Sunday Afternoon Release List and ShackReviews
by Chris Remo, Aug 21, 2005 2:00pm PDTWell, you guys seemed to like the new release schedule last week, but I realized it's kind of redundant with the ShackReviews database update, so I've combined them. Hopefully this works for you. I'm keeping the same visual format, and just linking to the newly released games that have been added to the database. PC is now included as well, and I've also appended a list of games that have been added to the database but are not new releases. You know how those games get in there? You request them! EDIT: WordPad, of all things, just crashed and I lost this whole update and had to redo it all. I did not have it saved because I am an idiot. Learn from my mistakes: save your work every two seconds. EDIT 2: Woooo, I've got the only update for Sunday! Eat that, Steve and Maarten!

Comments
I've heard many people comment on how Colossus looks like a bore, due to the lack of enemies and the massive open environments. However, i find this style of gameplay to be incredibly intriguing and alot more desirable than pretty much any other game to be released soon.
It's all about the atmosphere, and i think slashing through hordes of undead to finally make it to each Colossus would completely detract from the experience.
Anyone else feel the same way?

Dude, get with the program. Try Dreamweaver (my program of choice for my loonygames, Blue's News and Shacknews runs), or if that's too high-end for you, try HomeSite or Super NoteTab.
Or if you're mac-inclined, BBEdit, the world's best text editor(TM). (Actually, BBEdit might be the world's most bloated text editor, but I don't use 99% of what it was made for. As a result, I haven't upgraded it in years).

Now I'm going to get pyschonauts for PC. Also I think they should port Pirates! to PSP. Its so simple and repetitive I think it would be a good handheld game.
