Our Pick of the Week: After negotiating around the retail isles filled with five
new animal-care titles, pick up Devil May Cry 4. As always, avoid the
embarrassment and humiliation of the Collector’s Edition, sending a message to
publishers, that you won’t pay twenty bucks for promotional junk and a fancy box that won’t fit on your shelf. Instead put that twenty dollars toward Culdcept Saga, a game that combines elements of Magic: the
Gathering with Monopoly.


Crazy Cover Art of the Week:
Publisher Destineer captures the authenticity of the barrio (helicopters swirling overhead) with the uh, imagined, (UFO’s, cholas in pink sportscars, perfectly coiffured young men racing low riders). Who’s the audience for this?

  1. That is some weird shit. Never heard of it, and never want to play it.

  2. Devil May Cry 360 for me. I loved the dmo, but hope there a bit more challenge, my entire life bar was intact after ten minutes.

  3. Twisted Metal: Head-On, apply directly to the head. Missed opportunity for product placement, there, Jaffe.

    Turok seemed really bad, underpowered shotgun, dinosaurs that knock you down, taking you out of the game for a few seconds.

  4. Devil May Cry seems just like the third one, but with better graphics. I’ll probably try Culdcept Saga. I have the PS2 version and still play it occasionally.

  5. DMC4, I want to make him cry like a baby.

  6. I wish there was a songlist for karaoke Revolution. Can u use Rock Band Mic?

  7. Destineer will put out any kind of crap. I hope they go out of business.

  8. Are the Homiez supposed to be Mexican, Peurto Rican, or what? No one I know looks close to that. Looks like NY with the buildings.

  9. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Rise to Power FTW

  10. Who/what the hell are the Spiderwick Chronicles?

  11. How bad will Assassin’s Creed for DS be?

  12. What’s up with the dudes hair on Homez cover? Looks kinda gay.

  13. My wallet won’t cry, I’m not buying anything this week 😉

  14. Downsteam Panic looks like it will satisfy my Loco Roco urge.

  15. I might bite on Twisted Metal if the price is $19.99

  16. DMC4>everything else combined.

  17. C’mon, you don’t have a Homies collection? I have a poster of them, made by my uncle in prison.

  18. My Horse and Me? That’s got to be rated “M”..

  19. I near DMC4 is the first must-have game of the year.

  20. Just picked up DMC4!!!
