POST-A-WEEK: OCTOBER

POST-A-WEEK: OCTOBER

There are several games coming out this month that I am interested in buying but I will only buy two:

• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
• Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

I actually have been enjoying three games that I bought on the first of this month:

• Ninja Gaiden Σ 2
• Gran Turismo
• SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny

The games that will have to wait, and may get skipped, are:

• Brutal Legend
• Demon's Souls
• Dead Space Extraction
• MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
• Scribblenauts
• Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

I am disappointed at the number of PSP games we got on PSN in PAL territories (the U.S. PS Store received over 100 PSP games in the last store update on Thursday). Regardless, I have been enjoying my PSP quite much lately. Every night I try to put some time into both SoulCalibur (playing Kratos exclusively) and Gran Turismo.

I will admit that I bought Gran Turismo solely to jump-start Gran Turismo 5 when it comes out next year since you can transfer your cars but the game turned out great, especially the physics engine and the sense of speed. There are two things that bugged me about it though. One is that you cannot sell any of your cars. Two is that you don't have access to all car dealers any given moment but rather you can only buy from a select few dealers every virtual game day.
