Uncategorized Player's Club: Video game releases for the week of Oct. 26
Posted by Garrett Martin on Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 7:07 PM
This week's new video games are a good mix of the old and new. Oh, wait, no they're not. It's another round of sequels and licensed games. Not that game sequels are inherently problematic (technology tends to keep getting better, y'see), but it's hard to get excited over the sixth Tekken if you're not a huge fan of fighting games. Even if you like racing games, Forza Motorsports 3 will only be interesting if you really liked the first two.
There is one new and original title launching this week, and that's DJ Hero. Activision might deck it out in Guitar Hero dress, but DJ Hero's gameplay bears little resemblance to its big cousin or Rock Band. Sure, you still hit colored buttons at the right time, but scratching, crossfading, and rewinding have no analogue in either of the two big music games. DJ Hero isn't just fresh and exciting, though; it's also shockingly fun.
Find the full list of new releases after the jump.
