DesertEagle’s Pick: As a dungeon dweller who cut his teeth on the original Bard’s Tale, Ultima, and Wizardry, The Dark Spire looks to take me back to a time of Reaganomics, Depeche Mode, and Alf. What other readers have 80’s gaming memories?
SeanNOLA’s Pick: I played the original game until my fingers were callused,
so naturally my pick is Samurai Shodown Anthologies. Demigod looks
pretty cool too, but with such tepid previews, I’ll need to play it
before I get too excited.
TideGear’s Pick: Oh dear, a bit of a slow week. Another shocker, I’m going to have to go with The Dark Spire! I’ve always had an interest in the 3D corridor RPGs of yore, but I’ve never quite found “the one”. Perhaps, this will be it?
I played the shit out of Excitebike during that era, DE.
Nothing for me this week.
RC pro Am, which I played about 10 years after it’s release. Does that count?
Dokapon Journey is the reviews are solid.
Demigod
Escape the Museum is a rip-off of that bad Ben Stiller movie? Hahaha
The Dark Spire
Most of my gaming was in the 90’s-2000’s. No purchases this week.
they need to make an Excitebike clone for the Iphone.
Why did you guys completely ignore Samurai Shodown Anthology???
Careful, I’ve heard from beta players it’s not that good.
What game is the new release pic from?
What a sad week for gaming 🙁
Cryostasis is out? I’ll be nabbing that one.
I might have to get this two after seeing some screenshots.
SeanNOLA knows where it at.
Hopefully, we’ll get some decent games in the next few months. This week has nothing that interests me.
Would kind of DLC will be out this week? Any games you guys would like to see?
I’m waiting for that Wolverine game.
I’d like to see a NAVY SEALS DLC level where snipers rescue a ship held by Somalian pirates 😉
If Zipper isn’t working on this, hopefully the Ubisoft people can pick up the slack.
It’s one of those ‘find the hidden item’ games that sweeping the casual crowd. They tend to give me a headache, if I play them for long periods of time.
HAHA, someone give this guys a contact.
City of Heroes: Architect Edition
I want Samurai Shodown Anthology, but I’ll wait till it drops to $20.
Tidegear’s missing again, huh?
I’m here!
No games this week? This is great news! I have a backlog of games to play such as Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5, Little Big Planet, etc,
That remind me that I totally forgot about LBP!
What’s it selling for?!?
What will you guys review this week?
Very weak week.
I like your guys picks. Man, Desert, your an old fart.
Flattery will get you nowhere!
When did this turn into right-wing gaming?
I might give the old Doka a run.
Demigod
So little of interest, maybe next week will be better.
Samurai Shodown Anthology, for sure.
I’m so excited for Demigod, can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Definitely looking forward to Demigod
SSA, tommorrow!
When American lives are threatened, do you suggest the US should sent flowers and chocolates?
And whats wrong with that Ernest?
(Note to self… Flowers and chocolates camouflage…) $_$
How about explosive Chocolates Muh-ha-ha!
No 360 games this week? That’s disappointing.
Where are the XBLA, PSN, and VC game release lists? You guys should consider doing a separate one for those or appending them after the retail releases.
My entry for Halo Wars is as follows:
I always thought Samurai Showdown had a “w” in it… which may seem like a non-intelligent comment to make as an entry, but I actually feel smarter for reading this site and finding out the correct spelling. Thank you Tech-Gaming.
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz around The Dark Spire, assuming the people are into old-school gaming. I think I’ll look into it more….
I’ve been playing games for 25 years, and didn’t realize also until a few months ago. Don’t feel bad!
