New Releases 11/30 – 12/6: The Prince of Stockholm Edition


This weeks sees the return of some old favorites, from a feisty extraterrestrial, Iran’s famous young nobleman, to the sweet sounds of Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid. We plan to call out local Gamestop asking for, “Burger Island, Happy Cooking with a side of Mushroom Men“, just for kicks. If they fail to acknowledge our flippancy, we’ll ask if their Wordfish is fresh. Yeah, that’s how we get our kicks.

DesertEagle’s Pick: I’ve always been a fan of the Prince of Persia series- I even owned the original game on my Commodore 64. So, I anticipate picking up this title. I love karaoke and enjoy 70’s Swedish super-groups, but when I heard Singstar ABBA was retailing for $40, I had to say Mama Mia! I’ll wait for the inevitable price drop on this one.

TideGear’s Pick: Yes! The new Prince of Persia is almost here! This one looks even more awesome than the previous games and I love those. That’s a definite buy for me. After that, I’m intrigued by Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, Heavy Armor Brigade and Prince of Persia: The Fallen King. I’m interested in SPRay and Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi but I’m a bit skeptical. We’ll see!

  1. You guys are weird.

  2. I’m getting Prince of Persia for the 360.

  3. DE, you’re a strange one. You love most war games and all FPS, though you sing ABBA?

  4. I bet you’re the only site to use ABBA in your New Releases picture this week. Take that Joystiq!

  5. WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE PSP GAMES? DAMN YOU SONY MAY YOU ROT IN HELL

    Oh, but please continue to support the PS3 from the confines of Hades.

    Love,
    Mr. Peanut

  6. I predict you will review at least three of these games and give them all A’s or B’s.

  7. As long an one of those in Prince of Persia, all is well.

  8. What kind of instrument is the guy on the right playing?

  9. He’s a Dancing Queen 😉

  10. Wordfish smells rotten. Throw it out.

  11. Back on topic, I’m getting Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories

  12. Can’t wait to try the new Prince of Persia game, it looks awesome!

  13. With a name like Family Party: 30 Great Games, they sure as hell better all be great. Anyone know what ‘great’ games are on there?

  14. I saw another New Release list that misspelled “SPray” as “Pray”. Not too many kids are going to want to play that.

  15. A guy can’t love guns AND disco?

  16. Prince of Persia here.

  17. Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon

  18. I cant resist any Vampire game, even when they spell it with a Y.

  19. I wish Burger Island was a super version of Burgertime!

  20. LOL! You’re crazy.

  21. Prince of Persia

  22. There’s really only one choice this week.

  23. Nice pis.

  24. I love the name Animal Boxing. I see a Tiger and Bear squaring off.

  25. Nothing for me this week.

  26. Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories

  27. What songs are on the ABBA Singstar game?

  28. Both the PS2 and PS3 get:

    * “Chiquitita”
    * “Dancing Queen”
    * “Does Your Mother Know”
    * “Fernando”
    * “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)”
    * “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do”
    * “Knowing Me, Knowing You”
    * “Mamma Mia”
    * “Money, Money, Money”
    * “One of Us”
    * “Ring Ring”
    * “SOS”
    * “Summer Night City”
    * “Super Trouper”
    * “Take a Chance on Me”
    * “Thank You for the Music”
    * “The Name of the Game”
    * “The Winner Takes It All”
    * “Voulez-Vous”
    * “Waterloo”

    While the PS3 gets an additional 5 songs:

    * “Happy New Year”
    * “Head Over Heels”
    * “The Day Before You Came”
    * “Under Attack”
    * “When All Is Said and Done”

    Remember, Singstar Vol. 1 and 2 for the PS3 offering 30 songs for $40. Now, players are only getting 25. Also, I anticipate the video quality to be lacking, as any footage comes from the 70’s.

  29. I got to say, I really like this site. You should write some editorials, Mr. Eagle.

  30. ABBA, huh? I guess That Mama Mia movie brought them back.

  31. Singstar ABBA

  32. Looks like the good stuff is hiding until the new year.

  33. How the hell is ” Despereaux” pronounced?

  34. TideGear, Why Mushroom Men on the DS instead of Wii?

  35. Wordfish. Yeah, like a games going to sell with a name like that.

    Good Luck!

  36. Heavy Armor Brigade looks good

  37. Thanks for the info!

  38. I still looking for Ninjatown.

  39. Please no mawr games till next year!

  40. TideGear (Adam Milecki)

    “They’ll only see bell bottoms as their life slips away… This Summer… Robert DesertEagle Allen is GUNS… Adam TideGear Milecki is DISCO!… in… GUNS… AND… DISCO!!!”

  41. TideGear (Adam Milecki)

    It burns! I will forever remember the name Anony… oh, wait.

  42. TideGear (Adam Milecki)

    “DESS-PAIR-OH”

  43. TideGear (Adam Milecki)

    Ninjatown is great. Not quite as good as PixelJunk Monsters but still a lot of fun.

  44. Too many BF/cyber Monday deals to buy anything else this week.

  45. I just got some e-mail from Gamestop stating that I should receive a classic prince character. Anyone know anything about this

  46. Is that like the Last King of Scotland?

  47. Cant be any worse than Transporter 3.

  48. The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga (The King of Fighters 94-98)

    has been due for three weeks now. What’s going on?!?!

  49. Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi for me.

  50. The Destroy All Human series should be destroyed. It jumped the shark years ago.
