It’s February already and it’s also another week in Q1 which features a major release.
Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360, PS3) - Pick of the Week The demo was more hack and slash than I remember (I played DMC 1 but not 2 or 3) but that won’t keep fans from loving the game. This will be the critical and sales winner of the week.
Karaoke Revolution: American Idol Encore (Xbox 360, PS2, Wii)
This is a licensed money grab for the three (home) consoles with the biggest install bases.
The Spiderwich Chronicles (Xbox 360, PS2, Wii, DS)
See above.
Twisted Metal: Head On (PS2)
I haven’t seen much about this game but I remember when Twisted Metal was a huge franchise. If anything, I would hope it does well just to possibly spur a PS3 installment.
Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles (DS)
Maybe the title hardest to peg on this weeks list. Could be an amazing single player experience on the DS or it could be a train wreck of a port which will not capture either the home console or the DS audience. I hope for the former but expect and fear the latter.
Which of these releases are you picking up this week?
I’m picking up DMC4 on the PS3, Twisted Metal, and Sins of a Solar Empire collectors edition on the PC which not only includes the DVD with the game but a downloadable version of it also.
