We've got some good titles coming out this week ready to steal my hard earned money. Devil May Cry 4 is definitely on my list and I'm kind of curious about this Assassin's Creed game on the DS. I've been playing a bit of Culdcept Saga and found myself oddly addicted. I guess it's the tabletop gaming nerd in me rearing its geeky head again. What's on your list this week?
Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, X360)
The stylish fighting styles are back with a whole new hero.
Turok (X360, PS3, PC)

I'll be getting DMC4, but not sure when. Maybe in a month or during the summer.
"The fate of Altair rests in the palm of your hand."
...
that ones almost too easy
finally. some dmc4....that'll get me thru the first 2 or 3 weeks of february. then patapon!
I'm interested in Assassin's Creed...but the fact that it pretty much came out of nowhere means I'll be waiting for some reviews on that one.
Good thing Turok didn't come out last week.
wasnt there just a kotaku story about this?
I've had Twisted Metal preordered for a couple of weeks. I can't wait to play it. good thing I played the hell out of Assassins Creed and beat it today. AC is a great game too.
DMC4 on PS3 for me. Oh wait, I already have it ;)
here it is.
Can Someone Tell Touchstone Turok Came Out Three Days Ago?

Feb 6th. DMC4. PS3 version. I'm going to kill the living hell out of that game like it's 2001 all over again.
LAME ASS WII RELEASES.
i get to stroke a horse and sing about it...
God help the PC market >.<
Got my hands on a PS3 copy.
I dont give a shit about achievements.
My 360 weeps.
isnt that a haiku?
Already ordered DMC4. I'll probably pick up Culdcept early next year in a bargain bin and be pleasantly surprised, but I can't rationalize a purchase right now.
@Lain: Perhaps. The PS3 version has achievements and they do use the XMB to an extent. I've played over 12 hours so far and have several of them unlocked now.
DMC4. Collectors. PS3. 2/4/2008.
Maybe Nobunaga's Ambition If its anything like Romance of the 3 Kingdoms ill have fun for a few months.
This rather tame flow of quality games is a lot more manageable than the Q4 War of '07, and for this I am grateful. I might get Devil May Cry 4 at some point, the demo was much more fun than I thought it'd be.
My Horse and Me? Huh. Sounds about as exciting as the John Deere farming game that just came out a while back, or last year's Lionel train game (seriously, WTF were they thinking when they came up with some of these games?).
DMC4 for me. Probably gonna nab the collector's edition for it too. The pure "blue-ness" of the case looks better than the regular edition to me.
Also, should be receiving Lunar Eternal Blue on Sega CD any day now...yippee!
@Lain: Nnnnnnno. No it is not :P
Already ordered CULDCEPT. I'm a proud member of the "50-medal club" in the PS2 original - played it over 200 hours over 3 years. So I've been waiting for SAGA for a long time.
Culdcept and DMC3 are in my top 4 games of all time (along with Perfect Dark and Smash Melee), so DMC4 is also an eventual must-own. But for $20 cheaper, I'll start with Culdcept and grab DMC later on.
DMC4 PS3 for me...then Lost Odyssey next week. What a great month for games!
@Purple Dave: "Cheggers' Quiz" takes the cake. It's the only game that's actually made me want to physically throw up when I see it on the shelves in shops. If there's any sense or mercy in the world, its release was limited to the UK.
I'm getting the PS3 ver. of DMC4, can't wait to pick it up this tuesday! x]
i'llll rent DMC4 and consider buying it next year when ever I have those combo urges
I was undecided on DMC4, but after playing through the demo a couple of times, I liked it enough to preorder.
I'll be picking up DMC4 and Culdcept Saga.
@Lain: That is no haiku
You Didn't Even Come Close
See what I did there.
I'll be picking up DMC4 soon, Love the comments under the games.
Ah, Assassin's creed. that was faster than I had expected. I hope it's good. Culdcept sounds a little funny. You always have to wonder whats going on when they put the name of the devs in teh game.
Might pick up DMC4 for 360, no point in getting PS3 and having to swap consoles all the time
Already picked up and beat Turok. I really didn't think it was as bad as everyone was making it out to be. The pacing was top notch and the flash backs reminded me of that movie The Hunted. Also seeing the guy with your team's flag get tackled by a raptor and then shooting him when he's down is never getting old.
Other than that DMC4 - beat the Burial in the demo like 10 times already (so getting an S on that level) and I can't wait.
im buying my horse and me , hell yes
Super Smash Bros Melee
No More Heroes
Tomb Raider Anniversary
R-Type III
Axelay
I'm hoping all this will keep me busy til Brawl next month
You guys missed one! Sins of a Solar Empire! It's basically a space based 4x game, except real time, from the same people that made the underrated Galactic Civilizations series.
[www.sinsofasolarempire.com]
I've played the beta, and it's pretty good, partly because it's very different from anything else out there. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes both 4x and RTS games.
@RabidWombat: Oh wait never mind. I missed it the first time. Oh well, it still has my support.
DMC4...:'(
I'm still without my 360 after its sudden departure half way through Mass Effect, over a month ago. Imagine my glee when I received my newly repaired 360 on Monday, with fully working motherboard, ready to finish Mass Effect- only to find that the disc drive *will not open*. It looks like they sorted the motherboard and simply forgot to reconnect the DVD drive power after repairs.
Imagine my further glee (and this is the salt on the wound, people) when I was told I was entitled to a *free game* as a result, selecting 'Viva Piñata' as my choice from the [rather limited] list- only to find that, instead, the game's horribly disfigured progeny, 'Viva Piñata: Party Animals' was sent in the post.
My broken 360 now waits packaged (using old plastic bags) in a box that says 'Back Bacon' on it. So no, I will not be enjoying the thrills of demon [or Piñata] slaying any time soon.
Rant over. Sympathy: Enabled.
My Horse and Me! Excellent!
5th - DMC4
12th - Lost Odyssey
26th - Lost : Via Domus
I'll be quite occupied this month.
They still make video games?
I just thought 3 new songs came out for Rock Band every week and that was supposed to hold you over until the next 3 7 days later......
DMC4 on PS3. Hopefully it, Burnout Paradise, Lotro, and my dog can help me get through this long month leading to Smash Bros... *shiver*
@Draig:
That's quality customer service for ya...
Anyway DMC4 (PS3) for me. I'm ready to get me some demon slayer lovin.
I'm only buying My Horse and Me if it allows me to use grenades to take out swarms of enemies.
I mean, that's a feature that redefined the horse-raising genre, and I'm all for seeing it in other titles.
Buying Culdcept this week, my copy of No More Heroes is also expected to arrive. Waiting to see more reviews on DMC4, the demo didn't drive me particularly wild.
A new Nobunaga game? Bitchin'! I'm actually pretty stoked to hear about that, I'll probably get it - when does it hit? Tuesday? Wednesday?
I plan on getting DMC4 next week when I get my copy of Lost Odyssey. Those two will keep me busy, along with school until Brawl gets here.
DMC4 takes precedence over other purchases right now, especially because I'm getting the CE...maybe. I'm going to make sure it's what I want before I plunk down the 70 or so dollars...
Getting Nobunaga ASAP, surprising no one.
I heard Turok had bad aiming controls, which isn't very helpful when being attacked by velociraptors and T-Rexes.
DMC4 and eventually Culdcept for me.
Been waiting for Sins of a Solar Empire since...
Well, since I can remember at least. =D
I'll be getting DMC4 for sure :) (have the CE pre-ordered).
I'll wait on see on the other games depending on several reviews.
Gonna be importing DMC4 considering the stupid PS3 prices in the UK. Damned retailers.
@RabidWombat: Really? From the Gal Civ kids? I'll have to pick it up, then. Thanks for the info.
DCM4 on 360 for me. Or maybe I'll wait till I get back from overseas. Ah choices.
DMC4 definitely.
I'm still waiting for, no more heroes to be released in Canada! like seriously WTF! why does it have to take more time for a game to come to Canada, when its already available in the States!
= still pissed that Culdcept Saga is for 360. Nothing this week. Still working on Ass Creed, Uncharted, Killer 7, PixelJunk Monsters.
I'm shocked no one's really interested in Downstream Panic. From what I've seen the game's beautiful and should be a blast to play. I'm this close to buying a PSP and the only games I'd be buying it for would be Patapon, Downstream Panic and Disgaea.
In for DMC for PS3
Picked up Turok for Playstation 3 and I'm loving it. DMC4 for 360 or PS3 will be a purchased down the road once I finish DMC2 and 3. Interested in Twisted Metal: Head On, but probably won't get it.
I think the meant "facepalm" instead of "palm of your hand", on the Ubisoft one.
I'm getting Nobunaga, DMC4 and .... CULDCEPT!!!! Finally! I've been waiting since it was announced like 2 years agos!
I hated DMC3 and stopped playing it after 10 minutes, but the demo for
