The Week Ahead Nov 20th to 26th
With all the new console playing going on this weekend, it's no wonder I completely forgot that I'm in charge of the ol' Week Ahead this week. It's safe to say that after the post-console launch afterglow (that could be rage, you should have that checked out) there isn't a lot coming out. The choice for the Game of the Week is clear, Rainbow Six: Las Vegas takes the cup thanks to a full compliment of coop play, multiplayer modes and slot machines.
On DVD this week we have Boston Legal - Season 2, Ice Age - The Meltdown, An Inconvenient Truth, Star Trek The Animated Series - The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek and more!

Zelda not the choice of the week?! Holy crap Certis, do you realize what you have done?
Of course, I would have picked Totally Spies! 2: Undercover.
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
Zelda was released on Sunday, so it doesn't qualify
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
And last week it was left out because it wasn't coming out until this week.
Admit it Certis, you just hate Zelda!
Rabble rabble rabble!

full complement of Zelda haterade.

I support Certis's judgement, you tight-wearing nancy boys. Strap up, there's terrorists to kill.

Oooh, now they turn their hate filled rage and GotW questioning on you. How does it feel?
How does it FEEL?!
"I think Elysium has the right of it" - Certis
Technically, the week begins on Sunday.
Blackhand - Asyda (65 mage), Risquei (60 rogue)
Baelgun - Asyia (69 priest) Zhazha (60 druid)
Yeah at least Elysium uses the proper homophone when he picks a crappy Game of the Week.
"All that time you waste dating and having sex could be better spent scouring the web for new game developer press releases." - Quintin_Stone
Listen to the flowery puppy, it speaks the truth!
WE DEMAND A RECALL.
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
Yeah! That's righ --- heeey!
"I think Elysium has the right of it" - Certis
And Drive to Survive for the PS2 on 11/20!
Seriously, will this game ever come out? Looks like the xbox version may not (dropped off the site at EB).

All hail Sneak King!

I believe it was one of the founding fathers that said, "Sometimes it is better to blindfire your shotgun into the groins of your enemies than to not do that." It was almost in the Bill of Rights. Good choice, Certis.

I vote for a new rule: no "new" old Nintendo games that are download for the Wii are allowed in the New Releases list. Come on, Altered Beast? Sim City?
Oh yes, 2nd new rule: Any time any version of Zelda comes out, it is automatically the game of the week.
I think it's a good heads-up for new download content. I suggest, good sir, that you suck it up. Maybe Zelda will help.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
Did anyone grab Super Mario 64?

There's an expansion pack for Oblivion coming out? I had absolutely no idea
Roo: "Just to cheer you up if any of the above made you sad: Boobies."
Koning_Floris, on my online 'skills': "Stinking is a skill too!"
It's more like a big ole' chunk of DLC, from what I understand.

Do all new downloadable 360 games get posted? Serious question, I haven't noticed.
And Zelda always helps.
Well, the list isn't made by us, it's made by our pal from Gametab. I believe he does include the 360 games when they are actually announced in time, but MS likes to wait until Monday to announce the Wednesday downloads. We get the list on Sunday.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
I did, but have not played.
The Wavebird was on the second floor of the house, I was in the basement and Zelda was in the basement. I just couldn't be arsed to walk up two flights of stairs to get the Wavebird. The eye candy of Zelda wouldn't let me leave.

Sweet, I've been waiting for Lawnmower Racing Mania 2007 as long as I can remember. And I think we all know it didn't get GotW because of pure politics.

Gave it a whirl last night with the Wavebird and it played just fine. The only thing I noticed was that the game itself seems a bit choppy. It could have been like that in the original but I don't have a copy of it for my N64 so I can do a side by side comparison unfortunately.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.
