I am hard pressed to think of two titles that are more inappropriate to compare to one another than these two, for fanboy duking it out for superemacy rights? Should we also throw in Punchout for the Wii, because it is also coming out this month? If you are going to be absurd why not go all the way? I know, lets also throw in a Rock Band or Guitar Hero or another music game in the mix? Wait, I got it Puzzle Kingdoms for the DS!

So, we can have a 4 way here:

Velvet Assassin (360)

inFAMOUS (PS3)

Wii Punchout (Wii)

Puzzle Kingdoms (DS)

 

Anyone have a PSP title we can add also? I got it... Patapon 2!

 

So, in this battle, which will come out on top? How about having a PC game dark horse, or better yet, a title for the iPhone that is like NONE of the others?

Throw in Stalin vs Aliens!

 

That's not fair, it'll destroy them all!

Wouldn't it just be easier to agree that comparing VA to inFamous didn't totally make sense?

That's my take on it anyway.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

How about Halo Wars?

Ignored because it isn't due out this month.  You see, being released this month is one of the few things Velvet Assassin and inFAMOUS have in common.  And this must be a strong connection also, because someone insisted they were comparable.

I'm sorry that they are the only two notable exclusives for their respective consoles this month.....

Calling Velvet Assassin a "notable exclusive" on the 360, would be calling Haze a "notable exclusive" on the PS3.  VA is a Southpeak release that has done nearly nothing to show itself worth the attention of anyone, except for those who are dying for stealth titles, no matter how badly executed.  It is HARD to compare this to inFAMOUS, or say it belongs even in the same league, which is a first party Sony exclusive.  This is Sony's answer for Crackdown (an exclusive PS3 sandlot game) that has elements of Fable in it also.

And, in this, you also have Punchout coming out for the Wii.  Should we also bring this into the discussion?

Wii Punchout - Sales Winner
Infamous - Critical Winner
Puzzle Kingdoms - Casual Winner
Patapon 2 - Artistic Winner
Velvet Assassin - Wet T-Shirt Contest Winner*

*cole from Infamous was disqualified when his wet shirt hit a judge and electrocuted them. Also, the Patapon couldn't fill the shirt...*

Puzzle Kingdoms hardly is a "Casual" title.  It looks likt it, but it has RPG elements, wargame elements, and a unique puzzle format.

In a wreck the mood of wimsy note, I am getting a little bit tired of everything that no one knows what to do with, that involves turns, being lumped into "casual".  Peggle is casual.  Puzzle Kingdoms is not.
