EGM November 2008 Reviews and Rumors

Please be true so I won't have to hunt down gamecube versions!

Wow, I didn't even notice that. RS1 with new graphics would be amazing. Maybe they could tweak 2 and 3 to actually be difficult too.

RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!! EVERYONE MAN FOR HIMSELF!!!!
Get out of here with the Treyarch hate. There are employees who work hard and are on this forum.

And next months reviews will be an epic showdown.
 
Where's the Kratos in my Soul Calibur?

That other teaser could be Trico.

Or the mag is moving from SF to NY.
or the next issue is the last issue
or I just saved 15% on my car insurance

also, condoms

stop playing with my heart!
 
A Metroidvania not getting EGM's Game of the Month honors is positively shocking. I mean, even the craptastic Harmony of Dissonance accomplished that.

The fact that said honor is instead bestowed upon a Sonic game in 2008 is mindblowing.
 
Great review for Star Ocean: First Departure~

Can't wait to try it out in anticipation for SO2 (PSP) and SO4 (360)

The next month section doesn't mention the cover story. It just says "It's a secret to everybody (except us) and has a picture of a sundial in a field of flowers. It also says it's a Manhattan sized announcement.


GTAIV DLC? Central Park has a famous sundial.

If ever EGM's ten-cent crystal ball were right, let it be now.

Clearly it isn't since a DMC style Strider wouldn't make any damn sense at all. Now a Shinobi style Strider would be what i want.

so? you can work your ass off on something and still have it turn to shit repeatedly. i've done it many a time on previous products.

This! Strider was always about moving fast and kicking ass as fast as possible. Unless it's like a DMC like game with a focus on just the Trickster Style and he's awesome as fuck.


Give him a long flowing scarf like hotsuma!

Link to your hands on with COD5? Until then quit bashing them.
 
Away: Shuffle Dungeon - B-
Good: Clever core gimmick with solid action on top
Bad: Not much going on beyond the gimmick

Wait...what about the solid action? Is it not beyond the gimmick because it's on top?!
 
oh wow -- i'd forgotten that a new castlevania was coming out. i still haven't played through por, but given the low print runs on these games, i guess i'd better buy this

:piss iga :piss2
 
Trico is insignificant next to the potential Strider. Holy fucking shit. Just the idea of a new one makes me all goose-flesh and boners.
 
All of this Shinobi talk makes me sad. That game didn't get enough love.

And I agree, Strider would fit better in that mold than the DMC one, but to be honest I would gladly take either if it meant a new game for Mr. Hiryu. A BC:R style remake would also be more than acceptable.

wait, if its TRICO then it won't be a big revel since TGS is next week and the internet exists


If the official reveal is at TGS, they obviously wouldn't let EGM blow it with the preview for next month.

I wants to see that picture.
 
You guys think every teaser or "new secret game announcement" is TRICO. I've long since tempered my hype for its announcement but I'd love to be surprised.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles - B
Good: Solid controls, addictive leveling system, amazing re-creation of LA
Bad: inconsistent difficulty, some visual glitches and framerate

Hmm, need more reviews.

Btw, 1 man review crew blows.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - B+, B-, B
Good: Endlessly satisfying destruction
Bad: Gimped co-op, lacks polish

Can someone explain what they mean by "gimped co-op"? Are they talking about it being region locked?

You're stuck within .5km from your partner I think.

- Lucas Arts handing Rogue Squadron rights to new publisher. All games released on one Wii disk with enhanced visuals and Wii controls.


If Factor 5 improves on the visuals on RG3, it will be hands down the best looking Wii game. :lol
 
Star Ocean: The First Departure - B+
Good: Addictive item creation, relationship bulding
Bad: Archaic storyline and presentation

What the shit EGM. Archaic storyline? Please.
