New Releases 2/28-3/6: Singing, Swinging, and Shooting Edition

Some of life’s simplest pleasures can be found on a console near you this week. Whether your passion is nailing notes, curve balls, or truck loads of enemies, there’s a diversion that will likely appeal to any gamer. With the commencement of spring training, it’s little wonder that this Wednesday also sees the release of ten baseball SKUs.

Supreme Commander 2

DesertEagle’s Pick: I was pleasantly surprised by the the first Battlefield: Bad Company, and have returned to its single player game regularly. With the proficiency shown by the recent multiplayer demo, I am extremely excited for the series’ sophomore effort.

SeanNOLA’s Pick: A lot of interesting releases this week: the early edition of Mega Man 10 will be an easy pick-up for those of you with little to no attachment to their gamerscore, and what little I’ve seen of Alice in Wonderland on the DS looks intriguing.  However, loyal podcast listeners will tell you that I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on Lunar: Silver Star Harmony.

TideGear‘s Pick: This seems like DesertEagle’s week to soar through tons of military action. Me? I’m conflicted. I’d like to believe that Silent Hunter 5 won’t be impenetrably complicated, but I’d almost certainly be wrong. Toy Soldiers seems much more manageable, but will it be much more than a stylized RTS? Supreme Commander 2 seems more promising than the first, but the first left me pretty cold. As for Mega Man 10, I’d say it’s my pick, but it doesn’t seem as special this time around. Luckily, there’s a good chance one or more of those titles will be good. We’ll see!

  3. I cant wait to see some of the baseball reviews, so I can pick of these games up.

  4. I cant wait to see that in the bargain bins. Really whose going to play it?

  5. BF:BC 2, loved the first one, and the demo was tight. I liked it better than MW2.

  6. “Rehab by Amy Crackhouse”

    This was full of win.

    “You May Know the Words to These (But Do You Really???)”

    This wasn’t.

  7. @ Tide- Yes, Desert should be on cloud nine this week. Have to watched/played any of MM10? You seem a bit unenthusiastic.

    @ NOLA- Alice in Wonderland? really?

  8. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony. I hope it hits PSN soon. Otherwise I’ll buy the deluxe edition on Wednesday

  9. Haha, I think it should be a rule that asking where my pick is must be at least as amusing as this.

  10. It at least has a funky art style. I don’t know much more about it yet.

  11. I’m just afraid Capcom is going to run retro Mega Man into the ground. I’m still looking forward to MM10.

  12. Because the DS version of Alice in Wonderland has a quirky, interesting art-style and gameplay that reminds me of the old NES-Genesis days of great Disney games.
