Wolfenstein looks pretty stupid, but I forgot about Battlefield.

Oh, and the usual EA Sports fare. That's about it, I guess.

Looking forward to Fight Night Round 4.

But really, Overlord II, Battlefield, Batman and Madden are the only things I really want this summer.

For the Wii there is White Men Can't Jump 2, Wii Sports Resort, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Little King's Story

For PSP there is Dissidia Final Fantasy

For PS3/360 there is Blazblue, KoFXIII, Batman Arkham Asylum and Fight Night 4

Overlord 2 and BF1943 are summer games?

Anno 1404 this week on the PC. Supposedly ArmA 2 is coming out here in the US soon (this week?) but I bet it gets delayed.

dunno about dem there fancy game machines though, leave that to the whippersnappers.

the videos of the game look insane

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #13 on:** June 22, 2009, 03:14:09 PM »

I'm on the fence about Dawn of Discovery. Its console anno for $30. Might pick up conduit, if its playable.
I'm nerding out over Wii Sports Resort info. I've been mostly into Tiger 10 these days because m+ is great. I just want more m+ games now.

Is Oboro Murasama coming out this summer? Little Kings Story I'm gonna pick up, it's all I'm interested in ATM.

It will be my first 360 game bought at full retail.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2009, 03:44:25 PM »

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Devil Survivor tomorrow.

I got another free $25 Gamestop gift card through e-rewards. It will be used on one of these games.

It's out July 14th, apparently.

demi · « **Reply #21 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:01:07 PM »

Ok guys he said good games.

The only correct answer is Overlord 2 & Shadow Complex

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #22 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:14:33 PM »

I can only think of Holy Invasion of Privacy... and Dissidia. Also buy Knights in the Nightmare if you haven't already

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #23 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:21:32 PM »

Steambot Chronicles Battle Tournament comes out for the PSP next week, I'm definitely getting that.

MCD · « **Reply #24 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:50:26 PM »

I'm buying BlazBlue for sure, KOF online seems fucked up (clan on psn and some other shit on 360 lol) so will wait a bit or just buy it used.

and there is always XBLA.

Andowsky · « **Reply #25 on:** June 22, 2009, 05:34:35 PM »

Madden
Battlefield 1943

Maybe NCAA, demo plays like the same cheesefest offensive game 09 was though. Maybe Madden will be trash again too.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is July, right?

Bildi · « **Reply #26 on:** June 22, 2009, 06:38:08 PM »

Yeah, Overlord II. DiRT 2 is out sometime in the next few months too (I think) if that's your bag.

Ellrick · « **Reply #27 on:** June 22, 2009, 08:11:47 PM »

Batman is a no brainer, I buy Batman games even if they look like shit, and Arkham Asylum looks awesome.

Selling SF4 on PS3 and buying it on Steam.

Wii Sports Resort is a must because itll be fun with my daughter.

Call of Juarez looks interesting, Ill check it out.

Pretty sparse! Thank god TF2 is always there for me.

Guybrush Threepwood · « **Reply #28 on:** June 22, 2009, 08:17:30 PM »

Battlefield 1943 seems like it's pissing all over the series.

Regenerating health? Infinite ammo? Really?

pilonv1 · « **Reply #29 on:** June 22, 2009, 08:32:37 PM »

why would you play BF 1943 when Team Fortress 2 is already out?

and just in case you forgot the Conduit is out in two days, IGN has you covered

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #35 on:** June 22, 2009, 11:28:17 PM »

Definitely picking up KoFXII and Devil Survivor, but that's about all that I can see myself buying this summer. Besides a U.S. copy of Blue Dragon ($10 WHAT WHAT) since my J-360's disc drive stopped working.

bork · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2009, 11:36:13 PM »

Definitely getting Blaz Blue and KOF XII (on both systems) for sure. Not sure about anything else. Might get Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires tomorrow, but I don't know about the latter. I have Musou Orochi Z for PS3 mostly-unplayed and that's really enough.

IGN review:

Quote

It's not revolutionary, but the Conduit is a great first-person shooter designed just for Wii owners. While the game does not turn the genre upside-down, it is innovative in certain areas -- for example, it features the most customizable, precise and enjoyable controls of any console shooter created, hands down. Meanwhile, the technology powering the experience is leaps and bounds ahead of most third- party offerings for Nintendo's system. Combined, you've got a game that controls flawlessly and looks great. If you're okay with a few presentational cliches -- a story involving aliens that seems played out -- and a shooting experience that rarely strays from straightforward running and gunning, you're probably going to love the end product. If, on the other hand, you own another system, nothing The Conduit offers, fantastic controls aside, will seem extraordinary. Supposing you are a single console owner, though, High Voltage's shooter not only delivers a fun single-player quest, but an engaging online mode that will keep you fragging complete with WiiSpeak support for months to come.

8.0    Presentation
Variations of this storyline have been told a dozen times in shooters, but the presentation is still well done. Intriguing cut-scenes, great acting, and a variety of options make The Conduit pop.

8.5    Graphics
The Conduit's art is sometimes outperformed by its tech, but the end experience is still visually pleasing. An outstanding 3D engine allows for graphical effects uncommon in most Wii games.

8.0    Sound
Fantastic voice work, sound effects with genuine umph and catchy music. WiiSpeak sometimes drowns out the music and sound effects during online play.

8.0    Gameplay
If we were just rating gameplay control, it'd be a perfect score. The Conduit is a fun first-person shooter, but beware: it's also a straightforward one. Run and gun, enemy spawners, and little else.

9.0    Lasting Appeal
Between five and a half and eight hours for the single-player mode, which you can come back to for achievements. But the multiplayer mode will last months, if not longer.

8.6
Great    OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Well IGN inflates all their scores by at least 2 points and all games on Nintendo systems are overrated by 1 point so The Conduit is actually a 5.6 game.

Akala · « **Reply #39 on:** June 23, 2009, 01:09:16 PM »

Cassaasssaassmina is also taking up the flag of trying to get wii owners to buy pretty much any decent 3rd party offering. Remember the Madworld review?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #40 on:** June 23, 2009, 01:11:30 PM »

if i still owned a wii i would probably buy the conduit

doesn't look groundbreaking in any way, but a decent generic fps is, at the end of it, still a decent game

Akala · « **Reply #44 on:** June 23, 2009, 01:49:20 PM »

Maybe that's why EB didn't have it listed yet.

IIRC didn't the first one come out at a time when there weren't many other releases?
