February 27 – March 2
SSX is one of those games that I consistently forget that I liked, alot. I remember owning SSX Tricky, and I remember playing it for weeks. Then I remember that as soon as I was done, I forgot about it almost entirely. Every so often someone would bring it up and then I'd remember the great time I had with SSX, and then I'd promptly forget all about it again.
It's like the video game equivalent of Doctor Who's The Silence for me. The moment I stop looking directly at it, I forget it even existed.
Still, SSX gets my nod for Game of the Week. Also, Microsoft Flight takes, um, flight this week on the PC and Shin Megami Tensei releases a game on the DS that I'm certain a small group of individuals are highly anticipating.

Devil Survivor 2!
My Latest: I Accidentally the Whole Game Mechanic, Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3
That's a DS title? I just assumed it'd be a 3DS title ... whoops.
My life is devoted to CKII at the moment. And a splash of Amalur. No more new games for me.

This is Atlus we're talking about, the company that was still publishing PS2 titles in late 2008. They move to new platforms at their own pace.

I realize that I should know better, however, they did put out that 3DS version of the first one.

Is my Gamestop open at midnight tonight?
And this has had an amazing demo that really showed off it's rather deep online score chasing mode. I'm addicted to it already. I can't get enough.

Does anyone know if SSX has couch co-op? I've wanted a good trick racing game for a while, but Pure didn't have split-screen and that was a deal-breaker; and I was looking for a good SSX for 360 a couple years ago but there was none. Now suddenly this game has appeared! And I can't find any mention of local multiplayer anywhere.
Edit: Durr, changed my search term from "co-op" to "split-screen" and got a raft of hits. Yes, I'm a reference librarian, why do you ask? Apparently the answer is "No". Damn.
Edit 3: The un-edit.

Yeah sadly game developers don't see a point in splitscreen in these times. But some games still support it as a bonus.
"Binary Domain" is one of those titles that makes me think they could do really interesting stuff.
Then I saw Dudebro McBuzzcutt on the cover.
But then I saw "squad-based" and "innovative AI" ... hm.

If you read the interview, I think it comes across that split-screen was something they wanted but it wasn't feasible. The game is open-world and already rendering at 30fps, and there are only so many compromises you can make and resources you can throw at a problem before you have to make the decision so you can have a shippable game. Unfortunate for some of us, for sure.
Ah, the editor. Just a quick question: "alot"‽

Yep. Tracking came in from Amazon early this afternoon. Hoping to crack it open at lunch tomorrow.

I was all excited about SSX, but I'm actually leaning more toward Binary Domain now myself. Eurogamer and IGN both liked it and the video reviews made it look like ridiculous robot shooty fun.

Well when you're done, could you address the TWA titles: dashes, em-dashes, double dashes; full month names, abbreviated names; it's madness!

We do that to break you out of your preconceptions and teach you that you don't need structure. It's like punk rock and stuff.
But I'll put it on my long-term to-do li-st.
