Shippin' Out 9/11-9/15: Hockey, Lego Star Wars, Mario Hoops

I didn't love the first lego star wars, but I was compelled to beat it in about a day :P

Nothing really that interesting.

thebuft: yeah cause EA's hockeygames has never been all alike *ironic overkill*

Mario bros. always have a sport videogame, now is turn of the DS to have one. that's great!

good week for gamers bit i also agree with hotdork70minus1 "Sad to say but 2k is pretty pathetic this year around. They just slapped last years game in more gloss."

Sad to say but 2k is pretty pathetic this year around. They just slapped last years game in more gloss. I am loving the new NHL 07 controls in this demo and it's about time some one changed them for the better. The game seems much more fluid and I can't wait to play the full version.

I don't think anyone wants to buy Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales anyway.

did the 360 version of NHL 2K7 get pushed back along with the ps2 version? as of september 12, it still hasn't hit store shelves and one guy at EB games said it had glitches that needed to be fixed so it may be another week or two until it comes out.

finallly, some more good games on the DS, Starfox (i know that came out like a week ago but still this month) hoops, Harvest moon, Mega man, Lego II and cooking mama...yes boys and girls...cooking mama. So which one should i trade in my New Super Mario Bros. for? i'm thinkin either Harvest Moon, Hoops, or Starfox....any thoughts?

Just a heads up that Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales is STARFORCE protected. Do NOT buy.

SavoyPrime yeah, the first LEGO StarWars was awsome, made the story even better than the movies (ep. 1,2,3 are kinda crappy) I can't wait to see Luke, Solo and Leia blast away in blocks=)=)

PiMacleod_basic "bungie milking halo" ??? theres only been 2 halo games (soon 2 b three) and they sold like crazy. your retarded.

i want lego star wars II!

Cooking Mama FTW!!!

Rule of Rose...Wheeee!! :D:D

I did'nt mean that you cannot re-use but to take a character and just milk title after title where you place the character out of place. Like Mariosports games or like Sonic The Riders... but I must admit that Mario Golf/Tennis Advance is great games (but that's mostly for the RPGstyle storymode and that Mario ain't the star of the show) Sadly Mario has'nt starred in a true Mario-game since Super Mario World... the 3D crap just did'nt make it in my eyes. But I have'nt gotten my hands on New SMB yet and I've heard alot of good things from friends about it.

"you want 5 Mario games that are bad? Mario 64 DS Mario Baseball Mario Strikers Paper Mario 2 Mario Party 4-7" Ok Mario 64 DS (8.4) is definetly not bad and neither is Paper Mario Thousand Years Door, (got a 9.2 gamespot), no Mario game has ever earned the "Bad" or "Poor" grading on gamespot and as a fact most have earned great or superb, it's rare where you will see fair for a mario game and those happen pretty much only on Mario Parties. Unlike Sega which milks Sonic but gets "Bad" and "Poor" gradings on gamespot quite a number of time.

i gonna buy mario hoops 3-on3

i'm waiting for harvest moon, mechassault and mario hoops!

If only more shops were selling Cooking Mama. I'd totally have gotten it from Gamexpress.com - hate hate Gamestop lately.

I might actually get Cooking Mama LOL!!!

How is it pathetic to use something that you created? You expect them to come up with some new fantastic character on every game they want to make? You come up with 10 new, original, not even close to anything else that anyone has every come up with before in the history of anything. Then, you go present that original, never before seen, non-likeness of anything ever created before, character of yours to a game company. Let me know how that works out for you. These people can't come up with some badass character everytime they make a game just cause you think they should. Companies have to reuse their best characters to stay in business and make people ,who aren't like you, happy. Because 90% of gamers love all those reused characters, they keep playing the games with those reused characters, and keep the companies who are making them in business, because they want more games with that badass reused character! Nintendo would've gone out of business a long time ago without reusing Zelda, Mario and Metroid....think about it..

Bungie only made Halo and Halo 2. They're not milking anything. It's not their fault if everybody loves their games, but they ain't shoving it down gamers' throats by making one every 6 months or something.

Well, since I have a mind of my own I don't listen to reviewers I play the game my self and make my own opinion... many companies milk their best characters/games and that is pathetic... (you want 5 Mario games that are bad? Mario 64 DS Mario Baseball Mario Strikers Paper Mario 2 Mario Party 4-7)

ya for lego starwars

Wow, Rule of Rose is already out? Dang. Can't wait for the review

yeah, Nintendo is definately milking the Mario thing... just like Square is milking Final Fantasy... and Bungie for Halo... and Blizzard for Warcraft... and Sega for Sonic.... .....wow, maybe this is a trend?! You create a good character/series, and you use him/them! Don't make me bring up the countless amount of Mega Mans....and besides, can you name 5 BAD Mario games (that are actually reviewed as 'bad', and not just your biased opinion)? didn't think so. His sports games are actually very good games. Personally looking forward to the new Strikers on Wii.

Oh my God... Nintendo just won't give up milking Mariogames... first Mario Party (where are we, 6 or 7?) and all those crappy sportsgames that just insults sports... I feel sorry for the gamingworld when one of the greatest companies of the whole industry has lost it so completely...

Mario Hoops Wii Wii

Company of Heroes shipped September 11th, not the 14th. It is already in stores.

Sweet game......

megaman zx and mario hoops look good...

I got Lego Star Wars 2 today - fantastic. Looking forward to Rule of Rose, too.

grrrr... i wish EA would make some DS hockey. and a DS baseball game from ANYONE would be nice... how about some Pennant Chase DS, ninty??

I am going to pick up LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy loved the first one so I think this one should be good too.

but Bomberman doesn't seem to be out yet :(
