No mention of Street fighter 4 on PC?

EDIT; hey, what did I do wrong?

The only Virtual Console games out this week are Orgre Battle: The March of the Black Queen and Pulseman, both part of the fourth Hanabi Festival. The other four EG have mentioned are all games coming in the next couple of weeks as part of the Festival.

It's chucking it down with rain where I am and there's a lovely cooling breeze so I'm happy! :)

Just got Call of Juarez: BiB in this morning's post so I'm eager to rush home and play it. Should get FUEL tomorrow, oddly omitted from that list but only released for the PC today as far as I know.

I wonder if Nintendo will ever release something for the DSi that isn't epic fail.

Might get Call of Juarez, apart from that and Battlefield 1943, july and most of august looks like a time to buy games you missed out on, well until Batman comes out that is.

No there is no review yet, a few of us got it yesterday and after a whole evenings play I can say it is really rather good. Slight improvement in graphics, loads of content - but the real biggie is that MotionPlus works sooo well in this..

Still no word on BlazBlue... :(

The only game I'm interested in at the moment...

Oh and Steam says July 7th for StreetFighter 4 for me... So maybe for shops too?

Can anyone tell me how is Robocod on PS1 compared to Amiga? I had no idea they released it on PS1.

I got my SF4 PC yesterday, from ShopTo. Damn good it is as well (although people are already terrifyingly good at it).

@ Scrum

That's good to hear. It has been getting great reviews so far. I'm interested to see what Eurogamer give it.

^^

The gap between X360 and PS3 is wider than I had presumed... still rest of Europe is where PS3 is doing better... still as everyone sings the same hymn... not until PS3 price cut then PS3 will not catch up anywhere pretty soon.

The Bit Boy for me is the greatest game this week! Mainly cos its perfectly summed up the various ages of the Gaming and really captures the heydays of the pioneering gaming times!

I would definitely have bought Call of Juarez but for one tiny issue.... no co-op! What is it with developers and their insistence on leaving such a fun feature out of games. Co-op allows a game to be played time and time again, that single player just isn't capable of. I find it hard to believe it's difficult to incorporate this into games. The age old excuse of 'ruins story' or 'loss of atmosphere' are just plain weak. Co-op never hurt the Rainbow Six or GRAW series. Left4Dead has, by all accounts, done pretty well utilising co-op. It's really very easy... leave the single player in place, and if necessary remove cut-scenes or specific single player only sections (that's how Doom 3 handled it). I refuse to waste money on a game that's only single player. So here's one lost customer from Call of Juarez, waiting for Operation Flashpoint, who's developers can be bothered to add co-op.

I think some shops must be really cutting down on Pc games; I've not seen Protoype or Riddick (in particular) atall in either supermarkets or the more dedicated shops like HMV/Game.
