New Releases 11/29-12/5: Running on Empty Edition
While it’s highly unlikely gamers have any disposable income after Black Friday’s irresistible sales, you can’t fault publishers for trying. From the latest installment in Rainbow’s long-running off-road series to an adaption of James Cameron’s upcoming 3D film, there are a few tantalizing titles that may be hard to pass up.

DesertEagle’s Pick: After tearing up the terrain over the Thanksgiving weekend with MX vs. ATV Reflex, I can safely recommend the title to off-roading aficionados. As much as I enjoy the occasional Richard Marcinko tome, I’m going to have to adopt a wait and see attitude on Rogue Warrior.
SeanNOLA’s Pick: I never played Resident Evil: Zero on the GameCube, so I’ll be interested to find out whether Capcom’s Wii release is worth paying full price for or if I’m better off tracking down a copy of the original and using a Classic Controller. Beyond that one release, nothing else really calls to me this week.
TideGear’s Pick: My pick is easy this week, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes! I’m a fan of action/puzzle games, as well as hybrid-genre games. Here’s hoping it’s more challenging than a “casual” puzzle game.
Nothing for me, I’m hurting for cash right now.
Wonder how the new RE for Wii is…
I might have to try MX…
Desert, I cant believe youre not excited for Rogue Warrior!
Zombie Drivr? I hope you review this one guys!
I might have to try Avatar: The Game. Is the game in 3D too?
No takers for Picture Perfect Hair Salon?
Yeah I was looking at rogue warrior and yeah maybe someother time..Intrested in avatar though I hope it’s not another crappy movie game.
I hope you guys cover Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
MX vs. ATV Reflex
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
Rogue Warrior, if I can get a deal.
What worries me about Rogue Warrior is that there’s not a single gameplay video, demo or anything.
Desert, didn’t you play RW at E3?
anyone whose ever read a Marcinko book should be sterilized.
I might have to try Yoga. I’m ready for disappointment though.
I bet the Avatar game will be crappy for sure.
No, but I think SeanNOLA did. I don’t know how I missed it!
I’ve only read one; his alleged autobiography. I’m not into fiction, so I hope you’ll let me add to the gene pool 😉
Nothing for me this week! Waiting for Spirit Tracks.
I’ve heard Avatar is coming along nicely.
No picks from NOLA and ‘Gear?
Nothing for me this week.
The MX games were always fun.
After picking up L4D2, I’m broke.
Avatar might be good. I’ll wait for the review though.
Wow I can’t believe the holiday onslaught of triple A titles has dwindled and died down. My wallet is happy.
I still need to get NSMB!
This is true: Bethesda walked me through an alpha build of Rogue Warrior at e3. The alpha was pretty buggy, so it was too hard to get an accurate feel for the game, but the whole development cycle seemed to revolve around making Marcinko feel good about himself. I left the demo feeling a little worried.
I just wanted to love I love your guys reviews- DesertEagle and SeanNOLA are great! Too bad I’m too poor this week!
Why the hell wasn’t Desert with you? Maybe he paying worship at the Demo Dick temple?!?!
If any site can be me a good analysis of Rogue Warrior, it’s you guys! DE- get on it.
I gotta agree. I cant really trust 1up, Gamespot and IGN with reviewing this game. You guys always nail RPGs and FPSs. Ok, you’re Left4Dead2 review, was a bit high, but you’re usually good.
Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel should get an obnoxious name award.
Not too many good releases this week.
This will be my bye week. Actually no buy!
I might have to rent that Rogue Warrior!
Nothing for me
Looks like a great week to catch up on my backlog.
Hmm, nothing really interests me.
Maybe Rogue Warrior.
I’m not quite sure what that means…
There’s a lot of games to see and play at E3. If you didn’t book an appointment, you’d have to wait in line. Occasionally, I just was too impatient to wait- as was the case with Halo ODST.
I see NOLA’s pick. Tide is LTTP.
You left out Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre for the Wii.
Deagle, I just gotta say this- sometimes your writing is just way too pretentious. Are you competing with Leigh Alexander or something?
Say WHAT?
Terms like tome, disposable income, and tantalizing are totally unnecessary. It’s seem like his reviews say, ‘Look I’m so damn smart and smug aren’t I just too cool?’
He’s a writer. Grab a dictionary. You’re the one coming off as pretentious with your criticism.
You tell that NeoGaf troll, Adam!
I’m also curious about Rogue Warrior.
M&M Heroes does look interesting. I think GI had a review a few months ago.
I’m gonna have to go with the Re-Re-Reflex!
(Duran Duran reference for the youngins)
I’m with Nola- only Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero has an interest for me.
Avatar: The Game might be interesting
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
With all the amazing games that’ve come out the last 2 months, this week looks pretty pathetic.
The Rogue Warrior reviews are coming in and they are not pretty!
