June Gaming Sees Host of Releases

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the rush-and-flush dept.

June gaming is certainly off with a loud roaring noise that should leave your wallet empty and your thumbs tired. Seeing titles like Ninja Gaiden II, Grid, Bourne Conspiracy, Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda, The Incredible Hulk, and a whole host of games for handhelds and download is bound to make game reviewers weep with exhaustion.

  1. June Sees Crappy Movie Tie-Ins... by morari · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most of the movies sucked, so why should a cheap promotional videogame even be worth mentioning?

  2. Why are... by AKAImBatman · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...only movie-based games mentioned in the summary? Those are the games most likely to suck! The actual Gamespot page has titles like "Toki Tori" in its summary, which is a game that I was far more excited about than any movie rip-off. (It's a great game, BTW! Has a very Amiga-ish feel to it, too.)

    That being said, the Kung-Fu Panda game does look interesting. The real questions are if the Wii controls really work as well as the previews suggest, and if the developers really put the time and effort into making the game interesting rather than a quick cash-in.

    (Anyone remember back when Capcom used to NAIL Disney properties? Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers & Duck Tales are some of the best games ever made for the NES.)

    What a shitty list of games in the summary. I can't really see anything in that list emptying out my wallet or making my thumbs sore.

  4. This is idiotic... by 7Prime · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Third biggest release OF THE YEAR, in June: "Metal Gear Solid 4"

    And you spout a bunch of movie spinnoffs? And Ninja Gaiden II, which has been totally pwned by critics and in which the creator immediately resigned from the company in disgrace.

    You just showed your lack of knowledge on the subject, prepare for a barage of hate mail.

    Neither the heading or the summary help indicate that the linked article is only for the Xbox 360.

    The linked article is actually only about June 2-6! The title of the slashdot post is slightly misleading.
