Unless my eyes are broken — which is entirely possible after way too much Scrabble — Splinter Cell: Conviction and Super Street Fighter IV are the only new games on the list. Again, there weren’t that many big releases in April so seeing the usual suspects makes total sense. It also makes this month’s list kind of boring. The one thing that makes me happy is seeing Pokemon trounce the world. Tell me again that Pokemon is dead. Tell me!!!
What the hell is Just Dance and who the hell is in charge if that apparent goldmine?
@N8R It's a casual game from Ubi Soft. It's crazy popular…and I don't know why.

Pokemon is de…
Pokemon is dea…
Pokemo….damn I just can't do it!
Yeah I really cannot think of any great games that came out this past month, and I never thought that Splinter Cell: Conviction looked that great. I know I only played the demo, but the control scheme was not something I liked at all. I thought the way that goals and objectives were showed was pretty cool, and the story is supposed to be pretty good as well. Especially for long time fans. But it just didn't do it for me.
Only game on that list I've played is God of War. Splinter Cell and Bad Company 2 have been sitting on my Gamefly Q all month to no avail. Nothing else on that list interests me in the least.
So does that mean a game actually finally sold more on the PS3, Super Street Fighter IV?
Did everyone else like Splinter Cell Conviction, I am the only that didn't?
one of the proud of owners of SSFIV on PS3!
