It&#8217;s not much of a wallet threat, because it&#8217;s only $15*.  But it is much of a wallet threat because Section 8 is so awesome.  There&#8217;s plenty of new stuff in here to satisfy us Section 8 junkies, and plenty of core awesomeness to satisfy anyone who plays shooters.  Graphics whores need not apply, but they&#8217;re probably still marveling at shiny things in Crysis 2 anyway.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re probably psyched for Portal 2, and you should be.  It loses a little of the first game&#8217;s heart by going bigger, longer, and deeper.  But Portal minus a little heart is still a fine game.  Stay tuned here for a special guest and something not unlike a game diary.<\/p>\n<p>Mortal Kombat: No Subtitle or Number Needed is also out this week.  You&#8217;ve been playing the demo, right?  Me either.  SOCOM 4 goes live.  The single player is nothing to write home about (&#8220;Dear Mother, other than the annoying stealth missions, it&#8217;s business as usual on the front &#8212; heavy scripting, bad story, unremarkable guns &#8212; but at least my teammates are competent.&#8221;).  I do look forward to seeing how the multiplayer shakes out; developer Zipper Interactive&#8217;s last game, MAG, was a work of genius.<\/p>\n<p>Get your heiny** to Mars in Pinball FX 2 this week.  The Mars table is old news for folks who play Zen Pinball on the Playstation 3, but it&#8217;s a good table, with great sci-fi flavor and a forgiving layout.  Next week, we get a whole new table with Sorcerer&#8217;s Lair.  Paranormal &#8212; one of my favorite Zen Pinball tables &#8212; is due out &#8220;in the near future&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Conduit 2 comes out if you&#8217;re that rare breed of shooter fan who only has a Wii.  Why do you only have a Wii?  Well, at least you&#8217;re finally getting a game with a proper multiplayer horde mode.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">* do your own spacebuck math<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">** Pinball FX 2 is rated E for everyone<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
