This Week’s Games
Plenty of interesting new games for DS owners this week. There’s the evergreen RPG Chrono Trigger, Age of Empires, Konami’s Time Hollow and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and also Nintendo’s TV-advertised Mystery Case Files: Millionheir. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 only have two new games out – the motorbike-laden Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box and Rise of the Argonauts, which apparently a bit rubbish.
On Wii there’s Mr. Bean’s Wacky World of Wii – which looks suspiciously like the Mr. Bean game on PlayStation 2 from a few years back – plus Cooking Mama 2 and the extortionately priced re-release of Pikmin. £29.99 for a tarted up old GameCube game really isn’t good value for money, Nintendo. Especially when the superior sequel is also going to be re-released later in the year.
Next Week: Ben 10: Alien Force, Deadly Creatures, Destory all Humans: Path of the Furon, FEAR 2, Bolt, Race Pro, Shellshock 2 and The House of the Dead: Overkill.
Hey Matt – fascinated by the reference to Prefab Sprout. New ablbum of theirs out this week, first for years. Very excited here!
It’s easily the best band name ever.
Second best? Simian Mobile Disco.
