A lack of decent game news (unless you really care that Modern Warfare 3 has just set a new record for simultaneous online play or that the Japanese are buying shitloads of 3DS consoles because of Mario 3D Land), late-in-the-year holidays and just too many games have slowed us down a bit.
So far we’re all coming to terms with all the good games being released all at once but expect reviews of the following November releases soon;
Dodonpachi Resurrection – more vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up madness from genre-masters Cave. So far we like it but it is fucking nails hard.
Skyrim – fuck trying to get exclusives, games like this need to be played, experienced and judged on their merits, not their press-releases. We’ll get you our thoughts on it once we’ve broken the back of it. So far though, looking promising.
Saints Row: The Third – THQ’s GTA-killing series is back a fortnight too early for our tastes (Skyrim, man) but we’ll be diving into this four-player gangster game next week and reviewing it as soon as we can.
Modern Warfare 3 – fuck, man. We’ve had it here all week and haven’t touched it. Skyrim, man. We will though.
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations – we really need to open up that sealed copy of Brotherhood first.
So expect plenty of review sauce in your faces nice and soon. In the meantime, the only news we got is that Scribblenauts is temporarily 69p on iTunes. Probably worth a look then. Rich
