Things are picking up once again with the releases with some nice games coming out this week. Click here to see the Upcoming Releases for this week with games such as Heavy Rain, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and Last Rebellion among others. I know I’ll be playing a lot of Heavy Rain and Sonic and Sega All-Stars, what will you be getting?

There may be a lot of you out there that are like “Sega Master System? Sonic the Hedgehog? Don’t you mean the Sega Genesis?” Nope, I do not. While not very popular here in the US, Sega had a system out before the Genesis called the Sega Master System that was the 8-bit competition to the NES system and Sega supported it well into the Genesis’ life-cycle so they, of course, made Sonic for the Master System as well. The reason I am reviewing the game is because many people may not realize that instead of a dumbed down port of the Genesis game, it is actually a whole new game and therefore worth a look for platform game fans.
A new year with some new releases… Just not too many this week. The coming weeks will be quite busy with releases, but this week sees Dark Void, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection for Wii and the PS2 port of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. When I have to put a couple of budget PC releases of game shows just to fill the widget you know you have a slow week. The demo for Dark Void is available to download now, but I have yet to try it.
Today’s review title is one of the longest just because of the amount of consoles it is available for. Gunstar Heroes is a classic side scroller run and gun shooter along the lines of Contra. It was Treasure’s first game and the company was formed by former Konami employees that worked on Contra so it all makes sense. If you enjoy classic shooters like that especially playing 2 player co-op you owe it to yourself to get this game, but which version?
The Upcoming Releases page has been updated again after a few weeks off. This week sees the release of both Band Hero and LEGO Rock Band which are the more “family friendly” versions of the respective franchises. Since LEGO Rock Band has “The Final Countdown” by Europe it automatically wins in my mind. If music games aren’t your thing (or you don’t want to buy ANOTHER one after 10 have come out this year alone) there is also Dragon Age: Origins which looks pretty sweet for fans of Baldurs Gate, the Ultimate Sith Edition of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for those looking for new content that is released as a full game instead of DLC, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, and Rabbids Go Home for Wii which is more of an adventure game than the mini-game collections they have been known for until now. There are others as well so take a look at the page.
Wii Review: No More Heroes
Oct 12
Back in August I did a review for Yakuza on the PS2. Today I am reviewing another game that is very “Japanese” in style (but in a different way) and also did not do very well. Unlike Yakuza, the sequel
Now that I have a review up for Dr. Mario Online RX (WiiWare) I have updated my Dr. Mario Express review a bit. Click here to see my updated Dr. Mario Express review.
I know this may be shocking to those reading this, but Dr. Mario Online RX is Dr. Mario…. Online. It’s a WiiWare downloadable title, but what does it include and is it worth it?
Dr. Mario Express is one of many "Express" versions of games on DSiWare (which many can think of as "lite" if that makes it easier). Many have played this many times before, so is this latest version worth getting?
I updated the Upcoming Releases page so it should have the majority of the new releases for this week in games, plus a few in the future that people are looking forward to. Check it out.
