In Stores This Week Around The World

Richard Walker

Following last week's ghost town release schedule (we think we even spotted some tumbleweed roll by), this week is much more lively, with huge monster slaying in Lost Planet 2, super gnarly kickflippery in Skate 3 and for Europe only (for this week) slow-burn scares in psychological thriller Alan Wake. (Click the links for the reviews).

There really is something for almost everyone (as boring a statement as that is), and next week is also shaping up to be a good week for games too, with Alan Wake seeing release in North America and Australia.

Also next week... Red Dead Redemption. See. Told you it'll be a good week.

  • #7 Wow where did you learn to type? cant wait for alan wake :3
  • Would have all 3 of the games listed for europe if I had the money and red dead redemption looks like it will be amazing
  • Skate 3 FTW but I'll also have to take a look at Alan Wake. But first: Skate :)
  • @7 - Please, never give me the misfortune of reading another of your posts... I was really thinking of buying Lost Planet 2, but after reading the review and finding out that it's a pile of turd, I can safely forget all about that. Instead, I'll be buying Alan Wake (Thanks to you again x360a, was going to rent this, but your review sold me), renting Skate 3, so as to have the funds for next week Red Dead Redemption.
  • Still wondering about Lost Planet 2...
  • I've got Alan Wake on pre-order, so I'm very excited about that. Hope it's good (there's been some mixed reviews to say the least). Was looking forward to LP2, until I played the demo, and remembered why the original wasn't that good. Red Dead next week. Expecting the best sandbox game ever with that one to be honest.
  • if I can complete Dead To Rights, I'll trade it for Skate3
  • I will prob go back to the first lost planet and then think about the second one
  • I've been excited for Lost Planet 2 since it was anounced :D
  • Lost planet 2 is pants. You would be wise to steer clear!
  • Skate 3 definitely
  • Alan Wake and Skate 3, both on Friday
  • skate 3 boiiiiii. then red dead next week!! :)
  • Definitely gonna save my money for Red Dead Redemption :D.
  • @7 lol
  • I'm surprised nobodys exited about the GOTY edition of Batman. I guess its just more of the same, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go in THREEEEE DEEEEEE I loved the game so much the first time around.
  • Alan Wake woo hoo. Its good to be iEnglish! Also RDR and Split Second next week. Double yum!
  • Finally Red Dead Redemtion next week.
  • SKATE 3 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
  • Nothing too exciting again and thank god have enough games as it is...
  • Too bad lost planet 2 didn't turn out as great as I was expecting review wise.
  • SKATE 3 and Alan!
  • Finally UK get a decent game before America :P (alan wake) I'm also liking Skate 3, Will pick it up when it gets cheaper as I know it drops in price pretty quick.
  • I still don't know whether to get Alan Wake or wait for Red Dead Redemption. I can only afford 1 at the moment. I need to see some reviews on RDR.
  • Skate 3!!!!! Got to wait a whole 9 days though until my birthday :( Split Second next week too :)
  • Alan Wake is all that interests me this week, I'll be getting that and Red Dead: Redemption next week.
  • I cant wait for today to be over so I can get SKATE 3 tomorrow. I cant wait to get a team going and throw down with others.
  • Darn I am really looking forward to Alan Wake. i can't wait to play it. I am debating though if I should get Red Dead Redemption or not. It really hasn't peaked my interest much but I do want to try it out.
  • Pass. Batman GOTY I may get if it's cheap enough, (30-40$ range) I blame skate for the demise of the tony hawk francise. That is all. 'looks at tony hawk ride board and shudders'
  • red dead redemption for me, alan wake is a rental.
  • waiting for skate 3, and then red dead, and then blur.
  • Batman GOTY? Why is this the first I'm hearing of this?
  • Wow, Metro 2033 has only just come out in Japan?
  • Wow # 12, way to form your own opinion... I'm definitely getting lost planet 2.
  • Dammit Europe! I want my Alan Wake.
  • Anyone who chooses Alan Wake over RDR would just baffle me. To each their own game though. But seriously, AW might be "prettier", but which do you think you'd have more fun? I watched gameplay videos on AW, and when they go to make him turn....he's stiff as a board i.e. Resident Evil. Just by watching all the "gameplay" videos (not the cinematics) is enough to hook me. I don't need a review to go by. Midnight on the 17th can't get here quick enough.
  • gameplay videos on RDR of course.....
  • @43 - Don't get me wrong, I always form my own opinion, it was just the first Lost Planet was one of the worst games I had ever played, and this one did look like it could turn that around, but according to reviews, it hasn't. So I know not to bother, if it's as bad or worse than the first. Alan Wake, I've been watching for about 3 years now, always knew it would be good, but decided against buying it not too long ago. However, the review praised the game so much, that it's pretty much a must-have for my collection, influencing my decision to buy. This means that I should only buy one more, given what money I have left, so I've decided to rent Skate 3, though I know it'll be great and I will buy at some point, and go along with buying RDR.
  • I thought Prince of Persia was out this week as well?
