According to the ESRB, about six percent of games are given the M for Mature rating each year. Yet, between the release of Bulletstorm, Killzone 3, and Knights Contract, this week’s percentage is closer to 23%. Although certain pseudo-scientists may make wild speculations based on the number of adult-oriented title,we offer only one prediction: diminished bank accounts across the land.

DesertEagle’s Pick: The original de Blob was my pick of E3 2008, and garnered one of the first ‘A’ grades on our site. I’m eagerly awaiting the sequel, which adds some side-scrolling segments to the returning 3D hop-and-bop, color splashing.
SeanNOLA’s Pick: XSEED Games has yet to disappoint me with their recent PSP revivals of the Ys series. Although I’ve already played through a handful of Books I&II ports, I’m still very excited to see if XSEED will go three for three with Ys I&II Chronicles.
Sorry, but the Bulletstorm demo didn’t do shit for me.
Wasn’t Trackmania for Wii supposed to come out like- last year?
Radiant Historia for me. I got it preordered.
Was Amnesia: The Dark Decent the one Sage talked about a few week ago? It’s getting rereleased?
TINcan! Escape?
That’s really a game? Does it come with a old tomato soup can as a peripheral.
Me, neither. Don’t feel bad. I was bored before it was over.
Where’s Tide and Sage’s pick this week?
Just Radiant Historia for me. I still need to get DQ6, too.
Ah, EverQuest it’s been years. Have you missed me? We used to me so close, spending all our free time together.
Another epic Ys review, guys?
What games were on the Dreamcast Collection?
The guy from Bulletstorm has small feet. You know what they say about guys with small feet, right?
Yep, that was. I think it was her first or second week on the show.
I thought it was cool, but not worth a $60 purchase. Maybe if they included the GoW3 beta with it, I’d bite.
is de Blob 2 a full priced game?
Never heard of Knights Contract. Whats that?
I’ll be playing more Rise of Nations next week. Just picked it up on the cheap.
Wow, you really liked De Blob.
Maybe Bulletstorm.
Yeah for M-rated games.
I’m getting K3 this week.
I hope you guys review Radiant Historia! That’s the only thing that interests me this week.
I think my buddy hooked up with the Gonorreia sisters when he was overseas in the navy.
Another Namco-Bandai game that is sent to die. I’ll wait until it’s $15 like Enslaved is. 5
Killzone 3, what else?
So Ys got pushed back a week?
For a while I thought it was just a Katamari rip off, but it’s a really great Wii game, one of my favs.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Do you mind me asking where you got it from and how much you paid?
NOLA sounds like he doesn’t even want to go to E3. What’s up with that?
Some people would rather read the DieHard Game Fans’s and Tech-Gaming’s than IGN’s and 1Up’s shit.
“We are taking scheduled spots from Giant Bomb, IGN, etc”
So wrong, Sean.
NOLA, that’s why there’s appointments for publishers, and meeting rooms.
You sound like some of the big sites should get a free pass- remember D-toid (as bad as it is) started by wanted to get into these shows. Joystiq writes really crappy stuff, you obviously care about review. Why would you let them take a spot?
Sounds like NOLA got a rejection notice and Deagle got in. I bet that’s the case.
I might pick up de Blob 2 this week. Should I go for the 360 version is stick with the Wii controls?
Gemini Rue is a made up name, I just feel it.
Um, why are you guys talking about that in the new release thread? That should probably be in the podcast one.
Radiant Historia might be worth a purchase. Well see how the review are.
I’m hearing great things from K3 from fans. I guess the gaming press is confused.
No interest in Knights Contract it seems. Videos look kind of cool.
Ys I&II Chronicles will be mine tommorrow!
de Blob 2 got an 8 at IGN. That’s got to be a good sign.
BTW- If you are getting Bulletstorm you may want to pick it up at Best Buy. For $5 more you get Gear or 1, 2, and the DLC.
You should tell us what demos are coming out too!
I’m loving Killzone 3 so far. Worth the cash!
I hope KIllzone 3, Radiant Historia, de Blob reviews are coming!
Yep- where are the reviews.
Where’s our Bulletstorm review? I know Deagle is playing this right now.
Question for next show- What elements are necessary for a game to be considered GOTY? Storyline, Epic scope?
