GTA Chinatown Wars, DS
Rockstar North/Rockstar Leeds, March 20, M
By Glenn "Cluckin Bell" Given production@hippopress.com
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, but mostly drug-running, city-spanning mayhem that fits in your pocket.
Killzone 2 (PS3)
Guerilla Games, Feb. 27, M
By Glenn "Invert Y Axis" Given production@hippopress.com
In the lexicon of first-person shooters I’m not very good at, Killzone ranks near the top.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 (PC)
Relic Entertainment, Feb. 19, M
By Glenn "More Dakka" Given production@hippopress.com
Acclaimed Homeworld devs inject the evolutional mechanics of their critical darling RTS Company of Heroes to the tabletop sci-fi nightmarescape of Warhammer 40k, again, but this time with feeling.
Street Fighter IV (360/PS3)
Capcom, Feb 17, T
By Glenn "Psycho Crusher" Given production@hippopress.com
Don’t believe you can handle high-end fighting games? Sure you can.
Flower, PS3
ThatGameCompany, Feb. 12, E
By Glenn "Stamen" Given production@hippopress.com
The creators of flOw tempt you to drop more hallucinogens and while two hours away playing something soothing and beautiful with Flower.
Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii)
Nintendo, Nov. 16, E
By Glenn "Sproing" Given production@hippopress.com
If you slogged hours of hunter gathering in the Gamecube standout Animal Crossing, or especially in its handheld descendent Animal Crossing Wild World, AC:City Folk will be no suprise.
2008 in games
A big gain for Sony, Wii scrambles into 2nd place
By Glenn "Eric Roberts" Given production@hippopress.com
While all three major consoles had a strong year, Sony’s Playstation 3 is the machine that left 2008 in the best shape. Yes, the PS3 and XBOX 360 jockeyed back and forth through the year, each planting their second-place flags in different months on different continents. And yes, the Nintendo Wii is the great uniter at family gatherings. But let’s be a bit more realistic.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (PS3/360)
Capcom/Backbone Entertainment
By Glenn "Red Tornado" Given production@hippopress.com
Yoga Fire!
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, (MAC/PC)
Blizzard Entertainment, Nov. 13, T
By Glenn "11/0/60" Given production@hippopress.com
I’ve played World of Warcraft for 78 days, 17 hours, 3 minutes and 58 seconds. That’s not I’ve owned Warcraft for 78 days, 17 hours, 3 minutes and 58 seconds. No, nonono, since its release in 2004 I’ve been logged in and playing WoW for almost 1,889 hours, that’s a few hours short of twice the time Noah spent in the Ark and (fuzzy mathulations) roughly 8 percent of my waking hours over the past four years. So I’m a tad biased toward the franchise.
Left 4 Dead, (PC/360)
Valve Corporation, Nov. 18, M
By Glenn "Molotov cocktail" Given production@hippopress.com
OH NOES! THEY DIDN’T TELL ME ZOMBIES COULD RUN!
