New Releases for the Week of March 27th, 2011
Players can expect an abundance of driving in this week’s new releases. Beyond tearing up the tarmac in Shift 2 Unleashed, NASCAR The Game 2011, Asphalt 3D, and Ridge Racer 3D, gamers have the option to drive the dimpled ball down Augusta’s gorgeous greens with Tiger Wood’s PGA Tour 12: The Masters. Heck, when even Rush’N Attack‘s lone thrusts his dagger blade into the throats of enemies, players will be doing more driving than an insomniac truck driver.

DesertEagle’s Pick: Instead of a cross-platform pick, allow me to issue advice squarely to the prospective 3DS owners. You’ll want to pick up Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Ridge Racer 3D while steering clear of future clearance-bin fodder Asphalt 3D and Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D.
SeanNOLA’s Pick : I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to play the train-wreck that is Dino D-Day, but my pick for this week has been reserved for some time now: I loved the original Parasite Eve – I even tolerated the second game – and I’ve been waiting years for Aya Brea’s next adventure. Even though I am setting myself up for frustration and disappointment, thanks to 3rd Birthday‘s new shooter mechanics, I’ll be picking it up this week for nostalgia’s sake.
Samurage’s Pick: Out of this week’s generous assortment of releases, I’m most excited about the DLC for Mass Effect
2. Sure, it is just a side quest, so the length of the content might be a
little wanting, but I’m excited to see the game deliver a different
style of play.
Wow, epic number of releases this week.
First, btw.
Isn’t the Red Faction download game this week?
Pretty good selection this week.
WWE All Stars could be cool.
Shift 2 for me.
Woohoo Country Dance
I’ll probably get LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars and SSFIV with my 3DS.
how much will Arrival be?
Yea, well it IS a system launch week.
Ninth, btw.
After Rush’N Attack is there any old game that hasn’t been remade?
Deagle, is this this first year you didn’t give Tiger Woods the pick?
No the Nintendogs and cats fight or live peacefully is the same cartridge?
NOLA, don’t egg them on.
15th or so.
The 3rd Birthday
So is this the end of regular DS games?
I thought Dynasty Warriors 7 came out last week.
For the 3DS not the best launch ever. Almost every game I’ve played before…in 2D.
Shift 2 Unleashed is coming out this week? Shit, I haven’t seen a single ad or work about this game.
If Dino D-Day has stegosauruses rushing the beach against T-Rexs in pillboxes, Deagle’s gonna B+ it for sure.
Guys can you review PilotWings Resort, please?
Silent Sage speaks up for the new releases, and picks a winner!
I finally found out why Deagle and NOLA didn’t review DA2:
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/25/dragon-age-2-writer-responds-to-complaint-about-bioware-neglecti/
I’m almost temped to buy a 3DS just to play PES 11 on the go.
Nascar and WWE the same week? Lemme grab a 12er of PBR and celebrate!
The Legend of Heroes: TitS might get a try. Yeah, TITS!
Tiger, Tiger Woods Ya’ll!
three picks this week? All you need if Karnov!
My pick is Tiger Woods.
Deagle, you suck if you don’t review Samurai Warriors Chronicles.
Never heard of Mayhem 3D. Looked it up, and it could be interesting.
Me neither, I can’t believe its really coming out this week.
Maybe NASCAR The Game 2011
Ridge Racer 3D and SSFIV3D
The 3rd Birthday for me!
man, the regular DS is getting some really bad games now that the 3DS is out.
WWE All Stars for me, yo.
I’m hoping The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky will be good. Love that acronym!
DW7 here we come.
What does the ME2 change, Sage?
Bunch of crybabies.
WWE looks cool. Hopefully Hulk is in it.
Nintendogs + Cats: Pitbull & Dead Friends
I still need to get Dragon Age 2.
After Deagle’s SSFIV review, I’ll be picking up that one.
I’ll give the demo of Rush ‘N Attack a try. I liked the old NES game way back when.
Wow, people. Just….wow.
Podcast discussion, puh-lease.
I don’t think it needs discussion. OP thinks Bioware should create an game for their ideal (imagined?) audience, which is based on sexual orientation and gender.
Now here’s the problem- draw a Venn diagram of people that are male and straight (or two other cultural variables). In that intersection, you’re not going to find complete homogeneity. Some gamers which are a part of both groups aren’t even going to like RPGs.
Agreed.
So there was an All-Stars demo? I need to get it.
Yep, on XBox LIve at least.
Ive always heard good things about the A Hearts of Iron games.
Soccer Up is a game?
Mass Effect 2 DLC.
Tiger Woods Masters for me.
Steel Diver is so weird. I hope you review it.
On the way to grab Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12.
Shouldn’t Mayhem 3D be on the 3DS?
