In comparison to previous weeks, there aren't too many new games out this week. Many anticipated games have already been released in the last couple of weeks, to prepare for the holiday season. It's also Thanksgiving week and Black Friday coming up.
A timely release of Scene It? Twilight is out for the Wii, coordinated with The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie debut. Tekken 6 also makes its debut on the PSP platform, following the previously released home console Tekken 6. See what new videogames are out in the week ahead!
Warlock of Firetop Mountain is a PC version of my favourite fantasy book, with dungeons, and combat that still keeps the feel and style of the original book.
HPP: When comes to video games, the term “role-playing game” has become synonymous with anything that involves a fantasy setting, experience, and leveling-up. It’s far removed from the tabletop systems that spawned the term. Sure, there were text adventures and MUDS/MOOS (look it up, kids) but outside of throwing dice around a table, video games haven’t managed to capture that feeling. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain manages to capture that feeling without having to find those pesky friend things people talk about.
BOUGHT!
Now Steve, please, please, please make Autoduel the game somehow someway.
I'm tired of all these combat vehicle games that THINK they are Autoduel but fail miserably.
Thank you.

Your character progresses through the various dungeons and passageways, pausing every so often when a decision needs to be made. Combat takes place through the custom GridBluff fighting system with both you and your opponents making your moves at the same time – although it’s worth noting an alternative dice rolling combat system is available for purists."
Heard good things when that came out for xbox and from my understanding they've managed to improve this title from that. Might just give that a rent to check it out. Other then that title... meh.
