New Releases 2/7-2/13: To Hell and Back Edition
This week's new releases transport us to exotic locales: far-flung solar systems, underwater cities, feudal Japanese dungeons, and the fiery depths of hell. For those that seek more familiar destinations, there's always the dirt covered racing tracks of terra firma offered by World of Outlaws: Spring Cars.

DesertEagle's Pick: After hearing the developers aspirations for BioShock 2, I'm cautiously enthusiastic for the title. While Star Ocean: The Last Hope doesn't present any new gameplay elements (offering gamers Japanese and English voiceovers, six selectable text languages, and a two different menu styles) players that missed last year's 360 expedition may want to check this one out.
SeanNOLA's Pick: Lately, I've been hearing a lot of analysts say that demos can hurt a game's sales, but EA has offered the rare preview that has single-handedly piqued my interest for a game that I had previously been aggressively apathetic toward. I am no longer embarrassed to say that I am genuinely excited to play Dante's Inferno.
TideGear's Pick: Though it is an excellent game, I never succeeded in finishing the original BioShock. I'm currently remedying that! I'm nervously looking forward to BioShock 2, but I think they'll do right by the Shock name. How about a System Shock 3 next? Bring back the cyberspace diving from the first game!... Surprise Shock-like twist!... Despite all that, my pick this week is actually Shiren the Wanderer!
Got to get that BS2. Nice job everyones here this week!

Sorry, NOLA the Dante's Inferno demo was weaksauce. Just a GoW clone, nothing special.

What will you guys be reviewing?

Some decent game this week. I'll probably wait on BS2. Early word is that's it's more of the same.

Bioshock 2 is my only pickup.

Dante's Inferno if reviews are good.
Reply to this
Reviews for DI and BS2 are good but not great. I can wait.

Wasn't Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun supposed to come out last week?
Reply to this
I can't see a Scene it? game being fun on a DS. Let alone a Twilight game...
Reply to this
The Daring Game for Girls?
I think 'that' game almost got me kicked out of school
Reply to this
World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars was surprisingly fun for the Xbox.
Reply to this
What about Blaster Master Overdrive????
Reply to this
I might pick up Bioshock 2 eventually.
Reply to this
I assume Super Money Ball: Step and Roll is for the Wii balance board.

Cant wait for the next podcast. I sent a question for Desert.

World Cup of Pool. Cause Pool on a DS sounds like the perfect game on the subway.

I'm hoping Bioshock's 2 MP is worth giving a hoot about.

Best Friends Tonight
and the sequel...Strangers tomorrow.
Reply to this
What kind of game is Stargate Resistance?
Reply to this
I'll be honest, I had never heard of it before researching new releases this week. I used to be a big StarGate fan - I even muscled my way through the Genesis game with the lousy "bad ending" punishment. Hopefully this turns out alright...
Reply to this
Hopefully, it's not a 2D shooter/platformer made by Acclaim!
Reply to this
I'm waiting on reviews before I make my decision.
Reply to this
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is coming out before the movie?
Spoiler alert!

Bioshock 2 , you better not disappoint.
Reply to this
Yea Saints, and Hell Yes for Dante's. remember we 360 owners don't get any God of War. We'll take it any way we can.
Reply to this
Yep, my thoughts too.
Reply to this
Like Tide said, System Shock 3 would be awesome. Make it happen, Ken and Company!
Reply to this
For those that don't have $60, you should have a list of what games are on sale this week, and where.
Reply to this
Blaster Master Overdrive seems to be getting overlooked!
Reply to this
Scene It? Twilight
Nope, haven't Scene it? Don't want to either!
Reply to this
Tomorrow, Free Grand Slam at Denny's followed by BioShock 2!
Reply to this
Star Ocean: The Last Hope looks good to me.
Reply to this
A review of Blaster Master Overdrive would be very appreciated!

Dante's Inferno Divine Edition

Star Ocean: The Last Hope - International gets my money.
Reply to this
Reviews for BS2 aren't looking too good. I'm ready for disappointment.
Reply to this
Let us know how Dante's is.
Reply to this
Maybe Dante's, but the commercial didn't help the game any.
