Has anyone else noticed that from theat list, most of the publishers are the ones no-one really cares about? Have 95% of the decent publisher now deserted xbox for the 360?
Koei are poo, the activision one 'Hustle' is on their "value" label, which means pants, and majesco are usually rubbish too, although the Jaws game dues look a bit fun.
There's not much there to get excited about is there  |
Yes it is the character from 2000AD, hopefully they do a better job of this 2000AD character than developers did in the past with Judge Dredd - also when the fuck is someone going to take a look at the classic story/character Chopper: Song of the Surfer and do a decent game of that, it has infinetly more quality material and potential for a good game than the half arsed cliched characters and storys that adorn the majority of games nowadays.
Anyway my long past childhood and comics aside totally see your point about the games that I listed, I put it down to just a dry couple of months after a spell which saw Black, Ghost Recon AW, Fight Night 3, Mark Ecko etc. Half a dozen games also had there release dates pushed into late 2nd and 3rd quarters stuff like Bully and Starcraft Ghost as I previously mentioned - if they were coming out I don't think the coming months would look half as bad.
edit.... Hummer Badlands seems to have been released btw, multi disc fodder if ever I saw it. Couldn't find any screens which suggests to me that the game is pap and the filesize is tiny but the game description sounds amusing at least (in a childish kind of way), "and thats just before lunch". 
You're in the Badlands now. It's more than just 4 tons of raw HUMMER power rumbling across the earth. It's the ultimate mud-sliding, log climbing, rock crossing Hummer battle ... And that's just before lunch!
Features:
* 20 torque twisting HUMMERS.
* Split-screen multiplayer for head-to-head action.
Additionally, players can participate in a host of extreme challenges to establish HUMMER dominance. HUMMER Badlands allows players to make authentic customizations for the most realistic HUMMER experience available.
King of the Fighters Neowave is also out btw looks like another multidisc title not especially impressive if you've played Garou or any of the previous KOF titles.

Well I gave Army Men a try and found it would of been a fair kids game if the contols/targeting/jumping was'nt so finicky and annoying. Younger gamers would definately get frustrated very quickly with this game.
Maybe it deserves a place at the end of a multi-disc to justify downloading it, but I couldn't imagine it would ever get played.

Ok just working my way through the games now:-
Rogue Trooper - essentially the game is a very well done, graphically v. nice looking third person shooter which is obviously based on the classic 2000AD character this is noticable pretty early into starting the campaign where you see the gentically enginereed troopers being dropped from motherships in pods onto a hostile planet which you have to storm along with your fellow commandos. The game follows what I believe to be the story in the comic in that when you touch down after linking up with your comrades 3 of them are killed but Rogue Trooper takes there genetic chips and uses them in his gun to gain special abilities such as an auto aim feature and the ability to collect scrap which can be used to manufacture and create new weapons. The game has what looks to be a cracking campaign along with an excellent multiplayer mode which best of all can be played in co-op (splitscreen and I'd also imagine sys link).
Overall heartily recommended, not AMAZING but certainly well worth trying at the very least, co-op is always fun.
Dreamfall - Only played the first 20-30 mins but yep Im a huge adventure fan and agree with Nailbiter its consoletastic, this game can get some loving over the weekend inbetween Guitar Hero. (Loved Wonkers in the game btw)
Hummer Badlands - for the love of god I implore people to not play this game, the menu insists on spouting out what you have just selected in this cheesy american voice which irritated me straight away i.e. when you start the game and it shows the devs logos then cuts to the main menu the game actually shouts MAAAAAIIIN MEEEENU plus more importantly the actual game just seems budget/poor to me. That 4x4 game that came out recently was a heck of alot better. So yes skip this one or grab merely to be put on a multidisc never to be played again.
King of the Fighters: Neowave - not bad if your into 2d beat em ups, personally I prefer Camcom Vs Marvel, the Street Fighter and X-Men game to the KOF series and Guilty Gear as an updated take on 2D beat em ups but each to there own. Certainly loads of fighters to choose from though but seeing the name Sammy in the title screen only makes me yearn for them to release a home console version of Dolphin Blue. 
Army Men - I'd agree with Jonels opinions, for an Army Men game or taken purely as a kids game its a fair title. That said its the sort of game that I would stick on a multi disc and never play again plus I expect the reviews to rate it as fair-mediocre so instantly skippable and oh yeah you have to wonder what "Team 17"s involvement in this game was?, how the mighty have fallen.
Classified Sentinel Crisis - bwhahahaha, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
NBA Ballers Phenom - I think this was released weeks back but noone put up a thread, anyway game is nowhere near as polished as The NBA Street Series but in its favour its brimming with different game modes and an excellent career mode which wipes the floor with EA's frankly boring "Own the Streets", there are also masses of unlockables, silly cheat codes and multimedia content making it a more than worthy alternative to the Street series.
