New Releases 5/9-5/15: Familiar Friends Edition
The week’s releases feels like a friendly reunion of admired video game characters. Elder statesmen, Sparkster, has been absent from gaming for sixteen long years. Many are curious if the armored opossum has the verve to lead a 16-bit revival. Assisting Sparkster in the resurgence effort is Earthworm Jim who is hoping to recapture the fame of his glory days with a DS port and an upcoming high-definition make-over.

DesertEagle’s Pick: Despite some of the most infuriating boss battles I’ve encountered in recent memory, Lost Planet 2 has enough co-operative and multiplayer contest to allow a recommendation to cool-headed action aficionados. Those prone to fits on controller-throwing may want to seek out Skate 3‘s more laid-back vibe.
SeanNOLA’s Pick: The Maypocalypse has begun! This week, we see several great titles, including the re-release of one of my favorite games, Earthworm Jim! Although I never got around to trying the first Lost Planet, the sequel has me intrigued – and you know I can’t help but be drawn to the downloadable Monster Hunter costume!
I saw LP2 got 6.0 from the game grouch, Arthur Gies.
How the hell did I mis you 3D Dot Game Heroes review?!?!
Funny how Things on Wheels and Skate are coming out the same week.

Skate 3 PS3!
I liked the LP2 demo. I may have to give the game a try.
A couple decent games this week with Lost Planet 2 and Skate 3. Nothing I really need to play right now, though.
Is that the Rebel FM dude? Yeah, he’s mild about everything.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware that Lost Planet 2 was here already.
New releases are good, but a podcast would be even better 😉
The skate series is crap. I wish they made regular Tony Hawk games without the plastic skateboard.
Hopefully, one of you is interested in reviewing Naruto Shippuden!
Does anyone play Conan here? I might get that, but I need some info? How much is it per month? How’s the PvP?
I’ll grab the Skate demo today.
So EWJ for DS is just a straightup port? Weak!
Dance Sensation got delayed? Was it not sensational enough?
Lost Planet 2 for PS3.
I’m waiting for Blur.
I was thinking about LP2.
Never heard of Rocket Knight! It looks cool though.
Maybe I’ll get rocket knight.
Lost Planet 2 here!
No Karnov picks?
Monster Hunter in my Lost Planet 2? Tell me more!
Skate 3 The demo was fun and I skipped the last one.
Yeah I think it is. Supposedly they are doing a HD remix for 360.
Who is earthworm jim?
I’ll try the Rocket Knight demo for sure.
C’mon you should know by know that Karnov is always LTTP. That’s his method.
What the hell is Things on Wheels?
The ERSB made them make it less sensational to protect the children.
Deagle- why are the boss battles in Lost Planet 2 infuriating?
Could be time to shoot some sac. I’m talking about the picture, of course.
The PS3 isn’t getting Rocket Knight? WTF!
Plug.plug.plug 😉
So hows the 3D in the new Batman: Arkham Asylum?
3D Dot Game Heroes. I’m surprised I’m alone on this one.
Your not. I preorderd the game, but I’m seeing some playing that will have it for $34.99
I heard he just posted his picks for LAST WEEK. lol.
Everyone needs to get off his ass. He’ll post when he posts!
Photo Dojo is up and it’s free!!!!
I’m going with TideGears pick of nothing.
Mine’s finally up!

I still want to get Dead to Rights.
Are you guys going to review Rocket Knight?
Nothing for me this week.
Anyone pick up EWJ??? NOLA?
Skate 3 today. Hey guys, I think it’s time for a podcast!
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3. Believe it!
Or “Dattebayo!” to the hardcore.
