Monday Morning New Releases and ShackReviews

August 29, 2005 8:00 AM

Well, I'm all moved in. This rescheduled ShackReviews/Release Schedule post will be the last inconvenience imparted on you, dear Shackers, due to me having an aparment full of boxes and no internet. Plus, Maarten taught me how to do the screenshots, so now you've got those too! Anyway, don't forget to request the games you want added to the database. And get those ShackReviews in!

Games were not really on the menu for me this past week. I did, however, manage to meet up with a buddy and play some multiplayer Meteos (DS) for the first time. Hooray!

Realms of the Haunting is easily one of the greatest games nobody ever played. Loved that game and everyone I've ever talked to that has played it loved it as well.

  I agree one hundred and ten percent... It has to be about the most undervalued game ever, even beating out System Shock 2. Too bad there isn't an easy way for people to experience it...

    Does anyone know where I can find the demo? I've had no luck finding a working copy of the full game, so I'd at least like to play that. All my attempts to track down the demo thus far have just led me to dead links, so any help would be much appreciated.
