Weekly Drop-List

Proving that they can’t let a milking opportunity pass them by, Square Enix releases the remake of a GBA game, Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, this week. Might not include Kingdom Hearts II like the Japanese version released a year and half ago did but it comes at a friendly price: $29.99.

Other remakes/re-releases include GTA IV for PC (now with added video editor!) and Prince of Persia which looks to be the last big title of the fall.

The game shopping deals continue to come in today. I just located Resident Evil 4 (Nintendo Wii) for $9.95 $19.95 on Amazon. Most $9.95 game deals are for games that should be priced $9.95. If you haven’t played RE4 yet, I’d certainly suggest taking advantage of the deal.

What kind of jerk would steal someone’s gaming systems on Thanksgiving?  Apparently that kind of jerk resides in Buffalo, New York.  According to a news report, a Buffalo resident reported to police that someone broke into his apartment yesterday with a crowbar and stole his laptop, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, camera, five watches and $800 in cash.

It looks like Famitsu continues warming up to various Nintendo Wii titles.  They have given 428 ~Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de~ a perfect score. Kotaku wrote up an interesting article on the topic.  While the Wii certainly isn’t the hard-core gaming system some wish it was, it’s certainly building a respectable game library. I’ll admit that Famitsu tends to give games higher scores than they deserve, but it’s still an accomplishment that Nintendo is receiving some of these perfects…

Just when we thought games couldn’t get worse, we just read an article about Vagina Hero for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii systems. This isn’t a real game, but the article at Ripten is worth a look.  We’re not quite sure what the guys at Ripten are smoking these days, but we want some…

Weekly Drop-List

We go a bit old-school on this week’s “good, bad” with remakes of a Super Mario 64 knock-off and say “Hello, Chrono” to a little redhead kid trying to save the world.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix also makes its (finally!) glorious debut on Xbox Live and PSN. Other than that…either go back and play through some of those games on your backlog or enjoy your Turkey Dinner Festivities — bored.

We’re definitely excited about Castlevania Judgement for the Nintendo Wii. To celebrate, we decided to post a link to the recent widget from RocketXL. The widget also promotes Order of Ecclesia for the DS. Right now we are on the waiting list to review Castlevania Judgement, so there’s a good chance we’ll be testing it soon…

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 was a terrible game I traded  to GameStop less than 24 hours after I picked it up.  You’ve probably been wondering if 2009 would be a better game and after several days of playing the new title, I now have an answer for you.

When it comes to wrestling, we haven’t seen a good option on Nintendo systems since the good old days of the N64. It looks like the dry days of bad wrestling on Nintendo may have finally come to an end. While the game is still better on the PS3, if Nintendo is your thing, the Wii version ia surprisingly good.

THQ Statement:

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 for Wii builds upon its inaugural offering by significantly expanding its match type options, giving players more ways to enjoy the platform’s unique pick-up-and-play experience. The game also takes full combat sports entertainment to the next level by giving players more Superstar control with interactive entrances and victory scenes. WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 for Wii also includes a wide variety of new weapons, the debut of online gameplay and much more.
