Sunday Afternoon ShackReviews

Finally, a ShackReviews update that doesn't take up my entire morning. Looks like if you're a sports nut, plenty to choose from with two b-ball games, two racers, and a boxer thrown in for good measure. The ESPN/EA Sports rivalry is reheated with both camps putting out their NBA titles; which one do you guys believe takes the cake? As always, if there's a game you want in the database, see if it's already there and if not, request it!

This was the week where I didn't really get to try anything new. I did pick up Donkey Konga, but only put in less than an hour before my massive fever finally took over, leaving me in a state of complete debilitation and vulnerable to the many dangers of society, such as theft, injury, and rape. Now that I have to play catch up, one title that has caught my eye is Shadow Heats: Covenant. Any of you peeps picked it up? Share your thoughts!

    Shadow Hearts 2 is actually very good so far. I havent got that far but the ring used for attacks (and other actions) is actually not that bad and I like. Keeps the combat from being too boooring since you can try to hit the critical areas for extra damage (you can also let the computer do random calcs for this but thats no fun...)

    If I am not mistatken even a little known strategy game by the name of gladius had a similar feature. Still Star Ocean 3 combat system is even more fun IMHO, but SH2 is more gritty (cool alternate WWI background story)... at least when compared with FFX (and lets not even go to FFX-2).

    My 2 cents.
