New Releases: January 30th, 2007

Car Pac-Man FTW!
Ok, folks, we have a slew of new games coming out for the Xbox 360 this week — most of which are on the XBLA.

Battlestations: Midway
This World War II title will put you square in the middle of some of the biggest naval battles of the second great war. Controlling both destroyers and aircraft carriers, you will be able to control the tides of battle through both sea AND air. As the… um… you know what? I can’t keep this crap up — the game bored the hell out of me when I played the demo. If you like WWII, you may like this. If you like piloting sluggish aircraft and steering sluggish battleships, you may like this. If you like your games to have a pace that is on par with a slug stuck in sap… you may like this. Me, though? I’ll pass.

Fusion Frenzy 2
Remember when the Xbox first launched in 2001? Fusion Frenzy was one of the launch titles; a darker, grittier take on those party games started by that damn plumber over at Nintendo. Boasting over 40 mini-games across seven different worlds, if you like sitting down with a few friends and cranking a few quick mini-games out, you will love this game. Great for parties… thus the “party game” title, I suppose.

Xbox Live Arcade
With the Xbox Live Arcade releases, we are being given some of the Arcade classics that many of you probably grew up with. My being a SEGA Genesis baby, they were already labeled as “classic” in my book.

Asteriods
Battlezone
Centipede
Millipede
Missile Command - Maybe now Mr. Awesome will stay at home! (Inside reference for the AGI listeners)
Tempest
Warlords
Worms

…if you have marketplace points, this is sure to be a great week for you. Otherwise, it’s… it’s either party games or really sluggish, really slow WWII maritime combat.
