Another week of gaming
The long weekend is over which means of course, more games!
My local Gamestop informed me that Forza 2 and Shadowrun were “shipping” today and not released, which really sucks. MS is usually good about getting product out for ‘release’ dates, but this was not the case this time around. In the 15 minutes I was there, the phone was ringing off the hook about Forza. Lots of people are bummed.
The GameStop only received two game guides for Forza…which is terrible. I normally don’t do game guides unless I get ‘em free, hey I’m a cheap bastard…but after seeing the track layouts and the 250+ manual, it seemed like this was money well spent. Photos and track layouts don’t look good in ASCII on gamefaqs….
In other news, my Wii downloaded the two games this morning, although it did take some time. Basically, my first thought was $15 for this? Although in JJ& Jeff you do have to jump over attacking birds who will kill you by pooping on you, so that is probably worth $6. ActRaiser, on the other hand, I’m just not feeling it.
Tomorrow we are going to get Mad Tracks for the 360, which according to Major Nelson is similar to Re-Volt….let’s hope it is. I still think one of the stupid things that was done with the original XBox Live beta was to have Re-Volt but then NOT have it for the final…grrr…
In other news, Mortal Kombat was released for the Wii today so I picked that up…I also picked up the DS lawyer game becuase it was 33% off and I broke down and bought a fan for the 360 after it locked up in Star Wars …it was on sale for $10 so what can you do.
In case you missed it my MLB 07 the Show review was posted for the PlayStation 3 yesterday, click here to view it. Definitely a letdown for me.
