5:P, but I should wait for the full version. It has some serious issues, but then again it’s only $40 bucks. Maybe, I’ll wait for a price drop.
Hey no doom and gloom about new releases. Well, I guess for 360 owners there’s nothing out there.
I might look into Rondo.
I’m surprised there’s no love for Dream Pinball. You guys unabashedly love the old-school here.
I can’t wait for Shin Megami Tensei next week. I rented the first, and this one supposedly has much more content. I’m glad I waited!
Change title to- Nothing worth buying edition.
Sorry, but I can’t wait for a high def Gran Turisimo!
Nuthin’ for this 360/PSP owner
The UK version of GT5:P came out months ago; so I thought the American version can fix the framerate. They did add some features to the game.
Two Disney DS games? Man, they turn that crap out!!
Aren’t you guys being harsh of GT5? It’s not really a demo, IS IT?
Another sad week for new releases!

IGN said “Don’t call it a demo, call it a first look preview”. I’m calling it payoff
Bought GT5:P today. Regret it. You’re right, it feels like a demo. Those other site are full of it.
