If anyone would have told me that one of the biggest gaming months would be May, I would have probably given them a shake of the index finger alas Terminator 2 accompanied with a chuckle. It turns out that I would be proven wrong. In fact, May might be the biggest month of the year, or better yet: Ever!
By now you might think I am crazy but read on if you’d like to be proven wrong. The month starts a bit slow with Dementium II and the forgettable Iron Man 2 but from there on out your wallet will start screaming for mercy.
The Zelda inspired PS3 exclusive 3D Dot Game Heroes is a nice bargain if you like old school RPGs from the 8 bit era which is followed by the ever evolving Skate 3 and God of War 3 scale rivaling multiplayer driven Lost Planet 2. Oh you want more? I will give you more. May 18th alone has the blockbuster bracket starring Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption, Split/Second and the new Prince of Persia reboot.
Ok, take a breath. We’re not done yet. Maybe get a coffee or take a nap to recover from that blow to your credit card. Maybe get a part time job because we have a couple more games you might care about. If you have any money left or would like to take out a second mortgage on your house you can get yourself another great racer called Blur, make your own tracks in Modnation Racers or get punched in the face by UFC Undisputed 2010.
That is a lot of quality games to be released in a single month but I have one more to let you guys know about. Remember that Mario game everyone liked so much? Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii? Yup – that game is getting a sequel and word on the street says it will be amazing. If you want more Mario then grab Super Mario Galaxy 2 later this month.
Hopefully you’re not too upset at me for pointing out all those games but if you are planning on buying any of those games then head over to Amazon.com who has some serious deals on most of them which includes less than MSRP and several 10 or 20 USD gifcards with your pre-order.
Have a great weekend thinking about which game you want because it will be a tough choice and by now you owe me an apology because – I am gonna let you finish but – May 2010 is the greatest gaming month of all time…OF ALL TIME!
We will try and get some onPoint reviews done for these games but as you can imagine, we won’t have time to play them all.
Andreas signing off.
