Marvel V. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
Your favorite super heroes return to
take on your favorite fighters in this glorious return of one of the best
fighting franchises ever. Keep that calloused thumb strong from last weeks SF4
and pick this one up.
The
Orange Box
If you don’t already have this game you
should walk up to a mirror, give yourself a dirty look, then smack yourself
with some fresh poultry. Three stellar games, including award winners like half
life 2, team fortress, and the original portal make this a must buy.
Chrono Trigger
Anyone who grew up with jrpgs and a
super nintendo, you already have this game. Everyone else planning a long plane
ride or torturous vacation with the family should enjoy one of the greatest
rpgs ever remade.
Steven’s Picks
Alan Wake
Alan Wake came out in the shadow of Red
Dead Redemption, and suffered for it. The game is a fantastic blend of
storytelling and unique game play that really stands out. Play it with the
lights off, and immerse yourself in the story.
Assassin’s Creed II
Ubisoft got this experience right after
a flawed first adventure. Ezio climbs, slashes, and yes, runs and guns on his
murderous rampage through the city. Now is the perfect time to play as we await
ACIII.
Enslaved
How this game went so unnoticed is
beyond me. Traveling with Monkey and Trip in Enslaved was a true adventure that
finished to soon in my opinion.

You
Don't Know Jack!
Classic PC gamers will recognize this
title immediately, as its been on hiatus for 11 years, finally released for the
current systems! With almost the entire witty-as-hell writing team intact, this
trivia game gives you the most off the wall trivia imaginable and has you
"screwing" your opponents in order to win the most cash! I've been
playing this one for months, and with DLC support with question packs, and over
70 in game "episodes", this game has a solid amount of replay value
for the price.
Blur
This pick is essentially a re-skinned
kart racer, as you'll be driving around life-like cars in life-like streets,
but you'll be using power-ups to decimate your opponents and take the lead.
Speeding around numerous tracks with many different levels of car speeds to
use, I was transformed into the little kid playing Mario Kart 64 in my basement again. Definitely worth the nostalgia
boner, especially for the cheap.
Dead
Rising 2
Do you like to kill zombies? Are you
creative? Can you spend hours just dreaming of different weapons to eviscerate
the undead menace that will eventually rise to take us out? Well you can get
plenty of ideas from trying out Dead
Rising 2. It’s a bit of a challenge with their boss battles, but the game
as a whole has a ton of replayability and places to discover.
Matt’s Picks
Mass Effect 1 &2
Two of my choices this week
center around video games biggest controversy. The Mass Effect series is one that everyone should experience. Take
your version of Commander Shepard through your own personal journey, leading to
a climax that is much in debate. Grab each of them for under twenty bucks a
piece.
L.A. Noire
I have to say this game had one
of the quickest rises to fame followed by complete obscurity. L.A. Noire puts you in the shoes of a hardnosed
cop by the name of Cole Phelps as he makes his way through the gritty desks of
the L.A.P.D. Revolutionary facial animations, great story, and an impressive
detective system makes this a must own for your collection.
