Monday Evening New Releases and ShackReviews

Lots of DS titles this week. Any word on Mechwarrior, ZX, or that cooking game?

Harvest Moon DS - gonna be any good?

Company of Heroes is going to own.

PS - DS Lite colors black and pink come out this week in the US.

Didn't know NHL 2k7 was xbox only.

If I didn't have friends all getting NHL 07, I'd probably be leaning more towards 2k7. <sigh>

Square Enix developed Mario Hoops 3-on-3?

Cooking Mama: They should have licensed Iron Chef for this game. A little better graphics and sounds and some funky recipes and they could have charge full price for it. And I would have bought a DS just to play it.

Who the hell is letting marketing make names like H.E.A.V.E.N. or S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Jesus, shoot these people for the sake of our journalists.

Sometimes its hard to tell whether or not a game is a sequel, expansion, cheap cash-in or other by the name.

For example - My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow. Is this the sequel to My Little Pony Crystal Princess, or just an expansion. Like where does it fit into the My Little Pony Crystal Princess universe?

My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow: Episode 1 would be a little more clear.

Prequel maybe? The last one I remember was My Little Pony Crystal Princess 2: Pony Outcast, but I'm pretty sure they followed that up with Crystal Princess Pony Outcast 2: Pony Academy, to make that more confusing.

Where does the runaway rainbow fit in and how did the crystal princess survive the final encounter of the previous episode. The publisher pitch is really vague on this.

NHL 07 should be EA Canada. Maybe you're thinking of Bloodrayne 07.

Wooo hockey!!!!!!!!!
