It’s a pretty exciting week for February! SSX makes a triumphant return and lots of people are saying that it’s a thrilling ride. Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition is out this week too…just don’t tell RPadholic Big Blak. Sega’s Binary Domain is flying under the radar if you’re looking for some Gears of War-like gameplay. Hardcore Japanese RPG fans will want to pick up Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk-II. It’s not for Pokefanatics like RPadholic bsukenyan, but millions of gamers are sure to love PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. The Nintendo DS gets some demonic excitement with Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2.
Normally, I don’t include DLC in this roundup, but I’m completely excited for the downloadable Final Fantasy XIII-2 goods hitting this week. Sazh Katzroy — the coolest single-father in gaming? — returns in an add-on adventure. And yes, I’m totally downloading Serah’s beachwear costume. At least I can admit it.
How about you? Any new games for you this week?
Picking up SSX in the morning tomorrow.
SSX is a ton of fun. I don't know that I would want to pay $60 for it (or any other game right now for that matter) but I think there is a lot of value in this game. I wish I would have had a little more time to play the game, but I beat all the 9 deadly descents in the world tour.
I've heard the Pokepark games are good, but I don't think I could really play anything other than the main games (maybe another Pokemon Ranger game, but only if I had some kind of incentive like a free Mew or other legendary that I could transfer to the main games).
No new games for me. Rented wwe12 and UFC 3. Hopefully I can get my hands on ff13-2 by Thursday before the free rental promo ends.
DIdn't see SSX at the store or I would have picked it up. I loved the first one but haven't played one since.
I did get Binary Domain though and I'll let you know how it is later in the week.
It is my understanding that Big Blak and N8 have already had their little bout in MK. I'm not exactly sure what transpired, but doesn't this mean that we should stop ragging on Big Blak for ducking N8?
-M
Dude, he just jumped away from me the whole time until the time limit expired.
Then he wanted to marry me and have my baby in Fable 3.
My wife was playing the Sazh DLC tonight. It looked pretty lame.
I disagree. You play gambling games for an hour and get some nice cutscenes. After that, you're left with a great synergist crystal that can be used for the main game. That's the real value.
Story isn't really the point of the DLC. Secondly, with all the time paradoxes happening, this is your problem?
I haven't played it a lot, but I've seen the wife play quite a bit. I'm like 75% on just passing on it myself. I don't like the battle system. I don't like the characters. I don't like the story. I find this sad, because I haven't really liked a FF game since FFX.
