We’re trying something new with the “games dropping this week” post today. We figure if Microsoft can make use of an aggregate site such as Metacritic to deter you from all the crap-filled gaming products out there, why not let you know what to avoid via the same source? Let us know what you think of our new approach in the comments.
Ninja Gaiden II has been getting fairly good reviews around the Interwebs. The consensus seems to be that its more of the same normal-enemies-can-kill-you challenging gameplay but the camera has proven to be troublesome and the story is among the top nonsensical plots in the series.
The other big game dropping this week is GRID, which demo you can try out on PSN and Xbox Live. And, of course, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures should keep you hooked on Indy for a few days.
Full list of games dropping this week after the break…
(The following scores were “aggregated-tive-ized” as of June 2, 2008 via Metacritic)
The Good..
* GRID (PC, 360, PS3) - Metascore: 88
* Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 (PSP) - Metascore: 84
* Ninja Gaiden II (360) - Metascore: 81
The Bad…
(No “bad” titles were scored this week, which is usually a bad sign for games, but we’re hoping that’s not the case for the new Indy game)
