The GAMES OF SUMMER 2006 (US) Thread

I like the Mario raving picture... and yes indeed the original FFIII rocks... I think ami is perhaps the only detractor (aside from people who just don't like RPGs in general). Quality game with lots of secrets to discover, a bit of nonlinearity, lots of different airships and vehicles to ride in, unique scenario development, and some extremely tough areas to trek through and battles to fight. Oh and perhaps the most grueling final dungeon in RPG history.

Pac-Man World Rally is also coming to the Xbox. And in a fit of brilliance, they aren't putting it online. Got knows nobody wants a thinly-veiled 'Mario Kart' with Ridge-Raceresque elements that they can play online, and that the Xbox wouldn't be a very good platform for online Karting. :lol

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Damn. Nothing I want really. The ones I did want turned out to be notsogood.
The lack of 360 titles is surprising.. I figured there'd be a bunch of titles that missed the launch window that would come out during the summer...

For the most part, those were the March games. Summer lulls are a given for any system.DaCocoBrova said:

-Dead Rising (still don't think it's gonna make it)

Summer is exacty when the PS2 originally started to take off. Beginning with the release of Twisted Metal Black, we received a steady diet of great games (ranging from GT3 to Klonoa 2). One could argue that it started with Red Faction even, which doesn't hold up today, but was decent back then and could be compared to any of the 360 FPS titles thus far (in terms of quality at time of release). It was an exception, however, and the 9 month head start prior to the US launch gave developers more time than 360 teams have not had.raYne said:

This summer's games confirms one thing: its time to tackle that backlog and save cash for the fall/winter gaming sextravaganza.
FlyinJ said:This is one I'm looking forward to:
PC: Darkstar One - Out in Germany - July English/US release
Wing Commander/Elite type game with RPG elements. Coming out of Germany, hopefully it will be more exciting than X3:
Really excited about that one too, especially since Ascaron is making it. Great developer imho.

This looks very nice. Had not heard of it before. If the combat part is good it is a must buy. Loved how pretty X3 was but the boring combat killed that game...

That preview seems pretty positive.
Sigh... If only my german was not so bad, I could check out their impressions...
Anyone heard anything of the combat part of the game?

Where's the gameboy advance games?
I'll be getting Super Robot Taisen: Orginal Generations when it comes out assuming it makes it for the summer.

What since when? There isn't a solid release date for it yet, Sega still has listed for a general September/Summer 06 release. Summer ends September 22nd and it can still come out before then!Amir0x said:Tr4nce: Yakuza isn't a summer title

What the ****?
Amir0x said:Rule of Rose
Release Date: August 29, 2006
In this game, little underage girls run around doing erotic things and also creeping people the **** out. I can't vouch for the games quality - dark10x says it's a game worth checkin' out - but all I know is that it's creepy. Multiple endings and all. (Article)

Yep.
Perfect for summer too!
Amir0x said:Super Monkey Ball Adventure
Release Date: August 1, 2006
Also coming to GCN and PSP, but again I'll cover it quickly here because nobody really cares about this crappy offshoot. You solve puzzles and avoid obstacles in your precious ball that has a monkey in it. In Monkey Ball Kingdoms. yeah. (Article)

What's it feel like to work on a game that nobody cares about?
