New Releases 5/24-5/30: Virtual Voyager Edition
With settings as diverse as the cyberpunk wild West, the Siberian Coast, and a nihilistic urban city this week’s new releases have us trekking across the digital globe. For those that prefer actual excursions, there’s Personal Trainer: Walking, a title that motivates players into walking 3000 steps a day- the exact distance to our local retailer. Could this be mere coincidence?

DesertEagle’s Pick: Some are calling inFAMOUS, ‘Crackdown with electricity’, due to its open-world, clean up the city gameplay. With it’s visceral combat and Sucker Punch pedigree, the game looks to be a required addition to any PS3 owners library. The RPG geek in me is thrilled both Cross Edge and Crimson Gem Saga are out this week. Contentment +2, Productivity -5.
TideGear’s Pick: This week’s pick is pretty easy for me, The Munchables! It’s from Namco Bandai and looks like a combination of Pac-Man and a Katamari game with a bit of Super Mario Galaxy. Yes, please!
Wow, there was ZERO hype for Damnation. Was it sent to die?
inFAMOUS, I hope it’ll give the PS3 a needed dose of popularity.
The Munchables. Pac-man+Katamari=Win
Cross Edge is out, hell yeah!!!
inFAMOUS
What’s this? A new Delta Force game? DE, why no thumbs up on that?
I don’t know infamous left me a bit cold. Stopping to get off the train and fix those stoplights wasn’t too fun.
If the price is right on the Fallout 3 Game Add-On Pack, I might bite. Give me a discount Bethesda.
I’m sure that was just one part of the early game. Did you see the combat sequence at the end of the demo?!? That was amazing!
inFAMOUS, ’nuff said.
Crimson Gem Saga, RPGing on the go!
I heard Personal Trainer: Walking comes with a dog collar as well as a pedometer. True?

If Damnation could be had for less than retail price, I’ll get that.
Arg! No real songs. What a disappointment.
Infamous for me.
Fallout 3 pack
Damnation sounds cool.
The inFAMOUS demo really left me wanting more.
Rolling stone sounds good
Cross edge is a must get.
I might have to get my Munch on.
Good selection of song, but yeah, done by cover artists, I’m skeptical.
Which packs are included?
Nothing really great. No discount on the XBLA games?
Up is hitting everything? Wow… Does Disney have no shame…
Nothing but crap on the DS this week.
No pick from SeanNOLA? He must not like this weeks new releases.
Cross Edge- NIS RPG love!
is inFAMOUS today or tomorrow?
Will you guys review inFamous?
OMG..I almost forgot Cross Edge came out. Thank god for this. LOL AWESOME!!!
