Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
Whether enjoyment emanates from procuring headshots with a Barrett M107, beating stuffed foes senseless with a baseball bat, or just wiggling your wand at encroaching Death Eaters, this week’s new releases offers an array of ways to eradicate enemies. Players less interested in direct opposition also have a few choices- they can take on calories or literature with a few divergent Nintendo selections.

DesertEagle’s Pick: As a certified shmupologist, I have my sights locked on two shooters: Deathsmiles and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor. If hard-pressed for a pick, I’d recommend the later, as the typically sadistic Treasure team if reaching out to both neophytes and calloused-fingered veterans.
SeanNOLA’s Pick: There has been a lot of positive prerelease buzz surrounding NaughtyBear, but I can’t help but wonder if they’ve tipped their entire handtoo early. I’ll probably end up grabbing Hot Shots Tennis when/if it evercomes to PSN, because I just know it will be a great bus stop game.
Too many Abitas for NOLA, and dreams for Karnov? 😉
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Lego games are always worth the money.
I’m getting Sin and Punishment: Star Successor today. Oh, yeah.
Desert, why did you snub Sniper: Ghost Warrior? Please explain!
Naughty Bear looks like it COULD be fun.
He’s getting weak on us 😉
Actually, he’s probably adopted a wait and see attitude. Unknown developer.
Did you guys see the N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights press conference at E3? Awful…. just awful. Shame of the show.
All Points Bulletin. I expect NOLA and Karnov to wake up later today (although not together) and post.
Whats the buzz on Singularity? Worth getting?
Anyone know what Vampire Legends: Power of Three is about? RPG?
It’s out today? (runs out door)
What will you guys be reviewing this week?
I’m looking forward to Puzzle Quest 2. I hope they do something new with it!
Wait, you didn’t mention Trinity Universe, DEagle?
Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip was hard as hell!
Real (virtual) soldiers play ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead 🙂
Junior Classic Books & Fairy Tales? Getting kids to read on a DS seems impossible.
Myst is a new release? What is this, 1992?
IS the Winter Blast combo any good at all?
The Harry Potter demo was really good. Different from the other Lego games. I might have to get it.
Deathsmiles!
Maybe Naughty Bear, if he’s not too naughty.
The correct answer this week is Sin and Punishment.
Thinks have been pretty quiet, but Raven usually comes through. Id say proceed with caution.
Here’s the link:

Weird very weird. Did you guys go to that?
So N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights has one mirron warriors on scween?
Yep and by Naughty I’m think a B/80% or better.
I’m sure the guys will review it.
Singularity and Sniper: Ghost Warrior both have my attention.
Better that most weeks. Lots of ‘could be good’ tiles.
HP for me!
Since Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip is selling for $20, I might have to get this.
Only one down-loadable game this week?
I really need to try the game, but I’ve heard the framerate falters on even the best machines.
I’m curious as to how Sniper: Ghost Warrior does.
Wow, that was embarrassing. Did they even write a script for him?
Well see about Naughty Bear. I’m expected just average reviews.
NOLA’s picks are up. I think he hates the Wii.
I’ve actually been waiting for TNA Impact: Cross The Line
You’ve been copied. They even do the ‘pick of the week’ stuff http://www.ripten.com/2010/06/27/new-game-releases-range-85/
Weak, the ripten writing is no match for our Deagle!
Singularity may bet a purchase, unless my wife puts her foot down.
Where’s Karnov?
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 for me.
Lego HP for me.
If Naughty Bear fights Naughty Dog, who wins?
No pickups for me this week 🙁
I agree with Nola- HST could be cool.
HP 1-4 for me. Demo was very cool.
APB, here I come!
Aw, you’re being too kind!
Yep, while the concept has me excited (I loved Sniper Elite for Xbox), you are right- I’m being hesitant with my optimism. I’ve been burned a few times before…
I was thinking about The Last Airbender.
Anyone remember when they used to include MovieCash in new games? What ever happened to that trend?>>
A twitter feed, huh?
I liked to the first Puzzle Quest, so I’ll be trying the sequel out.
I remember, the program sucked because you could only go to certain movie theaters. I still have some certificates around.
Some decent stuff this week.
Picked up S&P. Pretty good.
Could be time to get my Snipe on.
My pick is More Sleep and maybe IndieGame 12: Return of the Polygon
What? Is this real?
All Points Bulletin seems like a winner.
Seconded!
No new reviews or Tide picks? Fail!
Where’s my new podcast?!?
Tide pick is ‘being done’? Let down…
I am posting because I want to win the toy soldiers dlc
