Top 5 Gametart Games: Upcoming Releases (360)
Gamer geeks BEWARE: gaming goodness is on the horizon! Start saving your duckets and start working on your gimme-game-time-honey excuse list! Super virtual sportage is coming our way including a couple titles I have been jonesing over since word first hit the street. 5 games in 5 weeks - in order of Dawngrrls uncontrollable excitement:
NUMBER 1
Shut Up!! When I first heard the rumor that NG2 was set to hit the 360, I almost pee’d my gamer girl panties! Inarguably one of my all time favorite games was Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the PS3. I hated that it didn’t release on the 360 and I am quite certain that it, at least in part, led to my interest in The Devil May Cry, which had some similar styles. I may have to slip in some vacation days for some alone time with Ryu. I remember the pain Alma put me through in the ninth level. Floozy. Oh my god I can’t wait.
Release Date: Jun 3, 2008
NUMBER 2
If you skipped the Start Wars Lego series, stop. Seriously, stop whatever your doing, right now, go to your favorite retail or game trade hot spot and pick it up. This game was so much fun! Instant playability, super cool character trade off, beloved story, totally RAD use of the force, and you can play it while the kids are still awake…! You cant say that for many of our favorite titles these days that send us to the darkest hidden recesses of our homes to play the blood and gore in private. Top this kick ass example of the bitchenness of Lego Games with the in kind and super timely release of Indiana Jones and its GOTTA BE some fine times on the controller! Rock on with Harrison and get Bouffed (shea lebouf) with the new big screen Indiana Jones and pick up Lego IJ just 2 weeks later. Okie dokie Doggy Daddy?
Release Date: Jun 3, 2008
NUMBER 3
Here is the reality: Lost Planet was way overlooked in the accolade department, and though this is not a sequel as much as a rewrite from the original: the game was definitely good enough to send me to the store at the end of the month for new content, new environments, perspectives, 3 new single player modes, and an ass load of new achievements for the achievement whores (ahem…not me…obviously.)
Release Date: May 27, 2008
NUMBER 4
The fascination with renegade warfare continues in the newly vamped Battlefield version designed for prime time console action! Bad Company brings the cutting edge destructible environments and tracing missiles; massive military mayhem (24 multi max); Conquest will be a free download after release. “I’m a soldier not a damn movie star..!”
Release Date: June 23, 2008
NUMBER 5
We see big screen blockbusters hit the game release boards and we start yawning, if we stop and take notice at all, right? Every once in a while one comes along that rubs you the right way and gives you a good time. Maybe the powers that govern our virtual movie/game desires are listening. I played a couple of demos and think we have a potential buy. Its fast paced action just like the movies and follows the storyline pretty well. The melee / action scheme felt a little clunky; of course part of that is adapting to the controls. Shooting has a good feel to it, and despite the cheap ass looking reticle, the graphics look fly. It may very well be like the one you had a great time with but didn’t want to admit it to anybody. One of those surprise buys that keeps you up till 3am staring deep into each others eyes for a little hanky panky away from the tried and true. I guess we’ll see!
Release Date: June 3, 2008 and its promising.
Kiss Kiss,
Dawngrrl Gametart
