This Week’s Games
So, Saints Row 2 has turned out to be pretty good. Early previews suggested that the developers had gone down the twisted and brutal path by turning up the violence, but from the looks of things in the last few months of development they’ve had a change of heart and turned it into a crazy fun-fest. A limited edition version is also available which comes with a USB stick shaped like a bullet. Word.
Pro Evo 2009 is also out this week. Review scores have been high, as always, but this year FIFA 09’s have been higher. Bioshock on PlayStation 3 is out as well, which is well worth getting – it’s one of the best FPS games in years – and it also contains a trailer for Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams. Golden Axe: Beast Rider looks like one to leave though. No reviews means avoid.
On DS there are not one, not four, not seven, but three Littlest Pet Shop games out. I bet they’re all completely different from one another.
Next week: Fable II, Far Cry 2, Dead Space and the mysterious Disaster: Day of Crisis on Wii.
