This Week’s Games
Without a whiff of sarcasm, it’s a good week for new releases. Fable II has been a long time coming but looks like being worth the wait, and both Far Cry 2 and EA’s twisted survival horror romp Dead Space have been getting a lot of positive attention.
Then there’s Midnight Club: Los Angeles – and also the PSP version Midnight Club: LA Remix – while Spider-Man: Web of Shadows has crept out on all formats. Reviews have been mixed to say the least – everything from 51 to 98 percent. Yes, really.
On the DS there’s Transformers: Animated and Atari’s What’s Cooking? Jamie Oliver, which will probably do all right in the charts.
Next week: Fallout 3, the presumably rubbish James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace, Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant and Manhunt 2.
