Weekly Releases (10/1) +

[bobman37]

CoolBoarders 2 is the best snowboarding game ever made.

[WarpRattler]

The Beatles: Rock Band.

Darkest of Days is a first-person shooter where you travel to different time periods and kill everyone by using present-day weapons.

Arcade Zone appears to be Chuck E. Cheese in video game form minus the prizes and the occasional Neo-Geo machine.

I'm a bit leery of how well a game like IL-2 Sturmovik will work on the DS.

The saga concludes with Super Return of the Jedi. Supposedly this is the only one that can be finished by a human/non-Jedi Master. I imagine I'll get around to proving Lizard Dude wrong about this (by beating Super Star Wars or Super Empire) when he gets around to beating my Multitask score.

The PSP port of Disgaea 2 gives me hope that what happened with the first game will eventually follow.

bob's game may or may not be released tomorrow.

[ShadowBrain]

LBP: Game of the Year Edition... pfft.

[Weegee]

The Beatles: Rock Band.

Despite having preordered it weeks ago, I still jizzed heartily upon seeing its release mentioned here. Who else is getting it?

[Mr. Wiggles]

Muramasa is my game of choice for this month.

I just need to get my Wii repaired for the 3rd time.

[SolidShroom]

What is this Contra Rebirth that nobody, not even Warp, has mentioned?

[WarpRattler]

It's basically just a new 16-bit-style Contra game for WiiWare. Nothing out of the ordinary.

[Ninjap00]

Mais que diriez-vous de Scribblenauts?

[WarpRattler]

My French is a little non-existent, but: next week.

Technically not a new release, but Dungeons & Dragons Online officially relaunched as a free-to-play game today. Most of the content can be accessed by a free account by earning the purchasable currency in-game - and from what I've heard, you're not missing much if you ignore the few things that do require an actual purchase. The character I made earlier is on Ghallanda, if any of you want to make an account and try to deal with my connection (he's a cleric, in case you know what you should be doing with character creation in relation to a party). The installer download is ~3.4GB, so dial-up users need not apply.

[Glorb]

It's an MMO, so dial-up users need not apply.

Fixed.

[WarpRattler]

More like "broke" - just ask anyone who played EverQuest back when it came out and the mass market only had dial-up.

[Glorb]

First time I tried to play a non-flash game that required an internet connection, I had dial-up.

Jesus, it was like four frames an hour.

Batman: Arkham Asylum on PC has some fancy PhysX effects.

Majesty 2 had an awesome trailer. There was another strategy game in recent memory that had neat trailers but no gameplay to back it up. From what I understand, this isn't like that at all.

In a week of big-name PC releases like the two mentioned above and the PC versions of Red Faction: Guerrilla and Resident Evil 5...the only PC game I'll be buying any time soon is Zuma's Revenge!.

Unless I'm mistaken, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story still doesn't work on most R4-type devices, so you would-be pirates will just have to spend the $30 for the game. Boo. Hoo.

Supposedly Toys-R-Us is giving $15 gift cards to people who buy Scribblenauts Tuesday only. I'd take advantage of this deal, but it'd cost about $15 in gas to get to and from the nearest Toys-R-Us, so I'll have to buy it elsewhere. You guys should definitely buy it there if you can, though.

Bubble Bobble Neo! is another 800 points I'll have to spend when the time comes for me to start spending points. Not Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge, though.

And for Deezer we have the tag team of It's a Girl Thing! My Boyfriend and It's a Girl Thing! Princess in Love.
