As much as the mainstream media would like to portray gamers as Mountain Dew fueled, attention deficit disorder-riddled misfits, this week’s new releases would paint a contradictory picture. With entries based on crime-novelist James Patterson, juvenile sleuths- The Hardy Boys, and an elusive woolly-capped wearing autophobic, one might find us to be a bookish bunch. As long as word doesn’t get out about a little game starring space marines, maybe these antiquated stereotypes can be subverted.

DesertEagle’s Pick: While Katamari Forever doesn’t radically change the franchise’s formula, I can’t wait to roll through some new HD enviorments. While Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection got delayed a week, my nod still stands- this game will please pinball fanatics. Look for my review on Tuesday.

TideGear’s Pick: The Katamari Damacy games hold a special place in my heart. I’m concerned that Namco Bandai may beat the series to death with release after release, but I’m pretty sure I can get behind Katamari Forever.

  9. I’m curious as to how they make The Price Is Right into a Wii game. Not $30 curious mind you, more like $5 curious.

  11. $60 for a six hour campaign, some co-op, and HALO freaking 3 maps? Bungie can suck it.

    Should have called it Halo 3: CASH (Create Another Shitty Halo)

  14. Fear of being alone. I think they’re referring to Waldo whose always surrounded by people. They like to turn there new releases into games.

  27. Did you know Patterson was once a Toys R Us advertising exec? Yes, the man who created the term ‘Toys R Us Kid” will finally have one of his products sold there 🙂

  30. Wow, everyone turning on Halo 3:ODST now it seems. I have it preordered, but the short campaign has me worried.

  33. I always love the way you guys add an introduction to the new release list.

    Nothing for me, but I’d love to play Katamari Forever.
