DesertEagle’s Pick: PSP owners who haven’t picked up the fantastic adaptation of PixelJunk Monsters, would consider doing so- I’d love to see more $10 new UMDs. On the PS3 front, I’ll be clearing 10 GB from my hard drive to make room for Record or Agarest War‘s multi-generational RPG gameplay. Hopefully, ass-kicking genes are a dominant genetic trait.
SeanNOLA’s Pick: My greatest gaming shame is that – never jumped on the Street Fighter 4 bandwagon. I preordered it to get that sweet Ryu headband, but when the time came to pick up my copy, I balked and left it with the clerk. Hopefully, Super Street Fighter 4 will justify my year long wait, and fighting fans will welcome me with open arms.
Super SF for me. Is SNOLA too busy playing NH3 to post?
I thought you guys liked S/E games. Why no NIER pick?
DSiWare releases posted Monday
Why is that? Nintendo doesn’t make annoucements.
Will PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe be $10 on PSN also? If so, score for me by waiting.
Maybe Super Street Fighter 4.
More PSP games that DS ones. I never thought I’d see that.
Why dont PC games release on the same date at their console versions? Thats said, I might get Conviction. Anyone know if UBisoft’s going to put their usual DRM on it?
Where’s Karnov and SeanNOLA picks of the week?
Karnov says “PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe: because I like PixelJunk so damn much.
SN says “I’m too busy with MHT to care, but pick up Dead to Rights: Retribution because you can attack people with Shadow. And killing people with dog is cool. Especially if they are hipsters.”
SSF4. No more roman numerals in the title?
Super Street Fighter 4 feels like it could have been DLC. $40 is a bit much. I want the competition, but I’m going to have to wait.
I cant beleive they are STILL milking Harvest Moon games. You should a PR rep on your show and just ask “Why?”
Other site always complain that Nintendo never shows there hand until Monday morning.
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, since I never picked up this years version.
“10 GB” ????
you’ve got to kidding me. I have a 20 GB machine! Time to finally upgrade that HD!
Record of Agarest War and Nier have my attention.
SNOLA, where’s the Monster Hunter review???
I want to kick some balls this week. In Dead to Rights, though. Get ’em Shadow!
Free Running better not require you to run with the wiimote in your pocket 🙁
What’s Neir about anyways?
Really pumped to check out the new FIFA game. Hopefully its a nice improvement over previous versions and not just a relabeled version of the previous game.
So how much will Record of Agarest War be going for?
Time for some street fightin’
I’m eager to try Fei Long’s new ‘One Inch Punch’ ultra.
Wow, that’s dead on. Sometimes been carefully listening to the podcast 😉
I do like Squeenix’s output, but I know very little about NIER, besides it being an action/adventure game.
I’ll give you their answer and the real answer.
Natsume: We make them because our fans ask for them.
Reality: We make them because they make money.
SeanNOLA’s post are up now. I think he had a Monster Hunter hangover.
That makes 2 for SSF4. Hmmm.
I’m wondering if Tecmo Bowl Throwback will be any good. I guess we’ll know on Wednesday.
I’ll get my PJ fix this week.
Dead to Rights: Retribution, depending on the reviews.
Dont count on it.
SSF4. Even though I’ve played way too much sf over the years.
No interesting games for me.
I’m hoping NIER is good. I’m might grab it.
I bought a DSIXL, so I might have to get some DSIware to go with it. You guys have any picks?
What will you guys be viewing?
I was hoping to have Dead to Rights: Retribution by now.
Yeah, I’d like to see more DS DLC reviews. How come you dont do those?
No picks from TideGear aka Karnov?
I hope there will be a podcast this week!
I might have to pick us a PSP game this week. PJM will be the first game in months for it.
Yep, at least talk about them during the podcast.
Serious Sam HD is finally coming out for PC?
Thanks for including the DSi releases.
Lemme guess that the game ending move in Don’t Feed The Animals is.
I agree review some DSI software, please!
Still no Karnov. Is he OK?
Whens the next podcast?
It’s up now!
Kinda of what Tidegear said. Pretty good!
Thanks for your support and informative post.
