PS3 Releases: week of September 15, 2008

Hilariously late! I haven’t had my PS3 on in two weeks, so it’s new to me.

2.43: unless you’re Japan, you don’t need this, so they’re not pushing it on you.

on the shelves

09/16: Armed Core For Answer [metacritic] – giant robot fighting. This game came out 1 week ago now, and only one IGN wrote about it, saying it’s a minor version interference.

09/16: Pure [metacrtiic] – stop me if yo’uve heard this before: a fun racing game for the PS3. This is off road ATV, easy to pick up but not deep.

09/16: Star Wars: the Force Unleashed [metacrtiic] – I can’t recall seeing a game so over the place review wise, there are some like 1UP who pan it for repeatitve combat, other like gameinformer say the gameplay is electric and fun. I have no idea what to make of it, but I’m not that into Star Wars to begin with it.

09/16: Madden ’09 En Espanol – in lieu of a review, read about cover boy Roberto Garza.
