Metal Gear Solid 4 and Nascar 09 released this week
Friday, 06 Jun 2008 17:06
Metal Gear Solid 4 is the big name game this week, with the usual blend of ludicrously long cutscenes and stealth-based action
A mixed bag this week, with the major titles being Nascar 09 (PS3, 360, PS2), Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3, 360) and, of course, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
The latter title is hotly anticipated, being as it calls the Solid Snake saga to an end. Saga is the right word too, as rumours of 90 minute long cutscenes lend the game a more epic quality than others in the series.
It'll be the usual blend of stealth and action, with not much I can say here that fans won't already have divined.
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is another of the anime/manga games based on the cult Japanese TV show. Very much a love it or hate it thing, you'll already know whether you will want to buy this or not.
Nascar 09 is another entry into the popular-mostly-in-America driving-round-in-circles simulator. A mystery to most, a pleasure to many - Nascar will be the same mix of high EA production values and and chunky car-driving sensibilities.
