New Video game releases!

[Twilight Wolf]

As a fan of "Tomb Raider," I can tell you it's not a rip-off at all. Similar game style, yes, but not a rip-off. In fact, the similarity was one of the main reasons I wanted to get it, and I'm really glad I did.

Also, skip the PS3 Slim if you want a PS3 and go for a big one - they're the same price. With so many great games and more on the way, it's well-worth the price, especially now.

Wait, why skip the slim if they're the same price?

I know, also, the PS3 has no backwards compatibility, so no way I'm buying it now.
No matter how you put it, the PS3 is a win for me.

[Twilight Wolf]

If you buy either a 20, 60, or earlier 80GB PS3 (either the "Motorstorm" bundle one or the "MGS4" bundle one) they'll play PS2 games. They'll also have SD card/Memory Stick/MS Duo/Compact Flash card readers and extra USB ports. The 20 lacks built-in WiFi, though. Any PS3 will play PS1 games. Since the PS3's price has dropped, the used ones will be cheaper, too. It's a win/win.

I'm pumped for ... the new Metroid, but [it] areisn't coming soon. ='[

Same here.

Lately, I've been on a bit of a Sword of Mana high.  Does anyone know anything about the next Mana game?

[Gamefreak]

October 27th.  Can't freaking wait.

Not much in the way of Mana, and I heard Seiken Densetsu 4 (Dawn of Mana) sucked.



Most of the World of Mana compilation have already been released I believe. There's a tactical RPG and some other stuff, but frankly not much interest from me.

You should go on and play the REAL golden thing from the series: Secret of Mana!

[DW]

Secret of Mana was amazing. The only one I've played and I loved how unique it was. I hear most of the Mana games have been bad lately though.

[jdubroxs]

Well its been out for a week or so and i finally got it! its called Prototype, its such a kick a game! I rented it once, but today i finally bought it haha. i havent got to playing it yet though

I can't speak for the others, but Sword of Mana has long cutscenes with no way of skipping through them; replaying it wouldn't be so bad if I could skip the story.

[Howl]

Aion is coming out too, MMORPG gamers like me are thinking it might kill WoW, we never know. Coming out September 22ish I believe. I can't wait!

[MagmarFire]

September 29

Reserve it at Gamestop, and get a poster and 4 postcards! 

I'm freaking counting the seconds. I literally wrote a JavaScript countdown for it. (342 hours, 49 minutes, and 56.58 seconds remain, by the way.)

Every time you say "Kingdom Hearts" a baby Kola dies. One just died.

And every time someone says that C > C++, two of them die.

[Hi no Seijin]

I was trying to dig up a Pokemon topic, but this will do just as well.

I really need to start visiting Psypokes more, because GameFreak announced not too long ago that the fifth generation Pokemon games were coming to Japan this fall.  Which probably means we can expect Gen. V to hit U.S. shores in 2011.  Until then, HeartGold and SoulSilver are being released in America on March 14 (March 25 for Australia and March 26 for Europe).  And until Valentine's Day, you can bring in your copy of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to GameStop to receive a Pikachu-colored Pichu.  Details here (opens to a PDF file, courtesy of Psypokes).

While I'm at it, Final Fantasy XIII is being released March 9.

Which means it comes out on Brawl Day! ...a.k.a. TW's birthday. Yes, I remembered.

Too bad I don't have a PS3. T_T

[The Glamour Nazi]

Looking many much forward to the pokemon game.
