New Releases 6/21-6/27: Maul, Brawl, and Fall Edition

Depending if you prefer a vigilantly sharpened blade, sculpted flesh, or just cold, hard steel, this week has a multitude of ways to engage in combat. Sequels to the Dynasty Warriors, Fight Night and Transformers series assure radical changes to existing game engines, allowing games to kick butt in a multitude of new and fascinating ways. Giddiness ensues!

DesertEagle’s Pick: Two titles are garnering my attention this week. Dawn of Discovery will likely satisfy cerebral needs, with a historically inspired RTS evolved from the wonderful Anno series. The Conduit on the other hand, should fulfill any requirements for single and multiplayer FPS action, and looks to establish itself as the new apex of technical achievement on Nintendo’s console.

TideGear’s Pick: I really want to pick
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite but unless they added a decent camera system, I just can’t handle it. Don’t disappoint me, Capcom! My pick this week is The Conduit. It’s similarity to my beloved Metroid is probably only aesthetic, but it still looks pretty cool.

SeanNOLA’s Pick: The Monster Hunter games have always eluded me: they are so close to
Phantasy Star Online, and yet the solitary play style I associate with
the PSP has always kept me from playing for very long.  Hopefully, the
changes promised in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite will spark that
passion I have seen in so many 100+ hour Monster Hunter veterans.

  1. Haha, nice title!

    Conduit for sure!

  2. Not picking FN Round 4 makes me question your masculinity DE!

    LOL.

  3. Overlord has puzzles and action. You should have picked that one.

    I’ll be grabbing that one for sure.

  4. Dawn of Discovery has my attention now. Why did they change the name?

  5. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP will keep me busy for a while.

  6. The Conduit and Transformers will make me broke this year.

  7. Fight Night Round 4 for me. Ive heard nothing but great things for it.

  8. Wow, a lot of great games coming out this week. Conduit could the be mine if the metacritic/tech-gaming scores are good.

  9. Overlord: Minions

  10. Racoon City Wino

    Transformers. I hear it’s pretty awesome for a licensed game.

  11. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor needs some love!

  12. I’ll get those robots in disguise.

  13. Dawn of Discovery for wii.

  14. I bet they’ll be over 82. Videos make it look very fun.

  15. The big question is Autobots or Decepticons for DS. Why couldn’t they include both?!?!

  16. Fight night 4

  17. Overlord for me

  18. Don’t laugh- My Healthy Cooking Coach

  19. Call me crazy, but I cant resist the Dynasty Warriors series.

  20. Conduit only. I get enough brain exercise in college.

  21. Speaking of college, the title pretty much sums up my early 20’s 🙂

  22. Where’s SlowGear and SeanNOSHOW?

  23. Will the PSP version of Transformers turn my unused hardware into a robot?

  24. At least SleepingEagle awoke to write the new releases :p

  25. Overlord 2. The first one got overlooked for sure. I played through it twice and am working on a third.

  26. Well, I didn’t pick Fashion Week Designer Jr. did I?

    Had the publisher removes the superfluous suffix, I might have picked it 😉

  27. Relax- they’re likely playing games with Dad. Which is the way this day should be spent 😉

  28. How come your pics (screenshots) never match your picks (of the week)?

  29. Dawn of Discovery

  30. Buttaface Lover

    nuttin’ for me this week.

  31. RocksontheScotch

    Conduit should do it!

  32. Me neither. I hope 6 is more than just a face-life.

  33. There’s actually a few good games to choose from this week. If I see a deal on Dawn of Discovery, I’ll bring it home.

  34. Ok, now all three have their picks.

    I’ll go with Overlord, once the price hits $30 or so.

  35. Conduit, most likely.

  36. DW6, here I come.

  37. I’m curious as to how the Pangya: Fantasy Golf series will be on PSP. Anyone know what kind of swing system it has?
