DAILY MANIFESTO

GR Release Round-Up 06/12/2011

Posted on Sunday, June 12 @ 18:15:53 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

The week after E3 2011 brings us a game over a decade in the making and more than what meets the eye. Let's take a look at what's coming up in the next week:

Wii Play: Motion (Wii) - June 13th, 2011

Duke Nukem Forever (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - June 14th, 2011

Alice: Madness Returns (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - June 14th, 2011

Child of Eden (Xbox 360) - June 14th, 2011

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360, PS3) - June 14th, 2011

Wipeout in the Zone (Xbox 360) - June 14th, 2011

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Stealth Force Edition) (Wii, 3DS) - June 14th, 2011

Record of Agarest War Zero (Xbox 360, PS3) - June 14th, 2011

Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - June 14th, 2011

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - June 15th, 2011

American McGee's Alice (Xbox 360) - June 17th, 2011

So, I'll just say this: I'm not reviewing Duke Nukem Forever. I also haven't been waiting as long as some people have been for the game. I have played the demo. The demo sucked. It sucked really bad. If that was the section of the game that was meant to sell me on DNF, I think they should have labeled it DNR.

Instead I'm hoping to check out Child of Eden, and Alice: Madness Returns. I also just picked up copies of Mortal Kombat and Fallout: New Vegas. I'll be trying to get competent enough with Sub-Zero to stand a chance against Anthony. Although, once I get started with New Vegas, I probably won't have much time to practice. It's going to be a good week for gaming! Now Gordon Freeman will be carrying the torch Gearbox Software is looking to take away from Duke Nukem.

Some early reviews I've read for the full version of Duke Nukem share pretty much your feelings toward the demo: it sucks. This makes me kind of sad.

Also, the release of Alice on the 360 a few days AFTER the sequel drops is a pretty ass-backwards marketing strategy.

Yeah, last week would have made a lot of sense, and I'm sure American McGee and EA would have preferred it that way, but unless your game is in a promotional block like "Summer of Arcade" Microsoft doesn't give you an inch of warning for when your game will drop on the marketplace.
