New Releases 1/31-2/6: Groundhog Edition
With a trifecta of Dante's Inferno, Bioshock 2, and Aliens vs. Predator imminent in the next two weeks, the first days of February might be a much needed reprieve before the deluge of high-profile action titles. At least that's the case for console gamers as diversion-seeking PC owners have a variety of games to choose from this week.

DesertEagle's Pick: Despite being released to lukewarm reviews in Japan over a year ago, I'm still excited to try White Knight Chronicles. With a resume that includes Dark Cloud 2, Rogue Galaxy, Jeanne d'Arc, and the Professor Layton series, Level 5 has offered a consistantly enjoyable collection of games- let's hope this one lives up to the pedigree.
TideGear's Pick: In my review of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, I stated that I was hoping for another game in the series. Well, I got it! The early buzz for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat seems good, and I'm hoping this is the game that the previous entries were grasping for.
SeanNOLA's Pick: While we were being escorted through Sony's booth during E3, we were presented with a kiosk displaying White Knight Chronicles. Before escaping to play Pixel Junk Shooter, Tidegear said "NOLA, this looks like your kinda thing." He was right, I have been fascinated by the concept of White Knight since it was released in Japan 2 years ago, so needless to say, I'm a little bit excited to see it hit our shores.
What a crappy week.

I might have to give S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat a try, Tide. I actually really liked the last two ones.

Would you want to release a 360 game the week after Mass Effect 2?

You go a point there.

Maybe NOLA is gearing up for the bowl, and too busy to post his picks.
Reply to this
Haha! This isn't too far from the truth: I was honing my Cajun Deep Fried Chicken skills in preparation for the Superbowl. FYI, it was amazing.

You better give us the recipe during that podcast or face the consequences.

So if the ground sees his shadow will we have 6 more weeks of bad releases?
Reply to this
No, we pretty much already know what games are coming out in the next 6 weeks. But if the Hedgehog sees his shadow, it'll be another 6 weeks of delays for Alpha Protocol!

Readers, please don't encourage SeanNOLA more than necessary. I'm afraid his black and old gold face paint is going to get all over his disks, controllers, and keyboard.
He's probably getting a 'Gumbo the Dog' tattoo as we speak

It's hard to get too excited over a two year old PS3 game.

Good time to catch up on m backlog.

White Knight Chronicles wants me to buy it.
Reply to this
I'm sure Imagine Reporter wants you to buy it too, but that it's probably less likely to get its wish...

Whats that the say about a snowball's chance in Hell?
Reply to this
I cant IMAGINE buying that one.

I might have to pick up Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun for the family.
