It’s a really bad week for games unless you like licensed movie titles… which are usually crap. Normally the more platforms a movie game is released for, the worse it is. It does not bode well that James Cameron’s Avatar is being released over five platforms this week. I wont pass judgment… yet… but I think it’s pretty safe to say that if I have to play a game set on a planet named Pandora, my time would be better spent on Borderlands.
Then again there’s always Rogue Warrior, the one-time action novel-turned true life game about Navy SEALS. It stars the most bad-ass seal of the bunch, Dick Marcinko. Wait–.who? Ok, I guess Hollywood isn’t the only industry to have officially run out of ideas.
The full count for releases this week is 39, but for games you’d actually want to buy, check out our Holiday Guide HERE.
