New Releases 1/4-1/10: Colder Than a Snowman’s Heart Edition

This weeks biggest release centers around a crash-test dummy with large aspirations. Not only is Cid the Dummy being released on four platforms this week, he is also looking to reinvigorate the two dimensional platfomer. We wish our yellow and black clad hero the best on his heroic endeavor.

DesertEagle’s Pick of the Week: With it’s unique amalgam of shooting gallery elements and environmental puzzles, Elebits was a capable Wii title. I hope the DS conversion retains most of the original game’s charm.

TideGear’s Pick of the Week: Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero looks like it could be quite cool. It’s definitely a departure from the original Wii title which I did like. Moon looks interesting but shooters, not to mention portable shooters, have to do something different to really hold me. Lastly, Cid the Dummy might be fun but I must say I’m a bit skeptical.

  1. Is CID the Dummy made up? I’ve never heard of it, and I follow the new release schedule pretty avidly.

  2. Sake 2? That sound awesome. Cant wait for that one. I love me some of that boom-boom rice juice.

    Skate 2 is the 21st, dude 😛

  3. Fishing on the wii could be done right, but I doubt ‘Fishing Master World Tour’ is a must have game.

    Imagine casting, getting feedback when the fish bites, and using the nunchuck to wheel in the fish.

  4. Yeah, I’m waiting for Skate 2 also. RE5 and SF4 are my next purchases.

    With releases like this it’s easy to stay on track.

  5. Cid the Dummy sounds like European shovelware. I guess the reviews on Metacritic will be about 50-60.

  6. Who you calling a dummy, dummy?

    J/k It’s Armyant and no purchases for me. Any DLC this week?
