New PAL Releases Roundup - 05/06/09
Red Faction! Sacred 2! Star Ocean!
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel launches on console this week. It's not the best of the batch, but I am in it. Yes I did a voiceover for the action-RPG whilst wearing a jester outfit. The only problem I'm having is finding myself. In-game, silly. Can anyone help? Answers on a postcard. Thanks!
Red Faction: Guerrilla turned out to be the "very definition of a solid 7/10". In other words, read our review before going to the shops - while The Sims 3 nudged closer to Sims Mecca.
Codemasters' racer FUEL fell short of the usual publisher pedigree, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat may be the first New Play Control title to warrant a Wii remake. Our thoughts soon.
The Walk With Me game for DS comes with a pedometer add-on, and US flat-tummy trainer Jillian Michaels launches her Wii balance board game Fitness Ultimatum this week. She used to be fat but now she's thin, and she wants you to be happy too, because only thin people are happy and fulfilled. F*** off Jillian.
