Christmas in June

Looks like the second half of May and on into June are maddeningly full of potentially high-quality titles, I need a game plan.

UFC: I played and really enjoyed the demo for this one, but i'm not sure if a really involved sports game is the best move for me right now, since I already have a few long term games on my plate.

Verdict: Put it off or Rent

Bionic Commando: I keep hearing good things and the game is reviewing pretty well so far, but I'm big on combat, which I hear takes a bit of a back seat to the swinging action.

Verdict: Rental

Infamous: Man... I love Crackdown and I love the decent Spider-man games, everything i've seen about this game has looked like an addicting marriage of both.

Verdict: Must Buy

Prototype: This one looks a hell of a lot like Infamous, I'll have to see how it reviews.

Verdict: Wait and see

Ghostbusters: I've played it, I liked it, It's fucking Ghostbusters, I'm buying this game, period.

Verdict: Day One

Red Faction Guerrilla: RFG came out of nowhere and really shocked me. I remember playing (and quickly casting aside) the original Red Faction, which I felt was a clever gimmick in the form of destructible environments and not much else. The demo for this one showed something that feels a lot more like Grand Theft Get Your Ass to Mars. It looks like there's a lot of game here and tons of open world mars action, but much like UFC, I think this one is going to ask for a lot more time then I have to give right now.

Verdict: Pass, evaluate later.

So that's the plan, let's see how well I actually stick to it when I'm standing in Gamestop.
