This Week in Gaming: Monster Bowl Edition

4/19
(PSP/360/PC)Blood Bowl-Made by Southpeak Interactive who created one of the best Xbox titles Deathrow that went highly unknown. Now Bloodbowl is a futuristic Football title with orcs,dwarves,elves,etc that are pitted against each other for an even more brutal version of the sport. You can also play it RTS-style and play it turn based. Deathrow was a futuristic sport where it was 4v4 and there was a floating disc that needed to be frisbeed into basketball net type ring on each side. Between the passing and the shooting there was no penalties. So players could stomp each other until they were unconscious and knock them out for the round. It was brutal and played like a sports season. A new release with Xbox Live support would be awesome but hopefully they took some notes from that for Blood Bowl.

4/20
(Wii)Monster Hunter Tri-Create a team of 4 players and start hunting monsters on the Wii. Big following for the Japanese fanbase but I know if you and 3 friends can team up to take down huge monsters there really shouldn’t be any disaggrement about it being fun. Also if you preorder it today (seeing as it released tomorrow) you get a 500 point Nintendo Wii Points card to use for your account.

4/21
(360)Sherlock Holmes vs Jack The Ripper-Sometimes I dont understand how games get made. Apparently you play CSI and hunt for clues to try and take down Jack the Ripper. I am sure the experience is at least a C-to maybe a C+ but I don’t see a huge rush to pick up a game that can easily be point and click on the computer. Although it is $30 so if you want to pick up a cheap game go for it I guess.
