Red Dead maybe the highest rated game of the year. Its between that and Mario, we shall see how Mario does on Friday.

 Is that when an embargo drops for the US?

I stand by my prediction of a 10 from gamespot.

yup.

My prediction is that SMG2 will not score as highly as the original.

For some reason people always expect every Mario game to be revolutionary and Galaxy 2 is not as revolutionary as its predecessor.

I don't think it will win GoTY on most site either, for the simple fact that the original already won and I don't think that most website feel comfortable to award it yet again to Mario.

And lastly most people agree that Galaxy 2 > Galaxy. That's all that mothefucking matters. Metacritic score and GoTY award can suck it.

 Why aren't more people as smart as this man?

Where is my translation Dvader?

Updating now, this is getting a little tiring. Where is Iga and Steel? Take my load.

I mean... some of the load off my shoulders.

Anyhow, new game Knights contract.

UK/Euro release schedule

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption (360/PS3)
Rockstar refuses to spare the horses in the greatest cowboy game ever made (and the best Grand Theft Auto clone too).

Jam With The Band (DS)
Better late than never with Nintendo's still intriguing music-making game.

ModNation Racers (PS3/PSP)
An excellent track editor in search of a decent game, in Sony's disappointing Mario Kart clone.

Split/Second: Velocity (360/PS3)
A race game the whole GC team can get behind and one of the best and most explosive arcade titles of the year.

Nat Geo Quiz! Wild Life (PS3)
Fairly self-explanatory. The 360 and Wii versions are both due out later.

The game of the film of the game is also a partial remake of The Sands Of Time. So much for originality.

It's begging for a tagline.

Gameinformer Wii review of Prince of Persia

Publishers take note: This is the way to make a game from an established property on the Wii. Ubisoft has wisely recognized the need to innovate and try something different on Nintendo’s system. Consequently, despite the identical name, gamers are getting an entirely different game from the 360 and PS3 title coming out on the same day. While it’s by no means perfect, it includes a wealth of ideas that capitalize on the Wii’s capabilities. The result is a flawed but entertaining ride that elicits more creativity and critical thinking than any game in the Prince franchise to date.

Take this entry on Wii and place it beside the 360/PS3 game of the same name, and fans of the Prince have good reason to rejoice. If you own the requisite systems, you’re getting two strong Prince of Persia games on the same day. If there’s one thing Ubisoft has done wrong here, it missed the chance to hype this Wii game independent of the entry on other consoles. Wii gamers have often been forced to make do with a substandard product for their less powerful system. This time, they get a great game built from the ground up to succeed.

Guess I should give Ubisoft Quebec a break. They did good.
