I don’t believe I’ll be picking up any of the retail disc fighting games (FNR4, KOFXII, BlazBlue) for $59.99 MSRP. Perhaps when they slide down the pricing ladder later this Fall.
I can see myself spending time with Shadow Complex though. Looks awesome. I’ll try the TMNT game, but will probably end up picking up the PSN version when it hits later this year.
Replaying inFamous and still working through its review. I’ll probably post it tomorrow.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was fantastic. Twists and turns are the lifeline with game and damn does it do a good job of keeping my attention with them.
