A lot of titles this week with a spread over every system. Not a lot here that sparks my particular interests although I'll be too busy at GDC to really play much of anything. I am however looking forward to the new Ace Attorney game. Hopefully it can retain its freshness by adding a new main character. Otherwise Apollo could turn out to be the Scrappy Doo of the series.

Well, I'm picking up Apollo Justice =) Hopefully my Gamestop gets the preorder gift!
Dragon Quest Swords: You Just Paid $50 For An 8 Hour RPG
apollo justice for me
Gah, I love the first one, but I still need to finish it and the next two before Apollo. Curse time.
Nothing this week
I'd be happier with the DS Dragon Quest remakes. C'mon Square Enix!
@iamnotdryad: If a game is 8-hours long and fun why does it really matter?
@iamnotdryad: $50 for an 8 hour rpg... on rails
Im showing some love to my guilty pleasure.. Dynasty Warriors 6 on PS3.
This week is all about Apollo Justice for me!
Lame line-up, looks like I get to keep my cash at least one more week
I'll be picking up Dynasty Warriors 6 (PS3), The Club (PS3), and Apollo Justice this week.
@Lemming To The Sea:
I don't know about you but when I spend $50 on a game, particularly an RPG, I expect it to last just a bit longer than 8 hours. Sure, it could be a fun game but when I finish it and think about how I spent $50 for something that lasted me eight hours I feel like I got ripped off.
@IIGrayFoxII:
I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't damn tempted myself.
Oh nice The Club comes out this week?
I am so hoping that they didnt region lock the fucker. :x
I'll be picking up Dynasty Warriors 6.
just rock band songs for me.
i may be picking up the club (ps3) i enjoyed the demo.
Apollo Justiceeee!
The club demo for pc was lacking, but i think maybe i will give it another chance , its from bizarre after all...it can't be that bad
@Lemming To The Sea: Think about it man. As much fun I think the game could be, you're associating 8 hours with the name Dragon Quest. Maybe when it gets a little cheaper I'll pick it up. I'm sure it's a okay game, but gotta keep the money for other priorities, ya know?
Or perhaps, the DS Dragon Quest Remakes.
Oh man DW6 comes out this week... damn it im so broke...
@iamnotdryad: Shiiiiit. 8 hours for 50 dollars? Man that's a bargain!
Oh. Dragon Quest Swords! Thought we were talking about hookers again. Nevermind.
Mmm, I should pick up DW6. Too bad I'm worse than broke.
Apollo Justice and probably rent Dragon Quest later. :x
@iamnotdryad: I've spent more on things that haven't even lasted that long. Once again, if it's a good experience I could care less.
Y'know, concert tickets and whatnot.
Just picked up Lost Odyssey so that will be taking the game time this week. As well as finishing up Eternal Sonata.
@Hiro0015:
I have it pre-ordered too. Isn't the pre-order gift the Apollo keychain? I think I read that on a blog somewhere. CAN'T WAIT FOR TUESDAY! Actually, probably Wednesday. Has anyone noticed that games normally 'ship' on release dates and I guess retailers are too lazy to sell them the day they get them.
Apollo Justice <3
I'd love to have Dynasty Warriors 6 and Dragon Quest. *sigh* If only I had one of those fancy next-gen consoles. ;_;
Ah GDC. Can't wait for the new tricks they will pull to get my money this year. Bought UT3 yesterday and got 2 exams coming up. Busy week.
By RPG standards, and especially Dragon Quest standards, it takes longer to say Sword's full title than to play through it. It sounds enjoyable, but it's been released at the wrong price. It's eight hours will be well worth it when it's down to $20.
Apollo Justice, where *spoiler* Phenoix is the first client, and a card shark *spoiler*. Too bad I'm super broke at the moment.
Apollo Justice. The Ace Attorney series is the best on the DS.
finally unlocked SoTN on the Dracula x chronicles UMD... I can enjoy my Alucard action on the flight to SF in preparation for the White Wolf party. Hmm. maybe I should pack some black fingernail polish.
I want to get Apollo Justice but I just bought Rock Band and $10 worth of DLC. I just don't have the money right now.
I do not even know my next game, sad thing it might be Vegas. That is a long wait, 2007 may have been the 360s year but I am not so sure about '08. The Wii just collects dust, Nintendo announce another Zelda already!
@Witzbold: Shit it does look like its region locked.
---
BTW DQ swords is pretty terrible. Nice characters though, gameplay is terrible.
I kinda regret buying that game for the Wii when it came out here.
Its a good kids game though!
Did they just turn Dragon Quest into a rail-shooter? Is *nothing* sacred?
Apollo Justice, I've enjoyed all the Ace attorney games and look forward to this one using the Touch screen more.
Good thing I imported Phoenix Wright 3, Apollo Justice has a release date in europe but Phoenix Wright 3 isn't even confirmed to be on the way
@Witzbold: Don't you have a PS3? The PS3 version won't be region locked
i'm planing on picking up some used games this week but not anything new
Super disappointed by the reviews for DQ...although I shouldn't have expected much, cus rarely do third-party Wii games involving motion control turn out well.
Nothing really worth picking up in my opinion.
when I saw CABAL online, I was hoping for a remake of the old NES game where you played a commando that could only run along the bottom of the screen and shoot the enemies in a faux 3d environment
good times.
@Kyle81: I kinda dont like playing shooters on the PS3 due to how the controller is set up. Never did like playing FPS / Third person shooters on the PS style controller period. :x
I might have to buy it for the PS3 though the way things are looking.
This week is a bust, but never mind, just pick up something from last week, the brilliant Lost Odyssey oo Professor Layton.
YES the club. I've been waiting for it forever. I love the demo of that game. I'll be picking it up for pc and ps3. Maybe dynasty warriors 6. I'll prolly end up waiting for a pc port of it though
Before it wasn't much, but I tried the multiplayer splitscreen part of the Club demo with some of my friends over and it was actually REALLY fun. Except when it glitched up but that's alright since the final game will definitely have a fix for that.
Is CABAL free? And also, The Club could be the next big thing.. The demo was pretty sick.
The Club is good, but the repetition gets old, fast.
Apollo for me. even though i want to support the club but i still dont know. (yes i played the demo)
I have Apollo Justice preordered online, so that's already paid for. I'm also still trying to find a copy of Persona 3 online that won't set me back 80 goddamn dollars.
The wife HATED the attorney simulator. Had to return the used copy. Couldn't believe that she disliked the game that much, but she did.
I just picked up COD4...I'm a bit behind. :-/
I'll probably pick up Uncharted when I get a chance to go to Best Buy. I have a gift card and some b-day cash.
