New Releases 2/28-3/6: Singing, Swinging, and Shooting Edition

Some of life’s simplest pleasures can be found on a console near you this week. Whether your passion is nailing notes, curve balls, or truck loads of enemies, there’s a diversion that will likely appeal to any gamer. With the commencement of spring training, it’s little wonder that this Wednesday also sees the release of ten baseball SKUs.

DesertEagle’s Pick: I was pleasantly surprised by the the first Battlefield: Bad Company, and have returned to its single player game regularly. With the proficiency shown by the recent multiplayer demo, I am extremely excited for the series’ sophomore effort.

SeanNOLA’s Pick: A lot of interesting releases this week: the early edition of Mega Man 10 will be an easy pick-up for those of you with little to no attachment to their gamerscore, and what little I’ve seen of Alice in Wonderland on the DS looks intriguing.  However, loyal podcast listeners will tell you that I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on Lunar: Silver Star Harmony.

TideGear‘s Pick: This seems like DesertEagle’s week to soar through tons of military action. Me? I’m conflicted. I’d like to believe that Silent Hunter 5 won’t be impenetrably complicated, but I’d almost certainly be wrong. Toy Soldiers seems much more manageable, but will it be much more than a stylized RTS? Supreme Commander 2 seems more promising than the first, but the first left me pretty cold. As for Mega Man 10, I’d say it’s my pick, but it doesn’t seem as special this time around. Luckily, there’s a good chance one or more of those titles will be good. We’ll see!
