Sunday Afternoon New Releases and ShackReviews

October 9, 2005 12:30 PM

I feel obligated to point out this official screenshot from NCAA March Madness 06. I guess the guy just has his legs bent back at the knees, but when I look at it I can't help but see a guy with no legs.

Also: Two weeks in a row with PS2 games whose title contains the word "devil." Plus, this week sees two games whose title contains the word "operation." Crazy!

Featured ShackReviews:

Frequent reviewer Masem tries his hand at Namco's Mario Superstar Baseball (GCN), finding it not quite in the same league (ha!) as Mario's other sports outings.
Sevogajre likes Team NINJA's Ninja Gaiden Black (Xbox), but notes that it's just too damned hard.
Brakula has a fine old time with Nintendo's Nintendogs (DS).

I'm finally done with Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA). I've mainly been playing Quantic Dream's Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) (PS2, Xbox, PC), and I'm really enjoying it quite a bit. I'm stuck on this stupid stealth section, though. Advance Wars: Dual Strike (DS) also pops up for a mission or two from time to time.

  EA's overworked programmers didn't have time to implement that feature
