Sept 22nd - 28th

Section: 

Loads of games coming out this week as we speed toward the end of the month. It looks like Freedom Fighters may be the surprise hit of the month if Gamespot's latest 9.3 review is anything to go by. If that doesn't do it for you we have some arcade sports titles, 3D platformers, tactics and even a little Dance Dance to get your blood pumping.

As for me, I'll be spending most of my time playing Box Packer 2: This Time We Have More Tape. Hoochie and I are preparing for the big move to our new house this weekend and we're both all a titter with excitement. If you don't hear from me next week it's probably because my internet isn't re-connected yet. Just imagine I'm weeping on the floor and you probably won't be far off the mark.

The BIG Games

Freedom Fighters
Platform: PC, GC, Xbox, PS2
Ships: Sept 23rd
Price: $39.99

The Buzz: Gamespot recently gave the game (from the makers of Hitman 2) a 9.3 for both the PC version and the Xbox version. That doesn't seem to fit with the demo I played but what do I know?

Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo
Platform: Xbox, GC, PS2
Ships: Sept 23rd
Price: $39.99

The Buzz: I got nothin' on this one, I've barely heard a thing about it. I love the series so hopefully it pans out but who knows.

DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution
Platform: PS2
Ships: Sept 23rd
Price: $39.99

The Buzz: More Dance Dance for the crazy among you.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Platform: GC
Ships: Sept 23rd
Price: $39.99

The Buzz: This is most definitely a 3D platform game for the kids if the demo was anything to go by. IGN recently gave it an 7.7 confirmed my suspicions.

Voodoo Vince
Platform: Xbox
Ships: Sept 23rd
Price: $39.99

The Buzz: A "wacky" 3D platformer, I don't know much about it but if the reviews are good it may be worth a rent.

NBA Jam
Platform: PS2, Xbox
Ships: Sept 23rd
Price: $49.99

The Buzz: Are they still making these games? I think the last one I played was on the SNES. Haven't heard a peep about this one.

Dynasty Tactics 2

Oh, ohh, Twin Peaks!  I HAVE to get that......for my mom.

 

Seriously, is there a market for this?  What's next, Magnum P.I.?

My roomate has had the Twin Peaks First Season for well over a year? So whats up with that?

Daddy Day Care!?  I'll be waiting at Tower Records & Video at midnight for this gem.

And now, the Out of Context Theater...

we're both all a titter

This has been the Out of Context Theater.

Who wouldn't want a DVD full of Tom Selleck ass kicking. Magnum P.I. kicks all kinds of Female Doggoes in the ass, and drives a pimp car, word.

Twin Peaks was quite the cult hit back when it premiered. Yes I'm only 28 and remember it well. Cult show = DVD sales
