Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of March 9th

by Jem Alexander { Mar 9th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Condemned 2 leads the pack this week with an otherwise mediocre showing across the board. PES 2008 finally makes its way across the pond (to an elated reception, no doubt) and Japan keeps on trying to keep up with the Joneses with Skate. Only five months after the rest of the world. Here's the full release list:

US Games

Condemned 2 [Get a free $10 gift card at Best Buy]
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008

EU Games

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

Asian Games

Don't forget that your PS3 loves games from any region, so feel free to import anything listed above. Release dates are constantly subject to change, so be sure to confirm for yourself before doing anything silly. Like leaving the house.

cant wait for condemned 2

Apparently you have to turn off commentary on PES, or it's stupidly laggy.

lord_monkey @ Mar 9th 2008 11:03AM

commentary . can you explain more about lag and commentary

Kspraydad @ Mar 9th 2008 10:24AM

I'd like to pick up PES but will all the reports and not knowing if the issues are all addressed I'll wait for PES2009 I guess. Hell will freeze over before I buy Fifa.

Goity @ Mar 9th 2008 1:21PM

Well, according to PSM3 Magazine there are a number of things you can do to speed PES up, with turning off commentary working best (They gave it 9/10 for effectiveness). The commentary is supposed to be rubbish anyway, so turning it off means no real loss.
There's also an option hidden in options to install some data to the harddrive, which also speeds it up a fair bit, and there were some other things, but I can't remember them.

Condemned 2 is mediocre? I think PS3 Fanboy made a typo. According to Game Rankings (four reviews) Condemned 2 is averaging 8-9 out of 10 review scores. I also picked up the latest EGM and they give Condemned 2 an A- B+ B, which is pretty good, imo.

R5 @ Mar 9th 2008 8:24AM

Oh, my bad. I realized PS3 Fanboy might be referring mediocre to releases only.

Emophia @ Mar 9th 2008 9:23AM

You missed the word "otherwise".

Brodie-san @ Mar 9th 2008 8:55AM

As someone who is not familiar with EGM's rating system what the *hell* does A- B+ B mean? Graphics, Gameplay, Voodoo quota?

:)

3 different people review each game. so 3 scrores obviously lol

Guys, I've tried Turning point on PC, and this is the S.H.I.T.I.E.S.T game in the world ! The graphism are as bad as 5 years ago ! The AI is stuipid... This is such a shame, I though it will be a great game :(

Damian @ Mar 9th 2008 9:35AM

ash @ Mar 9th 2008 9:58AM

Is that one sentence?

DirtnSky @ Mar 9th 2008 10:40AM

It's the new American schooling & internet for you. Now they are teaching the kids how to get any information as quickly as possible by the magic of Run-On-SENTENCES! All to be used as they return to their comps for marathon link jumping and rantings.

You can just imagine this person hovering over the keys desperately trying to get his hyperventilating ideas out as fast as possible.

a.j. @ Mar 9th 2008 7:51PM

@DirtnSky..Right, so he's got bad grammar and you generalize people like an ignorant dick.

Popfrogs @ Mar 10th 2008 1:13AM

@kspray: These kinds of comments used to piss me off. But, just imagine hearing a kid say that like the chipmunks in all one breath and with no breaks between any words, kinda like Zero Punctuation on helium. Then it's funny.

M!ke @ Mar 9th 2008 10:41AM

Is condemned 2 not out in the EU this friday?

Kabralho @ Mar 9th 2008 10:42AM

Condemned 2 is not going out this week I think, it was delayed to 4th April, atleast it was what Sega officially said yesterday, maybe I am mistaken and the delay is just for Europe.

lord_monkey @ Mar 9th 2008 11:04AM

woot condemned 2

miglaugh @ Mar 9th 2008 11:35AM

Should I be concerned?

The link for Condemned takes you to the Xbox360 version of the title for sale.

Is that some kind of joke, because it's NOT FUNNY!!!

:P

wicko @ Mar 9th 2008 12:15PM

Where is my PC version of condemned 2? :(

Jason B. @ Mar 9th 2008 12:40PM

Best Buy has the Condemned 2 link under PS3, but when you go there, they only have the 360 version listed. And searching for it only leads to the Xbox 360 version as well. So no PS3 version listed on Best Buy's website.

adamevex @ Mar 9th 2008 12:58PM

PES 2008 was the game that i wanted to get a PS3 for, until konamin dropped the ball and released the buggiest game ever. I guess the MGS4 bundle is the thing that'll do it.

P/S: FIFA still doesn't have the depth of PES.

Slow-pC @ Mar 9th 2008 5:19PM

Best Buy has a correction notice stating that the Ps3 version has been pushed back 1 week. Hot Shots week ...

John @ Mar 9th 2008 7:16PM

wait... Japan is just now getting Skate? Man, I loved that game (have to rent it again... and play offline (thanks EA), but there must not be many skaters in Japan? And of course I'll assume that EA, while delaying this release to them for 5 months, probably took all that time just getting voice-overs, not fixing online problems like players appearing and re-appearing, etc.
