New Releases 7/27-8/2: The Interior Diameter of Our Self-Awareness Edition


This week hardened fighting veterans Mitsurugi, Taki and
Raphael return, while handheld console owners must fight off software hunger
pangs. Additionally, critically acclaimed bobbleheads revisit consoles with their
feature-rich baseball game.

Pick of the Week: 
With newly integrated character creation abilities, tag-team battles,
and online play, Soul Caliber 4 has significantly refined its core gameplay.
Budget minded gamers may want to ride out the initial hype however- both Soul
Caliber 2 and 3 quickly dropped in price after their release. While we predict
the price trajectory will fall slower than in past generations, keen eyed
gamers should be able to score the title for forty dollars in September.

  1. WTF is up with that title?

  2. SC4 and maybe MLB for me.

  3. You guys are too smart for our own good – what the hell is up with that title? Sounds like something in a philosophy class.

  4. Spectral Force might be worth a peek.

  5. This whole article is brought to you by the riddler.

  6. I figured it out. Too bad you don’t have spoiler tags, guys.

    It’s not too much of a head scratcher.

  7. Supposed to sound like a JRPG title?

  8. I got it, too!

    Hint: Its a bit backwards.

  9. An Olympics game maybe. I’m thinking the Wii one.

  10. Soul Caliber for me!

  11. Got the pun; it’s not hard and it’s not a JRPG either!

  12. nothing for me.

  13. Like stated, I’ll wait for SC4 to drop in price.

  14. I can’t figure out the title… Picking up MLB Ps2

  15. I got it. Tech-Gaming got 800’s on their SATs.

  16. Guys, it’s not that hard to figure out.

    Interior diameter=’caliber’

    self-awareness=a universal catch-all for ‘soul’

    Do the math from there.

  17. Dontfeedthatrolls

    I would have never figured that out. Thanks!

  18. I heard you have to pay to play as yoda. True?

  19. Ps3 has vader, 360 has Yoda. You’ll probably have to pay for the other character on both systems.

  20. Is Kratos in the PS3 version?

  21. Ok, I figured it out. Not too hard! Keep the puzzles coming!

  22. Although 1up released a rumor indicating it might be true (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168394), it looks like Kratos will NOT be in the final version.

  23. When do we get a review for Soul Caliber?

  24. Yeah, Id like an honest review of the game.

  25. Desert Eagle,
    You rarely disappoint on the Pics of the Week.

  26. Hopefully tomorrow; Wednesday at the latest.

  27. I think I’m going to pick up No Releases for the PSP. I hear that one’s pretty cheap.

  28. Once you play, there’s no stopping.

  29. Picked up SC4 today.
