I don't care for Play, but

Is the GC release schedule really that dry?

 

[Mama Smurf]

* Robots = 6.5
* Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict = 6.5

ELEMENT AM CRY?

 

[Ryudo]

So Play is cool now huh ?

 

[VALIS]

While 8.0 is a good score, I'm a bit disappointed Kasai didn't do better. Then again, most reviewers didn't really jibe with Mark of Kri either, so fuck them. :lol

Is the GC release schedule really that dry?

Only 23 games listed in "coming soon" at EB Games.

GC: 23
XB: 85
PS2: 70

Is the GC release schedule really that dry?

Hardly scientific, but GC is looking sort of Dreamcast-esque right now:

EB Games "Coming Soon":
GC: 23 items
Xbox: 93 items (includes at least two T-shirts... WTH?)
PS2: 71 items

Hopefully it'll pick up a little.. not that I'm buying a lot of games right now, working to clear out my backlog.

EDIT: Damn other people posting at Gaming-Age.

Actually it's...

PlayStation 2: 73 games
Xbox: 86 games
GameCube: 21 games

Game Boy Advance: 37 games
Nintendo DS: 28 games
PlayStation Portable: 17 games
N-Gage: 7 games

...though interestingly, the Xbox section lists quite a few multiplatform games the PS2 & GC sections are missing (Harry Potter, Burnout 4, Chicken Little, Hulk 2, etc).

Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2 = 8.0

Same as Tekken 5. :lol

Did you play the demo? It was really bad. And I say this as someone who LOVES Mark of Kri.

It's nice to see that DS games are getting pretty O.K. reviews. So far there are THREE DS games that are worthy. Apparently they're all Nintendo published too -- third-parties need to start embracing this thing or PSP is going down.

 

[God's Hand]

8.0 is an O.K. review? 8.0 is more like an excellent review if you ask me.

 

[enjoy bell woods]

As much as I want Psychonauts to be really awesome, don't let Play's 9.0 mean anything to you. Dave Halverson is notorious for overrating every platformer that has ever existed.

 

[Mrbob]

Dynasty Warriors PSP a 7.5 and Dynasty Warriors 5 a 6?!

All reviews null and void!

 

[Crazymoogle]

Game Boy Advance

* Racing Gears Advance = 7.0

*Looks at review score
*Looks at game box
*Looks at ads

?????

*Goes back to being lost in Illinois
