Over at the lamentably neglected Lamethrower, Jason McMaster has combed the upcoming games list of EB Games to skewer any and all disposable, improbable, silly or stupid titles slated to be unleashed as festering boils upon the communcal consciousness of gaming.

I particularly sympathize with this commentary on Rush

The Rush series makes its way onto the PSP, with Wi-Fi support and an exclusive PSP stunt arena.

You know, the first time I saw this game title I immediately tried to figure out if I'd play as Geddy Lee or Neil Peart first. I was daydreaming about how sweet it would be to play an ACTUAL game of Big Money, make someone actually Stick It Out, living in the Limelight or just be the bad ass Tom Sawyer. I was wrong, it's a racing game.

He also has an issue with Every Extend Extra, betraying him as an ignorant clod who doesn't recognize it as the sequel to a brilliant PC puzzle game/SHMUP. But the remainder of the list mitigates the clod factor to a good extent. Florian Eckhardt
