The New Games Thread

Oh yeah, of course I have Mario Galaxy 2! Love it!!
I need to play it more, but I've done about 4-5 groups of galaxies so far.

I let curiosity get the better of me and got a Steam sale copy of Mass Effect 2. Or, more accurately, I had it gifted. My Au credit card isn't accepted because I'm in another country, and I can't use my Korean card. Turns out there was a bit of a price difference - the advertised $30US on my end translated to an additional $15 that I also have to pay back now -_-

I've had minimal interest in this franchise, as the sci-fi setting appears far too orthodox. Early impressions seem to confirm that, although it is at least well optimised for the PC, so that's some consolidation...

Naval Ops Commander (PS2)
Muramasa (wii)
Fragile Dreams (wii)
Way of the Samurai 3 (PS3)
Half-Minute Hero (PSP)
Baroque (wii) - blagged this one, and from first impressions looks like my instinct not to spend money was bang on.
Rune Factory (wii)
Dungeon Explorer (DS)

Hey, some of those are mine

Just bought Death Spank for the PS3. It's installing as I type.
Slightly wary of this one, because I coudln't get into Diablo 2 or Torchlight, and anything attached to Ron Gilbert or Tim Schafer comes with the army of weirdo point and clickers recommending it by association to Monkey Island.

Yeah, not sure about Death Spank. Really hate the voice acting - some guy doing impression of 'The Tick', and the writing is the same style too. The world's slowest voice acting that you can't help but skip, as you read the text much sooner.
