  1. That’s a f^ckton of releases right there. I can wait on Battlefield for the first sale.

  2. At first I was worried that Battlefield might come out too close to COD4, not that game has a decline in play, this release time may be perfect.

  3. Hellboy is HUGE compared to the monkey and wall-e.

  4. Rockband for the Wii is going to sell millions! Even without DLC.

  5. With Wiifit I put on five pounds, so I’m getting My Weight Loss Coach to pack on a few more.

  6. Alone in the Dark will suck eggs. Mark my words. Everything Atari touches turns brown.

  7. I had no idea this many games were coming out this week.

  8. Why the Hellboy pic, is that game supposed to be good or something?

  9. No love for Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath? It’s going to be $40!!!

  10. Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm
    for me.

  11. What the hell is a cornucopia?

  12. Two 360 RTS in one week? Am i in heaven? Now, which should I get?

  13. Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3) is mine. Are you guys going to have a review?

  14. Thanks TG, nice new look!

  15. Nothing too tempting. I might hold onto my dough.

  16. Oh, Operation Darkness I know you’re no good for me. But I can’t resist you.

  17. Gourmet Chef,so I can learn to cook noodles 😉

  18. Kane would be the wise choice.

  19. Wall-E the game and movie both look like there are for little snotty kids. I’ll stay far way from both.

  20. IS that a still from the pic. You spoiled the movie for me. Know I know he steals a baby. 😉

  21. Wall-e does look too kiddy.

  22. Does the Ikea game come with frozen meatballs and logenberry juice?

    Do you get lost in the gigantic store and feel like a rat in a maze?

  23. Did you count Alone in the Dark in the licensed games?

  24. I’d rather watch the two Coreys then Wall-E.

  25. Operation Darkness is a must get. Vampires and Nazis!

  26. Another ‘sports’ title this week for the wii?

  27. I can believe they are still making MegaMan games. Who still buys these?

  28. It’s a Pixar film, it’s bound to be good. Toy Story,Monsters Inc, Nemo, Cars, Incredibles, Ratatouille. They never miss.

  29. C&C Kane’s Wrath for me.

  30. Saving my money for another week.

  31. Why all the Wall-E hate? Don’t know if I’m going to buy the game, but I’m definitely seeing the movie!

  32. 47 games and nothing worth getting.

  33. It looks like that damn little robot doesn’t talk. That could make for a painful 90 minutes. I could be wrong, though.

  34. Hellboy II> Wall-E

    Movies, that is. Games, they will both suck.

  35. Wall-E will be good. The game not so much.

  36. Yeah, but he makes cute sounds. C’mon…R2D2 didn’t talk and who doesn’t love that lil’ guy?? Besides the commies…

  37. The Ewoks didn’t talk, they were cute, so let’s make a movie about them.

    oh, wait…SNAPS!
