Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! If you haven’t played Wii Sports … you need to get out more. A huge seller, with nearly 50 million copies sold, it was only a matter of time before a follow-up came along … and here it is: Wii Sports Resort along with the Wii Motion Plus. Early reviews have been very positive, and this seems sure to sell millions and suck away hours with what seems like a simple collection of trivial mini-games.

Other than that … not too much. The PC release of Bionic Commando is sort of a non-starter as he console version has been out for a bit and is a disappointment. Also, early reviews of The King of Fighters XII suggest its’ moniker is quite a bit misplaced. Anyway, check out the list!

Some notes from last week:

  • G-Force (Every gaming platform)

    • - The movie was terrible, so the game seems good by comparison, but in reality is yet another movie tie-in piece of ’shovelware’.

  • Rock Band Country Track Pack (X360, PS3, PS2, Wii)

    • - Yet another solid but unspectacular money-printing add-on takes on another genre.

What games am I playing now?:

  • PC: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines – I continue working through this huge game, trying to gather every detail. I’ve started characters from different vampire clans, which produces amazing variety in the gameplay experience.
  • PC: (Anno 1404) Dawn of Discovery – different but similar to the DS version, this is the best RTS since Empire: Total War and best simulation city-builder since … well, Anno 1701.
  • DS: (Anno 1404) Dawn of Discovery – this game keeps pulling my time!

So what are you playing? Chime in below!

Enjoy gaming!
