Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of March 9th
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
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?
:)

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.

"Hell will freeze over before I buy Fifa."
Too bad for you.
I used to be a PES fanboi. Fifa owns this PES in so many ways it's ridiculous...
Night Elve @ Mar 9th 2008 7:50PM
I pre ordered a Winning Eleven copy (PS3) just two weeks ago however I was not aware about the frame rate problems. I really hope Konami release a fix / path for this issue.
NACHO @ Mar 9th 2008 7:54PM
NOT TO RAIN ON PS3's PARADE, BUT THEY'RE OFFERING CONDEMED 1 FREE WITH CONDEMED 2 ON 360 SO.....SORRY
cg @ Mar 10th 2008 4:27AM
Nacho, most people are multi console owners you idiot!
I have Condemned for 360 already.
I Will be getting Condemned2 on PS3, (just like ALL multi platform releases), so I can play without FEAR of the inevitable RRoD.
Tmac @ Mar 10th 2008 5:26AM
Isn't condemned 2 coming out tuesday?
Stodge @ Mar 10th 2008 9:19AM
"Nacho, most people are multi console owners you idiot!"
I'm not multi-console. Don't lump me into your generalisation please.
