Sunday Evening New Releases and ShackReviews
by Chris Remo, Apr 23, 2006 3:15pm PDTThere's another big batch of new releases this week. PS2 gets the much awaited Ace Combat Zero, Guild Wars gets its standalone Factions (PC) campaign, and Benoit Sokal's anticipated Paradise (PC) finally comes out. Sokal is the designer behind the Syberia games, two of the better received traditional adventures of the last few years. Personally, I wasn't a huge Syberia fan; the games always felt too sterile and noninteractive for me, but I know a lot of adventure fans enjoyed them so it should be interesting to see how Paradise does. DS also has sort of an odd trio of games this week, with a fighter in the form of Guilty Gear Dust Strikers, a Taito RPG/RTS called LostMagic, and--of all things--a Top Gun combat flight sim game. Go figure.

They really need to stop outsourcing the naming of games to stoned teenagers hanging outside the local arby's and hire themselves a proper marketing department.

Assuming that you <a href="http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=189">don't already have it</a>.
Also, I'm gonna try to review a bit more games onwards. It won't be a weekly thing since I suck at finishing games and I probably won't bother writing anything for games that already got 3+ decent reviews. ;)
