Weekly Game-Drop List
So we’ve come to this: slow-down time. Don’t get us wrong, there’s still some choice game in this week’s list, but not as steamy hot as recent weeks prior.
Kind of looking forward to MK vs. DC Universe, Left 4 Dead (360 version Jeremy!), and mildly interested in Tomb Raider: Underworld. But still, we wonder how good they are when they’ve yet to show up on the Metacritic…
The full drop-list after the break…

The problem with PC games is that I am not playing them on my 50″ TV. That’s why I tend to avoid computer games.

Meh, for me peformance and replayability matter a hell of a lot more, ive got a pretty nice tv also, but more value is more value
November 17th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
I’d say “value” in that case is subjective. Because
more “value” for me would be me playing, chilling
in front of my TV
Playing on the computer is a lot more tense. I
remember playing Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike.
Then played the former on consoles…MUCH better.

yup, with a lot less «modded» cheaters in game also
