Wow, another practically barren week for Xbox 360 releases. This week actually doubles last week's total, with two games shipping to retailers. The first is Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 (say that three times fast). We're guessing that the game involves dancing. The second release is the game adaptation of the film The Golden Compass, which itself is based on a book. Given its movie tie-in nature, we're not exactly expecting to be bowled over. That said, the game was developed by Shiny, so maybe there's some hope for redemption. For now, we'll just be mashing F5 over at Metacritic.

Just so people know, Metacritic is a property of CNET and, by association, Gamespot.

the golden compass has achievements that are too hard for a movie game.

Just a word of advice: DDRU2 will only be available as a bundle until next month. With pad, available tomorrow, is $70. Without, available the second week of January, is $50. I want the game bad, but personally I'm waiting. I'm tired of this forced bundle shit.

Yeah, Shiny made them.
Unfortunately, I don't think their handful of good games make up for their handful of crappy games by default... They're so hit and miss it's hard to how bad it might be.

Actually, didn't know Metacritic was a CNET property. Don't click the link if you're boycotting I guess.

I'm just glad that the recent slew of releases is over... Beat COD4, Assasin's Creed, went 'meh' over Kane and Lynch, and am playing Mass Effect through a 3rd time. I saw the sun for the first time in months this morning! :P

You mean it's finally safe to walk through the game section at my favorite store? No more maruchan lunches and selling plasma at the blood bank?

Did anybody notice the ad posters in some of the venues in GH3? I was playing in Mitch's last night, and there was a poster on the wall. For Golden Compass... not that it persuaded me to buy the game...
