Shadow Complex is looking mighty good. A couple of reviews already on the net.. Eurogamer - 9 OXBM: UK - 9

 

[leglez]

Gonna grab Shadow Complex. I canceled my preorder for Wolfenstein, the graphics aren't doing it for me. I will probably still rent it to give it a chance.

 

[Kromis]

lol @ raven squad

 

[Qbah]

What an amazing week Shadow Complex and Wolfenstein here I come!

 

[erwos]

If my 360 wasn't in the shop right now, I'd be all over Shadow Complex.

 

[viivo]

The Shadow Complex hype makes me kind of wary. I'm just glad XBLA games are required to have demos.

 

[raystorm]

Some more Shadow Complex reviews. As said above..try the demo first but the game is sure getting rave reviews.

IGN review - 9.4
Giant Bomb - 5 Stars


Some folks have the game already (press?) and the game is the biggest xbla game in terms of file size. 835.43 megs!

Will definitely be buying Shadow complex. Will rent wolfenstein.

 

[R Nilla]

It needs to be Wednesday already.

What is shadow complex? Is it one of the "summer of games" games or something? This is the first I've heard of it.

 

[RedRooster]

I'm hoping Wolfenstein isn't that good, mainly because I'm really getting into Bad Company right now, and don't want another shooter too soon to make me split time between.
Oh well, this is only the trickle before the winter storm, I'm sure.

 

[Kabob]

3x games I want to buy that are being released within 3 weeks or so...

Forza Motorsport 3
Tekken 6
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

 

[mugs]

I think the PSP actually has a better group of games than the DS this week.

Is Wolfenstein supposed to be good?

That is quite possibly the worst logic I've ever seen. Learn some VG time management.

There's such a thing as TOO many games to choose from. We live in that time, and with money to buy any I want(not like NES games when I was a kid), as a videogame lover it's impossible to play every game I want to play. I'm sure everyone would agree, there's tons of great games that just don't get played or bought, and it's a damn shame.

I'm in this place right now. I've got BF1943, Outrun (which I've only played a few times), Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War 2, and Diablo 2 (which gets most of my time).

On another note I went to the library on my lunch break and decided to check out some vids of shadow complex...wowzah. I really don't need to buy another game (my wife asked me what we bought at Amazon for $20 recently, which was XBL points) but it looks fantastic!

I assume it's SP only? There needs to be an official thread for that game.

[WiiWare] The beloved childhood pastime of lazy Sundays spent with a magnifying glass and an ant farm finally arrives in its most mischievous form via the WiiWare service. You must train your colony of Super Ants using a devilishly fun toolset. Zap, torch and manipulate your ants to make them numerous enough and tough enough to survive a variety of increasingly difficult challenges. [Nintendo]

This game was so awesome (46/100) that it had to be ported to the DS right away.

 

[Rage187]

Shadow Complex got glowing reviews from Kotaku, Joystiq and Gamespot. It is a must have for me.

 

[Golgatha]

PSA - Don't search for "Playstation 2 Zip" and expect to find anything legal with Google.

I agree with you on that aspect. But the options allow for greater control over my own personal choices in games. I tend to just let some games slip through the cracks and get around to them when they're dirt cheap. I love it.

Can't check Metacritic from work, what's the current score sitting at?

I'm not a big fan of side scrollers, but I might have to check out Shadow Complex.

When exactly do they release arcade games?
