Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
With the Summer gaming drought still affecting now-gen consoles, Wii and PSP owners should prepare for a satisfying downpour of diversions. Between Team Ninja’s interpretation of Samus’ space skirmishes, a Clue-inspirited whodunit, and a pair of memorable light-gun shooters, Nintendo owners better have their Wiimotes charged. The same could be said for enthusiasts of Sony’s portable system, who not only receive two solid system exclusive this week, but have Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Gladiator Begins, and ClaDun – This is an RPG! in the immediate future.

DesertEagle’s Pick: The recent Valkyria Chronicles 2 demo eliminated most of my skepticism- it seems the code wizards at SEGA have successfully translated the contiguous strategy of the original PS3 title into portable form.
TideGear’s Pick: Despite the confusing initial reviews, Metroid: Other M is definitely my pick, as Metroid is my second favorite game series of all time. Valkyria Chronicles 2 is also a must, but I should probably play more of the first game before diving into the sequel. Lastly, Ace Combat: Joint Assault interests me as an Ace Combat fan, but I’m actually a bit disappointed by the shift to real-world settings.
Now, I’m first for a change.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 for sure.
call me crazy, but I’m interested in Gunblade NYC & LA Machine Guns
Dead Rising: Case Zero is dlc, right? Know how much its going to be?
No Metroid: Other M pick? You’re wacky Deagle!
Is that a promise there will be no more Camp Rock games, or it is “Final” as with “Final Fantasy”
Wheres the hell is Nancy Drew this week. Is seems like she has a game every few days.
NOLA, what is the preorder bonus for Valkyria Chronicles 2 ?
Capcom, why must you use such a similar shot to push Dead Rising: CZ?
Whats with the title? I don’t get it this week? Aren’t the zombies slow in DR?
I might try Dead Rising: Case Zero, if theres a demo.
Maybe that the zombies are in good shape from being in almost every game these days.
So should put the stuff that’s going to be on the Playstation Store.
Is is a demo. A $5 one.
I liked the first Ace Combat on PSP. I might have to get this once it drops in price.
Dead Rising: Case Zero is a kickass idea. I cant wait to play.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 for me. I cant wait.
I’m not surprised. He’s a strategy geek.
I’m just glad to see some PSP games that I might want to play.
Dont tell me you miss here already?
VC2 is preordered and waiting for pickup.
Metroid: Other M. I have every game in the series, so I hope this doesn’t disappoint.
My only purchase in August will be Valkyria Chronicles 2. That comes out the 31st, right?
Filthy Party sounds better to me.
Metroid for me. I’m worried because it getting some really mixed reviews. Sounds like they should have left it with Retro Studios.
Metroid deal for those intersted:
-Buy Metroid Other M, Receive $20 Gaming Coupon
-$20 on either Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Brothers, and Super Smash Brothers with purchase of Metroid: Other M.
-Save $20 titles with Metroid: Other M to include Mario Kart and the groundbreaking Metroid Prime Trilogy collection for Nintendo Wii.
A decent week, except for PS3 owners.
I bet one of the other guys picks it.
I’ll rent Metroid: Other M before I give it a buy.
All the Other M hate has me scared that I won’t like the game.
VC2 for me, yo.
Nice info. Thanks.
GI seemed to hate Other M. I think ill cancel my preorder on it.
Prison Tycoon: Alcatraz? The Rock: The Videogame would be awesome.
Yeah, I’d like to know as well.
Dead Rising Case zero!
Looking forward to Metroid: Other M
Dean Rising and Metroid! This week is going to rock!
I might give Other M a try if I can get it on sale.
SeanNOLA just told me his pick was “Camp Rock: The Final Jam”. He was too embarrasses to post it, but hes a big Jonas fan. 😉
thats not true- He’s got a total Bieber fetish.
Dead Rising: C0 here.
Dead Rising: Case Zero for me.
Valkyria Chronicles 2: with special appearance by Beibersaur.
Does a Beibersaurus eat Ragnite?
Any of you guys ever watch the anime?
Ace Combat: Joint Assault AND Valkyria Chronicles 2. My PSP is going to be very busy this week.
I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I might marathon it tonight before I dive into VC2. I really loved the characters in the first game, and I having an opportunity to relive that story in another medium.
review that, mang!
I haven’t played LA Machine Guns in YEARS.
There’s one at my local bowling alley. The left gun is broken tho.
Dead Rising Case Zero. I can’t wait for the sequel.
Alright, Brohams – I’m watching it now. So far so good, but the tone is WAY off…
it’s Anime. What do you expect? They can make Auschwitz funny and Disneyland gloomy. That’s why I love the Japanese.
Are you going to review it?
WHAT?
Tell me about this Guilty Party!
Just picked up Ace Combat: Joint Assault
