Belated DVD/Video Game Tuesday

Well nothing that I can live without on DVD.  Let's take a look at the video game side of things for the Xbox 360 this week:

Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  This is a good week for games for the Xbox 360 IMO.  First up:

Loved the first one on the original on the Xbox, hell that game was sliced bread.  Innovative.  Dark.  Cthulhu is mentioned.  Even a aggravating dream sequence or two that was utterly and positively disturbing still to this day.  I hate to say it but I never played the second game at all so I can't really comment on that one.  But I am sure this game is going to be pretty sweet.  It also has bullet time which is never a bad thing, it'll be interesting to see if they revisit anything from the previous 2 stories.  I haven't really looked into previews for this game at all, but I'm sure in Rockstar's capable hands it'll be something really special.

Well, well, well.  The game I love to loathe.  Make no mistake this was the first arcade cabinet video game I played in the all but forgotten brick and mortar Arcades when I was six years old.  The game costs fifty cents and that was back in 1982, big money, big prizes.  I put a lot of money into that game.  I loved the actual cartoon nature of the game and I found the "brave knight adventure to save the princess from the clutches of an evil dragon" was awesome.  About ten or so years ago I purchased the game that used my DVD remote to play.  I beat the game in thirty minutes.  Some of the magic was gone, but I still have a place in my heart for this great game.  Even my avatar is supporting a Dragon's Lair t-shirt.  Dragon's Lair Avatar T-Shirt Yeah, I'm a nerd.

 Well that looks like it for this week.  Are you looking forward to these games?  Is something better coming out?  Sound off below.
