Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
With a number of high-profiles releases this week, publishers are poised to place player’s wallets into a submission hold. While a number of sequels are expected to line stove shelves, an exciting amount of new properties are prepared to scrap for your discretionary income. Certainly, Blur, ModNation Racers, Dawn of Heroes, and Hexyz Force all seem like solid freshman franchises; time will indicate which titles will prevail.

Making History II: The War of the World
DesertEagle’s Pick: In my review, I gave an unequivocal recommendation for Super Mario Galaxy 2, a title which is destined to appear on many ‘game of the year’ lists. While both ModNation Racers and Hexyz Force may not receive the same universal accolades, both appear to be intriguing abysses eager to swallow my waking hours for the next few weeks.
SeanNOLA’s Pick: This is a very dense week, and there is a lot to look forward to: If last year’s game was any indication, UFC Undisputed 2010 will be a favorite for fight fans – that might be worth checking out if you understand all the nuance. Blur will probably get my weekly 60; I’m not a big race fan, but I can get behind balls-out kart racing in real(ish) cars!
And the other two?
I always see new Backyard sports games, but I never meta single person that bought one.
Im getting SMG2 for sure. Maybe tomorrow.
Modnation for sure, the demo was awesome!
Why tghe UFC pic when so many other great games are coming out.
This week is going to KO my bank acount for sure.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
I might have to get UFC this week.
Good week for games.
Hexyz Force for me.
I’ve been waiting for Blur
A pirate and a torrent game? Wow.
Interested in the soldner sequel. Hope this one isn’t balls hard.
Dawn of Heroes seems cool!
Modnation is my pickup this week.
Good week for PS3 game.
Just got SMG2. 8 stars in and I can’t seem to quit.
ModNation will be mine!
Its a PSP week; I’m getting both Hexyz Force and ModNation Racers.
wheres Karnov and SNOLA?
Adams Is there.
One question Which witch is Witch’s Wish? 😉
With the NBA playoffs, its been tough to get some quality game time in.
Are the River City Soccer hooligans related to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_City_Ransom
Whose beating up Deagle in the pic? LOL.
Great game the other day, BTW!
Does Color Cross come with a free CrossColors shirt? If so, I’m in.
I wonder if NOLA will pick SMG2 for the trifecta.
Every notice how the guys cheat and pick 2-5 different picks?
“Pirates Plundarrr” sounds like one of those fake trivia question answers.
Yep, I loved the first one. Hopefully, there’s enough change to make it worth $60.
“Let’s Paint” might be good for the kids. I’m surprised no one has made a good drawing program for the wii.
The modnation demo seemed so cool. Making tracks was pretty easy.
Damn, what a bad time to be broke.
I liked the Blur demo, but it didn’t assure me the game was worth the price.
Just got Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is so incredibly fun.
Did you guys know that Viral Survival is a NIS game?!? No fights from Nola and deagle!
I still need to get Red Dead.
I might go big with SMG2 and ModNation.
Which is better Blur or Split/Second?
There’s been a lot of games with Monster in the title lately.
I hope Super Mario Galaxy 2 is as good as everyone is saying.
Modnation. I might have to pick it up for both systems. Anyone know if there’s any data exchanging between each version?
Blur could be good, I just feel bad giving Acti my money.
Nope, foiled again.
Where’s our Split/Second review? You mentioned it on the podcast…
Adam, maybe you can review Art Style: Light Trax (wink, wink) I wouldn’t want the other guys touching it.
ModNation is getting a midnight release. Pretty amazing.
I cant wait for ModNation.
What is Viral Survival, Tide?
Blur looks hot. I liked the demo!
Yup, and it’s made by the same folks that made this… https://tech-gaming.com/2009/04/15/route-candle-review.aspx
Haha, we’ll see.
Here’s the trailer…

Thanks, Adam. Seems like it might be cool. At least the shooter part.
