Reviews Wrap-Up: The games that were too late...or too little

Viking: Battle for Asgard (360)
Bottom Line: If you like your games absurdly mindless, bloody, and pretty, Viking might be for you.

Supreme Commander (360)
Bottom Line: Though we've had limited hands-on time with this title, it's been enough for us to say with certainty that only the hardcore RTS faithful need apply.

Rondo of Swords (DS)
Bottom Line: A refreshingly new take on a crowded genre, Rondo is a tough but engrossing RPG for strategy buffs.

Myst (DS)
Bottom Line: Plenty of options exist if you want to visit Myst island, but for adventurers on the go, this pint-sized version is the easiest way. Time to finally beat Myst, eh?

Electronic Nongaming Monthly went to Flow for the PSP

You forgot my favorite part of the issue. The "Take this Job" section is of Michael Patcher/Game Biz Analyst. It says these guys make $200,000 - $800,000 for making lame predictions on sales......I so want that job.

The best part is that you don't even have to get correct predictions, so you can easily spend most of the day playing games...

Okami (Wii)
A, B+, A


GET THIS GAME WII OWNERS, DONT LET IT FLOP, AND YES I WILL BE BUYING THIS GAME LOL

Damn Okami scored pretty nicely.

The thing about Okami is that EGM had the same complaints that Nintendo Power did: imprecise and sometimes frustrating IR. That's kind of shocking when all the early previews I read said the IR was working great.

Still, both mags said it wasn't anything game-breaking. I plan to get it still at some point.

I will be getting Okami and SSBB when they eventually come out in Australia. Damn these games take a long time to get released.

So two A's and a B+ are worse than one A and two A-?

egm mags are so fucking expensive. its 20 bucks not including tax here.

ill just go read it at chapters for free lol.
