New releases for the week of New Years photo

It's another week of no releases in the videogame world. I'm checking my various sources and most of them are saying that Kawasaki Quad Bikes, Rig Racer 2, Classic British Motor Racing, and Monster Trux: Offroad are all supposed to be out this week. But checking out the company that is making all of these games, Popcorn Arcade, two of the games should have been out already, one will be out in February, and the last title is sometime in January.

Whatever the case is, I wouldn't recommend any of these games. Actually, if you really do want one of these titles, you just need to pick one of them and it will be exactly the same as the rest. Thanks to ScrewAttack's SAGY awards, we found out the Ninjabread Man and Anubis II are the exact same games with a different paint job (both from Popcorn Arcade).

Not much else to say other than that I didn't want Nick to have a hissy fit at me if I made another two word post like last week.

WVC: Bubble Bobble, Top Hunter, Light Crusader
X360: Nothing
Wii: Maybe nothing
PS3: Nothing, but that's not surprising for PS3 owners ... OH SNAP!
PS2: Why are they still making games for it?
PSP: UMDs are the future.
DS: Why make a third redesign?
PC: We need more coverage of the PC market.
Mac: LOL.
GameCube: No one cares anymore.
Xbox: Just mod it already.
Mobile: It would be worth talking about Mobile gaming if our phones weren't ten years behind the Japanese phones. 

Next week to be better for new games.

Bubble Monkey sounds like a Mega Man boss.

GAMEGOBLIN: We haven't got info on this week's release for XBLA yet. Grim will post it as always once we get the press release. :)

Is Rig Racer 2 related in any fashion to Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing? If so, I am totally buying it.

Question: Why is Mac even on that list? I know a lot of people think PC gaming is small and weak, though it isn't, but Macs don't have any games other than Simcity and Civilization.

Last week's post was so much more than two words. It was also a terrifying picture that haunts me still.

My question is "Why the hell did many developers stop making games for the PS2?". There's still plenty of money to be milked from the PS2's userbase [120 million+ worldwide] until the end of 2008 or whenever the developers get tired of making easy money.

Because it's time to fucking move on. Buy a "current gen" system and get with the times.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE, EVERYONE!

I still care about the Gamecube. Where is my Luigi's Mansion 2?

Bubble monkey makes it all go away.

Also, almost every major PC game makes its way to Mac. It just might take up to a year or two, by which point, you might say "what's the point?"

@ Spartacus

I'm glad I can now check out those old Gamecube games with my Wii. All the games are backwards compatible, right?

I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but I found a mistake in teh article.

"It would be worth talking about Mobile gaming if are phones weren't ten years behind the Japanese phones. "

It should be "our." Again, not doing this to be a prick, just lookin' out. Feel free to delete this comment.

@wasanasan: Relax, dude. I’m a PS3 owner, but I can take a joke...apparently, you can’t.

I’m totally okay with no new releases. I just beat Uncharted last night (c-blog review coming later this week), but I have plenty of other PS3 games I need to finish. Hell, I’ll probably have The Orange Box from Goozex by the end of January. A new release drought can’t come soon enough.

wasanasan: Just speaking the truth man. The next couple of weeks are going to be great for a PS3 owner at least. I'm not a system fanboy, I want the PS3 to do good, but it's just ridiculous how long it's taking the PS3 to get games.
