New Releases for 02-12-07

Now I kind of miss the days a couple months ago when I could write these in five minutes.

  • Wii Play (Wii) - Everyone kept asking why America didn't get this. Now it's here, and no one seems to like it. The Amazon page is here, but there's no price on it save for the "10 used and new available from $70."
  • Ghost Rider (PS2, PSP, GBA) - Like the Spider-Man games, this is set up to coincide with the release of the movie, but isn't directly based on it. Kind of in-between the movie and the comic, including an original story penned by comic writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Pediani. $29.99 for the PS2 and PSP, $19.99 for the GBA.
  • Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP) - It's the usual Ratchet & Clank, but more totable. $39.99 at Amazon.
  • Chulip (PS2) - "That weird Japanese game where you have to go around kissing people" is finally here after years of delays, and just in time for Valentine's. $29.99 from EB Games because Amazon's being stupid. And EB gives you a free keychain.
  • Test Drive Unlimted (PC) - PC gamers finally get a shot at the racing MMO that 360 players have had for six months. $39.98 at Amazon.
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (PSP) - It's up to you and your crack Rainbow Six team to save portable Vegas from tiny terrorists. $39.99 at Amazon.
  • Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner (PSP) - Capture an Alaskan folk singer and unleash her in battle to determine who will saaaave your soul. This RPG was developed and produced by Cozy Okada, who is the creator of the Shin Megami Tensei series and, presumably, very warm and comfortable. $39.99 at Amazon.
  • The Warriors (PSP) - If you've somehow held out this long since the October 2005 release of the PS2 version, The Warriors is now available on the PSP. $19.99 at Amazon.
  • Chili Con Carnage (PSP) - An over-the-top third person shooter that acts as a follow-up to A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico. $29.99 at EB Games.
  • Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar (PC) - An expansion pack for Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords that adds new opponents, new units and a new campaign. Neither Amazon nor EB seem to be selling the thing, but I have to assume it's out there somewhere.

Despite all that, there are still a few titles I left out, like Great Invasions on the PSP and Gurumin on the PSP. You'll find the full release list here.

It's not a matter of Amazon being stupid on Chulip, it's a matter of the game being EB-exclusive. Yay for the monopolistic future of video game retail.

That's right, I forgot about that. Well, Amazon is still stupid for other reasons.
