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.

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!
I’d be shocked if Desert DIDNT pick BF:BC.
Knuckles is red
Sonic is blue
MegaMan 10 this week
TideGear where are you?
MLB 10: The Show. Got it preordered.
Why the hell would the guy who dissed Dynasty Warriors want freaking Alice in Wonderland?
Gimme some Toy Soldiers and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Im ready for war!
Not picking Sonic Classic Collection makes Big the Cat cry fish-scented tears.
Lunar might get my money. I liked the demo.
Silent Hunter 5 FTW. Time to wreck your shit with math.
Is Supreme Commander 2 supposed to come out for consoles?
What will you guys review this week?
Which baseball is the one to get for PS3 owners?
2 PS2 games? Wow, party like its 2006!
Project Runway sounds FAB-U-LOUS!
How about a songlist for Lips: Party Classics?

Thanks for the info. I need a new game to help me get through the week ahead.
is it me, or have most of the song been on other karaoke games?
I don’t even know what that means, but I do like sub games.
For 360 in late March.
I hope you review Dante’s Inferno for PSP.
I cant wait to see some of the baseball reviews, so I can pick of these games up.
I cant wait to see that in the bargain bins. Really whose going to play it?
Whats so good about Alice in Wonderland, NOLA?
How much is Mega Man 10?
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 might be good.
BF:BC 2, loved the first one, and the demo was tight. I liked it better than MW2.
No pick from Adam the elusive?
No interest in baseball, so that’ll save me some money.
Are the T-G guys going to LARP it up at the Battlefield release?
MLB 10: The Show
“Rehab by Amy Crackhouse”
This was full of win.
“You May Know the Words to These (But Do You Really???)”
This wasn’t.
@ 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?
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony. I hope it hits PSN soon. Otherwise I’ll buy the deluxe edition on Wednesday
Ten bucks, same as MM9.
Battlefield BC 2! I loved the first game.
No, it’s not you. I have most of these on SingStar already.
Only one RPG this week. Guess what will get my money?
Haha, I think it should be a rule that asking where my pick is must be at least as amusing as this.
It at least has a funky art style. I don’t know much more about it yet.
‘Tis up!
I’m just afraid Capcom is going to run retro Mega Man into the ground. I’m still looking forward to MM10.
Nothing for me this week. Blame a lack of funds.
What is Toy Soldiers?
Nothing this week.
I might have to play through Lunar again.
Seconded!
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.
No sir, I will blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol.
4 PSP games has got to be a record.
Tide seems conflicted.
