What's Out This Week?

[AndyKurosaki]

Yeah the ever reliable AVGN ripped it a new arsehole. Why subtitle it The Final Fight as well? Utterly bizarre.

Middle Earth looks amazing, was not expecting that. May trade-in for it perhaps.

So... Vib Ribbon is out tomorrow on PSN.

[ratsoalbion]

Crucial question is: Can you insert audio CDs into a PS3 to make 'levels' as per the original?

[mikeleddy83]

I've heard you can, 99% sure it's a reliable source.

[ratsoalbion]

Neato!

No MP3 support though apparently (unsurprisingly). Similarly no added (virtual) memory card option or online leaderboards I assume.

[dezm0nd]

I think the EU release is next week.

[Pitwar]

I'm very much looking forward to DriveClub so will be picking that up this week for sure.

Also fancy Alien Isolation but I'll likely wait for a price drop on that. Although it's been getting some good feedback I've been burnt one too many times with games based on franchises I love.

Getting Bayonetta 2+ 1 Special Edition for the price of the "normal" Bayo 2 edition. Thanks Amazon! Thamazon.

[dezm0nd]

Three Platinum Games in one week. It's a good time to be alive!

[Scrustle]

Bayonetta! Finally. Feels like it's been forever. It definitely has been a long time. Korra is coming out on Tuesday as well, and I'm excited for that too.

I didn't know Shadow Warrior was coming out next week as well. That has always looked kind of interesting to me. Might get that at some point.

Didn't know Shantae was coming out so soon either. Or well, one of the two upcoming Shantae games anyway. I've only played a tiny bit of one of those games. The one that they made free on iOS a while back. That wasn't a good place to play a game like that, but the concept of them is pretty interesting, and the art always looks really good as well.

And NFS. So there is an NFS coming out this year after all. It's just last year's game again. Although, I have been thinking about giving the Criterion version of Most Wanted another chance recently, but the demo has long since disappeared from the XBL marketplace. That seems to happen a lot with demos actually. It's annoying. Actually, the fact that Rivals never had a demo was one of the major reasons I didn't even give it a go. I wanted to, but going by the series' track record, I wasn't about to do that without being able to try before I buy. So EA, you had a chance to bring me back, but you wouldn't let me.

[Flabyo]

Probably going to take the gamble on the Korra game. I don't always get on with Platinum's style of combat, but I'm hoping this is a little more accessible than Bayonetta was (to me).
