The Weekly Release (11/6 - 11/13)

[bapenguin]

Inching ever closer to the XBox 360 release, we have our first XBox 360 title released this week. Kameo: Elements of Power hits store shelves, and while you won't be able to play it for 2 weeks, you can stare at the shiny box in awe. GUN hits multiple platforms before its XBox 360 release, and should be a solid western themed title. Guitar Hero for the PS2 hits stores as well, and looks to be a fun addition to the Karoke/DDR style of games. The PSP gets a SOCOM game this week, and the Gamecube gets Mario Party 7 just in time for the Holidays with friends.

Oh, and lets not forget the 50 Cent movie debut.

[bean19]

"The Movies" is going to be the biggest title to be released this week by far, and no mention of it in the prologue. For shame!

[endrom]

hopefuly path of neo isnt a floop... It really does look like fun.

[Taco]

I'm amazed The Movies wasn't delayed. I've yet to pick up Quake4, to many games. I love it.

[G-Man]

Hold on here, how did Ducktales slide under the radar??? Great cartoon AND great Nes game from the Disney/Capcom era.

Imagine if that partnership had lasted, we might have gotten Spider-man vs. Mega Man vs. Darkwing Duck.

I think that combination just unlocked my inner child...

[Taco]

Personally I'm going for the $2,500 Star Trek boxset.

[fitbabits]

No love for Kameo? Well let me start the ball rolling - Kameo for me this week.

I wonder if the shrink wrap will smell differently for Xbox 360 games? :rolleyes:

[Vandenh]

>Oh, and lets not forget the 50 Cent movie debut.

ROFL.. sarcasm?

Anyway.. nothing for me this week... need to grind in WoW ;)

I will get Kameo probably when I get my 360... the game is getting some serious positive vibes.

[Cupelix]

Why is a 360 game hitting shelves before the console does? That seems idiotic. I don't seem to remember that happening with any other console release. Maybe I just didn't pay close enough attention back then.

[bapenguin]

"The Movies" is going to be the biggest title to be released this week by far, and no mention of it in the prologue. For shame!

Ah shit...I somehow missed it when I was reading over the list. I'm very curious about it....

[doubtingthomas]

Why is a 360 game hitting shelves before the console does? That seems idiotic. I don't seem to remember that happening with any other console release. Maybe I just didn't pay close enough attention back then.

I remember having my copies of Madden, Tekken, and UT for the PS2 prior to the system coming out, and even a peripheral, perhaps the memory card or 4 player adaptor. What's so idiotic about it? If you got it, put it out on the shelf.

[Spigot]

What the heck? Since when was a THIRD Fatal Frame coming out? Man... I loved the first two and now there's a third one... grr... must... resist... urge... to... buy...

Guitar Heroes looks awesome, but I will need to find a copy of it with dual guitar controllers in order to have tonnes of fun with my buddies.

[AspectVoid]

After reading massive ammounts of praise by both gamers and press about Guitar Heroes, I ordered myself a copy of it. I went with the cheap shipping, so I won't have it for a week. Still, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm also quite interested in The Movies and really want to see how it turns out.

[Adam Blue]

The PSP did it, the GB Advanced...possibly others aswell. I like it really, you have time between the game purchase and the console purchase for more money to appear.

[fitbabits]

So that people will have at least something to play on launch day? I love the idea of releasing games before consoles - it seems less of an outlay than shelling out for everything in one day.

[Cupelix]

The PSP did it, the GB Advanced...possibly others aswell. I like it really, you have time between the game purchase and the console purchase for more money to appear. As if the money wouldn't be there if you simply saved the right amount of money to buy what you want on launch day? You won't magically have more money because you bought things earlier.

It just seems odd to me that they're selling you something you can't use yet.

...it seems less of an outlay than shelling out for everything in one day. That's probably the real reason for it right there - it makes you feel like you're spending less because you're not spending it all at one time. I can't decide if its devious or marketing genious (perhaps those are really one and the same).

[Stevercakes]

Woo Guitar Hero! and Magna Carta! and Duck Tails! Oh my...

[Schnoogs]

Wow...X3 has made this list three weeks in a row.

[JediSanf]

Can't wait for Gun. Any game where the lead programmer makes a point of using the word "whooooores" in his PC Gamer interview has to be good.

[agentgray]

"Life is like a hurricane..here in...Duckburg!"

"Racecars, lasers, aero-planes...It's a duck-blur!"

Jumped the shark when they got Gizmo Duck. However, my fave is "What terror flaps in the night?"

I'm ashamed.

[Kelegacy]

IGN has a review of it, I think. It's supposed to be a pretty good game, too. I've never playe the first 2, though. I need to.

[EternalGamer]

As mentioned before, both the PS2 and the GBA released games before the system came out. I think it's really a matter of practicality for the stores. MS doesn't bother putting street dates on the games since you can't really use them until the system comes out anyway. But if the games are put on sale early, people will buy them. The stores that don't put it up for sale, will miss out on the opportunity.

It does create the illusion that one is spending "less money" and also encourages impulse purchases in anticipation for the system release. So it's a win/win for everbody... except for the guy who thinks he is saving money by buying the games early that is. ;)

[Kefkataran]

Duck Tales Vol. 1! Awesome!

[zorper]

Operation Flashpoint is coming out this week for Xbox. (At least that is what the ads say) I've been waiting two years for this, hope I'm not disappointed.

[EternalGamer]

Ducktales is only great in the proper context. You have to be watching it on a weekday afternoon with toy commercials built in. Otherwise it is just not the same.

Dan

[Grimgrock]

Are those zombies I see in the screen shots for Gun? What is unique about this game that it is getting so much exposure? The presence of prostitutes in a Western-themed environment isn't exactly original.

I still want to know if you can combine genres in The Movies. For example, is a sci-fi/horror movie possible? I'd like to give a demo a try before I break down and buy it.

[Spigot]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Darkwing Duck completely separate from Ducktales? I know that he did some crossover episodes but I didn't think that he was actually IN the Ducktales show.

I loved Darkwing Duck... "SUCK GAS, EVILDOER!"

[G-Man]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Darkwing Duck completely separate from Ducktales? I know that he did some crossover episodes but I didn't think that he was actually IN the Ducktales show.

I loved Darkwing Duck... "SUCK GAS, EVILDOER!"

I was simply alluding to a "Marvel vs. Capcom vs. Disney" type of game. That's all...

And yes, while Darkwing never appeared on Ducktales, he did have Launchpad for a sidekick and Gizmoduck was part of his homage to the "Justice League."

[Taco]

Am I the only one to remember the name Lunchpale instead of Launchpad? I barely remember watching that show, but I do think I watched it quite a bit.

[TSaur]

Am I the only one to remember the name Lunchpale instead of Launchpad? I barely remember watching that show, but I do think I watched it quite a bit.

I believe the full name was "Launchpad McQuack". He worked as a test pilot for Scrooge McDuck, and was provided airplane equipment by the one and only Gyro Gearloose.

Although I think I liked "Talespin" better back in the day. (doot doot doot da-doot doot da-doot...Talespin!)

[Taco]

Yeah, I remember the character very clearly, I just thought his name was lunchpale for some reason. I was so young when I watched that show so who knows what I was thinking at the time.

Might solve a mystery...or rewrite histor-y, DuckTales! Wahoo!

DuckTales Volume 1, I am there, zee iz mine.


Pftt, typo on mystery, what a fool!

[Kefkataran]

I'm glad to see a lot of other people excited about Duck Tales. Fuck yes. That's all I have to say.

[fitbabits]

What is Duck Tales? Was it before my time in the USA?

[Vaginasaurus]

What the hell is Ford vs. Chevy? Is that a peeing Calvin sticker game where you control his yellowy liquid on to unsuspecting motorists?

[Zurik]

Man, I gave up on the US release for X3. First its out the 4th , then its backordered, and now the 7th....maybe. Mine as well get the import version from Gogamer.

[Taco]

What is Duck Tales? Was it before my time in the USA?

It must of been something 15 years ago I think. At least. I watched it, though I don't get a sense of nostalgia thinking about it. This is about the first thing in my life that makes me feel old though.

[Grimgrock]

I enjoyed Duck Tales, but I never missed an episode of Animaniacs. The humor wasn't aimed at the lowest common denominator and a large portion of it was aimed at the parents of children watching.

That said, what's the deal with the game? Was it big when it was on whichever system it came from? I really don't remember it.

[H.Bogard]

Please tell me thats sarcasm....either that ....or you've been under a rock in the early 90's (i think thats when all these were coming out.... qxs )

OMGBOBBLEGOBBLE! I fucking LOVE Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain... I pray they will release a DVD collection soon.

[fitbabits]

Em, I only moved to the States in 1999. I lived under the rock commonly known as Scotland prior to that!

[TSaur]

OMGBOBBLEGOBBLE! I fucking LOVE Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain... I pray they will release a DVD collection soon.


It's time for animaniacs. Dot is cute and Yakko Yaks. Wakko packs away the snacks, while Bill Clinton plays the sax. It's animaniacs!

[Taco]

Only things I remember from Animaniacs are Pinky and the Brain and the bit where they sung the ingredients off the back of food cartons. I think I would of appreciated the show more if I was a bit older.

[flyinj]

Gun is going to be incredible.

The original designer of Tony Hawk, doing an open-ended GTA-like Western?

Sign me up.

[Grimgrock]

They're Pinky and the Brain, yes Pinky and the Brain, one is a genious, the other's insane. They're labratory mice, their genes have been spliced, they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Briain...

The saddest part of this is that I didn't have to look up the lyrics. I remembered them from memory.

[dr_wily]

disney afternoon.. good times.

they need to release all those volumes on dvd

hell they dont even play ANY of them even on the disney channel!

those were the halcyon days of great cartoons after school.. sigh

lets see we had

gummy bears
duck tales
rescue rangers
tale spin
darkwing duck
aladdin
gargoyles

oh snap i totally missed a ton!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disney_Afternoon

they need a super box set of all of them like that amazon link for all the star trek box sets.

[dr_wily]

ah, on the WB camp we had tiny toons and animaniacs too.. thanks for reminding me.

[Rakael]

Gargoyles...ohh damn that show rocked when I was younger. I also loved Duck Tales, and really liked certain parts of Animaniacs (Pinky and the Brain, Slappy), though on the whole it just got on my nerves.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Duck Tales! I completely forgot about that show!

Thanks for the memories guys. :)

Luckily, Duck Tales is one show that hasn't been resurrected and made "cool" and "extreme" (ie raped) for today's ADD kids.

[Kelegacy]

What is Duck Tales? Was it before my time in the USA?
Basically it's the adventures of Scrooge McDuck, Donald, and Don's nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louey (Louis? Lewey?). As we all know, ducks are crazy (they are exhibitionists--they don't wear pants) so many crazy capers are to be had.

[Kelegacy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Darkwing Duck completely separate from Ducktales? I know that he did some crossover episodes but I didn't think that he was actually IN the Ducktales show.

I loved Darkwing Duck... "SUCK GAS, EVILDOER!"

"...whack, smack, what was that? Darkwing Duck is on the attack. This is where you'll find him at, fighting crime like a maniac. Go Darkwing, go Darkwing...goooooo Darkwing Duuuuuuuck!"

I'll never forget that theme song. I must have been in junior high or something, watching it after school. Are there even any cartoons on after school these days? Anything worth watching? Or have good cartoons died away with Generation X growing up? I know Saturday mornings aren't as fun anymore, with rancid shit burning across the airwaves.

[Kelegacy]

"Life is like a hurricane..here in...Duckburg!"

Life is like a hurricane
Here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes
It's a duck-blur

Tales of daring do bad and good
LuckTales (oooh ooooh)

Final curtain
Cool deduction never fails
That's for certain
The worst of messes
Become successes

D-D-D-Danger! Watch behind you

What to do? Just grab on to some DuckTales

Want some more? I just Googled this site (http://www.fpx.de/fp/Disney/Lyrics/DisneyAfternoon.html#DuckTales%20Theme) (Jesus, the memories! I can recite almost all of them! Ch-ch-Chip and Dale! Rescue Rangers!)

[Kelegacy]

I'm cooking supper and I've been singing it to the cat the entire time, who's looking up at me like I've gone loco.

[Spigot]

Man, here I thought I was the only person around who thought that those late 80's -early 90's Disney cartoons were awesome. Good to see there are so many people around who share my eclectic tastes.

Sadly, cartoons seem to have gone the way of the dinosaur these days. The ones that are made are either complete crap or are just badly dubbed DBZ-style anime. It's funny that most of the cartoons being made and that do well these days are aimed at the 18-34 market as opposed to kids.


Heck, Saturday mornings are pretty much devoid of cartoons these days. I think Fox has their crappy-anime block and some of the Teletoon/Cartoon network channels have cartoons (duh) but aside from that, weekend TV is a bunch of crappy live-action shows that make Saved By The Bell look like high art.

Sigh.

Does anyone remember Freakazoid? I never got to see many episodes of it but the few I did see were fantastic. It made Animaniacs look downright subdued by comparison.

Oh, and was it just me or did anyone else have a crush on that mouse from Rescue Rangers. She was hot... for a mouse... when you're a 13 year old boy...

I've said too much...

[Spigot]

Man... Thanks for reminding me of the Gummibears song...

"Dashing and daring, courageous and caring,
something something something of gummiberry juice."

ARG!

I loved Toady in that. Easily one of the best cartoon sidekicks.

[bapenguin]

The Ducktales game for Genesis was rockin. I think I need to see if I can ebay it.

haha! freakazoid.. never got into it though..

a few notables going on today are:
teen titans
justice league
the batman
the fairly odd parents (quite alot of adult jokes)
duck dodgers (great if you can find it, hilarious!)
harvey birdman (definitely not kids stuff, but quite potentially the funniest shit i have ever seen)

all the clone wars guy's stuff (genndy tartovsky?):
powerpuff
dexter
samurai jack

recent ones Ive replayed but not watched:
viewtiful joe
loonatics

unfortunately I have to BT most of these, since they all air rarely.

i watch too many cartoons for a man my age (ripe 'ol 27), but hell i find them more engaging for adults than most live action shows.

[EternalGamer]

I will be curious to hear what all the Ducktales fanatics think when they actually buy the DVDs and revisit those cartoons. The Disney stuff did tend to be higher quality than most syndicated cartoon series, though. Sadly, they came along near the end of my cartoon days. The "prime" of my youth was Transformers and He-man, and those cartoons definately do NOT hold up. WHen I catch them on TV and rewatch them now I find myself saying "I used to like this? What was I thinking?" The answer is that i was 10, I wasn't thinking much of anything. 10 year olds will watch anything on TV. Anyone remember Saved by the Bell? Exactly.

Dan

[Magnanimous Gnome]

I have a twelve year old sister, so I have some insight into what the kids watch these days. She watches mostly live action shows, especially on the Disney channel. Stuff like That's So Raven, Hilary Duff's show, etc etc. Pretty much all crap, but I'm sure the stuff that I loved back in the day was too.

She does watch a few cartoons - I've seen her watching Hey Arnold, Fairly Oddparents, and Spongebob, all on Nick. I don't really know if Disney has many animated shows these days. The whole company seems to have moved away from hand animation.

DuckTales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, anyone? 'Nuff said.

[dr_wily]

great movie.. even higher production values than the cartoon (from what i remember, the first to have shadowing on the characters like their beak and such)

I think the only animated disney show ive seen that is recent is the one with the hawaiian girl and that weird purple monster (dont feel like looking up the name)
the animation is quite good, probably better than all those straight to video sequels of aladdin, beatuy and the beast, and such. (even better than some that hit the movie circuit, like jungle book 2)

-dr_wily: resident cartoon conneseuir that doesnt know how to spell conneseuir
