New Releases 6/28-7/4: Red, White, and BlazBlue Edition
Just after a week after those 'robots in disguise' began their assault on our consoles, a conspicuous teen wizard and a prolific pack of creatures from the glacial age make the transition to interactive entertainment. We're thinking that brothers Ray and Thomas McCall from Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood will cross mediums, reinvigorating both the game adaptation and the Hollywood western. That's is, unless the nefarious Uwe Boll gets his hands on the script.

DesertEagle's Pick: While Battle Fantasia didn't quite capture the sybaritic charms of the Guilty Gear games, BlazBlue is a purported return to form. Now that the SF IV audiences are dwindling, this title may be a summer refuge for fighting fans. Western fans may want to check out Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Just be sure to stick it out until the game's second act- the game improves markedly.
TideGear's Pick: Though I'm a Guilty Gear fan, I'm going to wait for the inevitable upgrade version or versions that BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is bound to receive as Guilty Gear has. Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament left me a bit cold at E3 but hopefully the final version will change my mind. I'm also looking forward to the new Roogoogames as well as Mega Man Star Force 3 Black Ace but my pick this week is Trine! It reminds me of LittleBigPlanet with an emphasis on gameplay over customization.
SeanNOLA's Pick: I'm a sucker for a good western, so I'm pretty psyched for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. I let the first CoJ game pass me by, and I really regret that - I'm hoping that Bound in Blood will be a solid stand-alone title, otherwise I will have to go discount bin diving to get the whole experience.

Yeah, I could go for Steambot. I hope there's more than just battling in it, and it has a decent story.

BlazBlue is getting the love from me.

I have never played a Harry Potter game, and hope never to.

Mega Man Star Force 3 if reviews are good.

BlazBlue might just end up the first game I use the Mad Catz SFIV TE FightStick I have sitting in my room - unopened. I preordered that stick but didn't receive it until after I already played near a thousand matches of SFIV on a d-pad.
