Despite a 140-year crater between franchise entries, Reverend Ray McCall’s stilted fire-and-brimstone chatter still permeates through Call of Juarez: The Cartel. With dialog which includes zingers such as, “And I saw a pale horse, and he who sits upon it, and his name is Death. And he has a bullet with your f%#king name on it.” the title may have transformed barren cat-houses into neon-lit strip clubs, but the nefarious banditos are still in need of salivation at the end of a carbine. Some things never change.

DesertEagle’s Pick: By delivering an action-RPG with sumptuous hard-painted artwork and an interactive narrator, developer Supergiant Games might as well reach into my pocket and pull $15 out. I’m powerless to resist a title like Bastion, which feels like a high-def recreation of beloved 16- and 32-bit real-time adventures.
BlueSwim’s Pick: PlayStation 3 owners should jump on Comix Zone with two feet. It’s a tough beat-’em-up, but its stylish comic book panel levels are unique and definitely worth playing through. It should be noted, though, that Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection is a much better deal than buying Comix Zone separately. Either way, get it.
I heard the new Call of Juarez looks rushed and is not worth even $20.
Captain America: Super Soldier might be worth a try even though I know 85% of movie/comic games suck.
I’d say 90 after gameflying Thor/Green Lantern.
I’ll only pick up with Smurfs if the game gets an M-rating and I can pimp Smurfette out in a prostitution sim.
Is Catherine out yet?

Sigh….
CoJ games always have the worst dialog. It’s like they are translated for something.
I would just as soon let Casey Anthony babysit as pay $60 for Call of Juarez.
If Comix Zone the old Genesis game?
Yep! That’s the one. 😀
What’s the early word on Cap, Deagle?
Things never change? Correction- War never changes.
Limbo is just a little bit late, isn’t it.

How did you post an image?
There’s a button below the add comment button now.
Very cool.
My pickup will be:
badass pic. I’m going with Steve Rogers too, reviews be damned.
I heard Dead Block was pretty weak.
Bastion seems cool, but I need to see more of it.
Too short, but I’ll take it.
Nothing for me this week, but I might try Bastion.
Bastion looks really cool.
I still havent played Bound in Blood. It’s in my pile of shame.
Comix Zone is $5.00, so finding a copy of the Sonic Collection is the way to go.
Cap will be captured this week.
Anyone want to bet that Call of Juarez: The Cartel will drop to $30 before September?
Sage and NOLA are too busy for picks this week?
