Heh, looks like Dragonball got a new cover too. Guess there's still a reason to find the original

yeah. ugh. but they're trying to sell it to small children, not you.

the in-game art sucks too, in a completely different way.

Mark my words, this will be the shitty-franchise-owning-simulator to end all shitty-franchise-owning-simulators.

Nearly all of those covers are ASS. I guess the surprise is Fatal Frame II for XBOX. I didn't know it had even been announced.

What exactly do you do with yourself in this game?

reminds me of "my dinner with andre" from the simpsons. perhaps an exciting and life-affirming adventure of the inner self?

From what little I've read of it, it's on the same plane of ideas that DDR, Eyetoy, et al are with "Activities with games!"

This one, though, is pretty much a customizable workout video.

Also: who is Ignition Entertainment? A small startup developer, or something?

I wonder how good the games will be...hrrrm.

The 'booth babe' for Yourself was trying to recruit people from the GAF luncheon at E3 to go check out their booth.

Ferricide: The thing is though, if they were just going for a kids demographic with it, they should have used art reminiscent of the game -- not some shitty 3D render with an equally shitty title font.

Oh and Rockman/Megaman Zero continues to have the best looking art this gen. I love it. Too bad I never play the games themselves though.

Syberia 2, Under the Skin and Fatal Frame 2 are the only ones that really look good. Everything else ranges from bad to to what were they thinking (Shadow of Rome and Amazing Island).

That "Amazing Island" is one of Sega's worst boxart ever this generation!! WHAT were they thinking!!! At least use the in game models, don't try to rip off Pokemone or something...I can see this game as another BOMB for Sega.

:O!!

I never would have expected that to come here. Of course, I guess this one is modern instead of the usual WWII theme with playable Hitler and all, so it's a bit less of a risk. Still...why didn't they change the title? Are Kemco on crack? Should be interesting, though, if it's at least playable.

I think the PSO games look better.

Poor Ancient, look what they've been reduced too. From Streets of Rage 2 and Beyond Oasis to.... Amazing Island. :/

So appropriate that Gretzky is in a Rangers jersey. Reflects the game very well.

Now if EA licenced the Oilers Gretzky, they might best ESPN....

New FPS perspective optional play mode with enhanced graphics
New Survival Mode
Additional extra "Happy" ending
Extra areas to explore in All Gods village
New items to uncover (Costumes and such)
Additional ghosts
Standard graphical enhancements in the main game
5.1 support
Gallery/Extras Purchase mode (according to some screens in Famitsu)

The lst of extra stuff so far (before they added the Director's Cut to the title...Here's hoping they advertise the damn game for once. It deserves to sell.

The Ignition that's releasing the stuff here is just the American publishing branch of a UK developer that, to the best of my knowledge, has been around for roundabout 2 years now. Super Dropzone came out in February of 2003 in Europe, and I'm actually sort of surprised to see it released here at all, MacLean/Dropzone being far far less of a household name in the states.

I cannot wait for this one. I loved the NES version at the time and I still have Pirates! Gold's floppies. When is it coming out?

I thought it was a new game then I looked at the title... I cannot believe it.

This yourself game is kinda weird, and yes it's a workout game and it's only $35. Interesting that they're releasing it for the Xbox instead of the PS2 where most of these weird games end up.
