The worst part is that Bioshock will just be sitting at home. People will be chilling by the campfire with a beer, laughing it up, and I'll be weeping.

I'll probably drive off the road and get in an accident because my tears will be so overwhelming.

should be nice..depending on if hurricane dean takes a turn straight to houston..then my week will go to hell.

i won't get bioshock until thursday at the earliest, b/c i ordered the game from liongames w/ priority shipping for $46 so i'll probably avoid gaf until i get it, and to see the meltdown from the gamespot bioshock review.

gaf is in the hands of mr. jeff. he can single handely cause gaf to shutdown when his review goes up.

do it jeff

 

[HylianScribe]

Assassin's Creed came out on Nintendo DS already?

 

[angelfly]

Super Metroid this week (along with Jeanne D'arc) is all the insanity I need this week.

 

[SonOfABeep]

This week belongs to Super Metroid.

Next week Metroid Prime 3 joins in.

Can't fucking wait for the NPDs. The GBA is SO going down.

 

[Solideliquid]

Two Worlds needs an official thread.







:/

 

[Stapler Gonzales]

Not awesome enough for me. I pretty much gave up my search for Bioshock :\

NEXT week will rock with WOWHawk!

people just need to post in it... can't wait for it

What about Metroid Prime 3 reveiws?

 

[Odysseus]

well, i'm sure we're all in withdrawal from the lack of sales-age this past week. no npd, no media-create, just a bunch of teasing. time to get the forum back into gear and discussing what's truly important: numbers. leave the game discussion to gamefaqs, right?

 

[Stapler Gonzales]

Pale in comparison to the GS review of Bioshock, which is pretty much megaton no matter what it scores.

8.5 or 10.0 and I fear for the internet tomorrow.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Last week of the summer for me, nice timing.

 

[marvelharvey]

The Asian version of Bioshock is September according to Play Asia.

Noooooooo.....

Oh well. Too many backlogs anyhow.

Looking at all of 2K's 360 releases, they've all been region free... so I've taken a dive and ordered the US version from PlayAsia in the hope that it'll work! PLEASE WORK!

If it doesn't work, then I'll be reading the NPD thread all week

[Mamesj]

Isn't Puzzle Fighter supposed to be out on XBL this week?


*head explodes*

 

[_Alkaline_]

All that matters is Super Metroid.

And Metroid Prime 3 after that.

I'm stupid enough to take the gamble!

 

[-COOLIO-]

Correct me if I am wrong (which I am often)... but through the 20th to the 24th there will be...

-COD4 Xbox Live Beta
-Bioshock
-Leipzig/GC
-1up starts Halo 3 coverage
-AND THE MOTHER FUCKING NPD!

adds:

The main version that supports EFIGS (english, french, italian, german, spanish) will be a worldwide release, so that version will run on machines worldwide. This version, however, is Unrated for Germany and will not be sold in Germany.

The special version that will be sold in Germany has a different rating and supports German and English languages only.

there's something about nostalgia that makes people say stupid things that are clearly wrong and that they can't take back. this happens with just about every XBL game too-- "OMG Double Dragon!!1 This is the best fucking game ever!!" 1 week later: "hmm, this hasn't aged well." "OMG!! Marathon!! This is the best fucking game ever!!!" 1 week later: "Ugh, I'm feeling sick..." "OMG Time Pilot!!!" and so on.

while your analogy wont apply to the awesome Super Metroid, it certainly isn't the pinnacle of this week (or even close to it)

Exactly. This is 2007. Live in it.

Amazing game a million years ago when I beat it.

This week belongs to the GOTY named BIOCOCK!

News Flash: Yes I was exagerating, that was the point. Still, it deserves all the praise and fanboy drool it gets: Super Metroid remains as one of the best pieces of interactive entertainment ever put on a cartridge/CD/DVD. This game has aged incredibly well. It is an ageless game, made to withstand time and junior members such as you.

 

[krypt0nian]

I love when people who call out Junior members get the perm Junior Member tag.

 

[Gadfly]

meh!

Yeah, OP should have qualified the statement by saying "for 360 owners".

I am sure Sony will have some announcements.

Meh, I could never bring myself to finish it. I'd rather play through the original Metroid or Fusion than touch Super Metroid again. Boring!

yeah, Metroid is definitely still good unlike the games I mentioned, but still the pattern of exploding hyperbole is there i dunno, I like the VC for the games I haven't played over and over already *shrugs*

don't get me wrong, I like the game. bought it on launch day actually...

It is not meh to me but apparently was to another poster. I was being sarcastic.

Yeah... that's not going to happen with Super Metroid. It is pretty much one of the best games ever.


Doesn't the SKATE demo come out this week?

 

[disappeared]

Really I'll only be playing BioShock all week. I'll be monitoring Leipzig, but only for any potential Silent Hill 5 and Resident Evil 5 news.

 

[SapientWolf]

What is coming on XBLA next week? Because I really hope it is Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
