Sunday Afternoon ShackReviews

May 8, 2005 10:00 AM

A very special Mother's Day update to the ShackReviews database! Give your mother a big 'ol kiss before you rate any of the games! So, racing week is it? Two big-name titles are released with Enthusia Professional Racing and Forza Motorsport and early opinion suggests that Forza is the clear-cut winner. In fact, according to GameRankings, Microsoft's racing sim is beating Gran Turismo 4 by five whole percentage points. Is it truly the better racer? Give us your opinion! As always, if there's a game you want in the database, see if it's already there and if not, request it!

Enthusia Professional Racing (PS2)
Forza Motorsport (Xbox)
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee (PSP)
Pariah (PC, Xbox)
Puyo Pop Fever (DS)
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (PS2, Xbox, DS, GBA)
Still Life (PC)

Featured ShackReviews:

Rotten Deadite isn't totally smitten by Rengoku: Tower of Purgatory (PSP), saying there isn't much to keep yourself playing.
The first Guild Wars (PC) review calls the game exceptional. Echofox says it's just pure fun.

I wish there was time to play games! Although Steve and Maarten are the ones who are really busting their tails off, I've been keeping myself busy with a few of my own projects; most importantly, scheduling E3 appointments. It can be a chore, especially when you have something for every hour and you're trying to fit in one more company. In any case, I hope to spend some serious time with my portables when I take that long flight to LA. Poor Maarten; he flew in this morning without his PSP as it has been stuck in customs for weeks.

I have not played Forza yet so I can not comment on it (looks really good). But my beef is on the costs ...I have the whole GT4 set up (the way the game should be played) w/ The Logitech Pro Force wheel. That set me back about $170 (game & wheel)...I'm sure as shit not going to drop that much coin on a Forza set up, which sucks... would like 2. Just bitching ...
