New Releases 12/6-12/12: View From the Top Edition
As the last new releases trickle out, It may be time to say, “au revoir” to 2009. With only two blips on the radar for the remainder of the year- Guitar Hero: Van Halen and Divinity II: Ego Draconis, now may be a perfect time to catch up on any overlooked titles. What shameful entries are in your backlog?

The Saboteur
Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy
DesertEagle’s Pick: At E3, the whole Tech-Gaming staff was glued to The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for different reasons, making the title seems an overwhelmingly safe pick for all audiences. As a Pandemic fan (particularly Mercenaries and Destroy All Humans), I owe the guys a run through Saboteur‘s sandbox. Hopefully, the title will be a fitting elegy for the memorable developer.
TideGear’s Pick: I love a good stealth game but the death of Pandemic Studios and rumblings of mediocrity have me skeptical of The Saboteur. The Legend of Zelda series always seems to have a tough time holding me. What I saw of Spirit Tracks at E3, and what I have heard since, has me pretty interested. I just wish I got Metroid games more often!
I don’t think The Saboteur will stay at $60 for long.
Desert, are you French? What’s will the occasional French word or mention of the Eiffel tower?
Will Bookworm DS have any new features?
Batman for my backlog!
I heard he eats Freedom Fries.
Nothing for me this week.
New New Realeases until next year? NO!
Keep the DLC updates coming please!
Spirit Tracks for me. Did you guys get the t-shirt?
Did Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy ever get released for the Wii?
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. I have a feel all the guys are going to pick this one this week.
part of me says, “What happened to all the games”
The other part is thankful.
Nothing for me until 2010.
Sad to hear about Pandemic, I also move the first Mercs.
LOTR: Conquest and Mercenaries 2 were a bit disappointing though.
Where’s the other two?
I’ll be the first to say it.
How come you guys didn’t review the Avatar game.
I might have to try Saboteur.
Zelda: ST for me.
Time to catch up on MW2, ODST, and finish RF:G
I need to spend some time with LBP.
Thanks for the info, guys.
I might the Saboteur a try.
This week is all about Spirit Tracks.
Man, I wish I had some credit for Zelda.
Bookworm DS might be worth a go.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. I’m a big fan of the series.
I’d like to get Zelda.
Thinking about getting Saboteur, but I’m a bit pressed for funds in this holiday season.
Wait they broke Monkey island up into parts? How much does it cost to play the whole thing?
I don’t think so, I’ve been waiting for that one.
I have so many games to catch up on- Muramasa is at the top of the list.
Saboteur is a wait and see.
I think I’ll be getting Spirit Tracks.
This week I’ll pass go and collect $200.
What will you guys be reviewing this week?
Still waiting for Tide and NOLA.
I hope you guys still create a sunday article even if there’s no new releases.
Zelda it is.
What did everyone like about Zelda: ST?
Yep, I’m the same way about it.
I think I’ll probably pick up Saboteur.
Saboteur it is then.
I’m a bit broke this week, but I plan on picking up Zelda before Xmas.
This is a weak week 😉
Seriously, one pick of the week? You guys need to fix that!
That pic looks like Sin City
I thought the same thing.
Mine’s up!
First hour of Saboteur is pretty decent.
Did NOLA quit or was he fired? Where’s his picks?
I like everything but the stealth.
