The big title this week is Halo Wars. I'm the resident Halo fanboy on staff and I know that I would enjoy Halo Wars. Yet, I have no intention of getting it anytime soon, even for the new maps. I just don't feel like it could be worth the full $60.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Shit, Matt Hazard is THIS WEEK?!?!? FUCK, I already bought Killzone and I'm planning on getting Watchmen on PSN. I wish I had more scratch. Maybe a rental?
I have Halo Wars pre-ordered so I'll probably end up getting that to tide me over until RE5.
I did have a question though, do the new Halo 3 maps come with the regular edition of Halo Wars, or are they exclusive to the Limited Edition?
You guys owe me a new keyboard, I sprayed it with soda when I scrolled down to the "Grey's Anatomy" vid. I'm definitely picking up KOF...again. It's too bad I can't get a joystick for it with all this Street Fighter IV hooplah.
Empire: Total War is very tempting, but the demo was so "blood-less" it seemed silly. When 100 soldiers with muskets fire on another group of 100 standing flat footed looking them square in the eye at about 50 yards apart... there should be a little blood involved.
Damnit, what with all the great games out lately, I am just running out of cash. I want eat lead. Ah well. I'd probably be too busy with KZ2 to devote time to it. Maybe Ill grab this in a couple weeks or so.
Matt Hazard (aka Eat Lead) came out Friday...I both love and hate it.
I love it for its self referencing, smart comedy, great voice acting (GOP & NPH!) and breaking the 4th wall. I hate it for the fact that the HUD blocks a quarter of the screen, and certain boss battles are EXTREMELY aggravating!
Still...fun stuff. Not worth $50, but worth a rental.
I didn't know Sonic was coming out so soon. I'll be in my room crying because Sega released another bullshit Sonic game not five months after their last bullshit Sonic game.

Your jumps (breaks/more tags) are broken. Just wanted to help.
Next week though! God damn, I'm gonna be broke.
And I was this close >----< to getting Eat Lead.

I'm also looking forward to hearing more about Sonic and the Black Knight.
I just hope nobody is getting excited about DHaC...
