Despite the recent negative grumblings over Mario Party, I think I will still pick up a copy this week. I really have had great times with the series, and I think the series could use a little waggle. This week Circuit City is selling it for $39.99. Forza Motorsport 2 is finally here. I will probably get this when it becomes a little cheaper, but if you are a big racing fan, this game supposedly has it all. Aside from the obvious functions of racing cars, FM2 now has a fully functional auction house system where you can buy and sell the cars you drive online through Xbox Live. Apparently a lot of factors are taken into account such as body damage and miles put on the car. Sounds fun, just not my cup of tea. Also, Shadowrun is finally here, it’s an online tactical fantasy FPS. Sounds interesting, I’ll put it in my GameFly queue. Aside from that, everything else looks pretty bleak, but three quality titles in a summer week ain’t too shabby.
