Friday is here. Fabulous news obviously, but it does mean yet more wallet-opening temptation in probably the most expensive six weeks of gaming releases I can remember. This week's biggie is Bioshock 2. I haven't played it yet but I've heard mainly positive impressions from those that have. There is a vague consensus that it lacks the originality of the first game though. Any comments from those of you who have already played?
Other new releases today include Karaoke Revolution from Konami and Sega's Phantasy Star Zero on DS. I'm looking forward to the latter – and not just because I'm planning to review it. Phantasy Star is one of those rare gaming "brands" that has massive nostalgia value to me, although unlike Zelda, Mario and co this is based on a release in the 21st Century – Phantasy Star Online. If Zero gets close to a handheld version of that Dreamcast classic then all will be good. US reviews are mixed though...
Anyway, planning to get a new game this weekend? If so which one?
