Even if you remember last year where they repeated quite a bit of the stream last year, that's still about 15 "secret games" on the low end

And Sony seems to think that people want to watch their presser in a movie theater. Don't care who you are, being crammed into a theater with hundreds of mouth breathers doesn't sound like fun for anyone's presser. Though on the bright side, maybe the BO knocks you out before long.

I did a ton of 80 proof time traveling yesterday (being woken up by the neighbor passed out & topless on the patio with fruity drinks next you is fun) and these Bloody Marys aren't working fast enough so this week's thread is almost non-existent as I kill a hangover.

Though if I want another "You're getting old" reminder, it's me acknowledging that I passed out on our patio instead of a neighbor's shrub/bush/flower bed.

Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION (PC) Do you like schmups? If so then yeah, this is pretty much a mandatory purchase. This is a release of the Japanese arcade rejiggering of the original doujin release of Crimzon Clover. Simple scoring mechanics, it's a basic lock on based score multiplier. Lock on enemies and let'er rip. Has a bunch of different modes: the original Crimzon Clover (meh), Unlimted which is a hard mode, standard time trial and a mode where the better you do, the faster the game speeds up. It's $10 on Steam. It's glorious and very much worth it if you like the genre. It's the big release of the week for me. And grow some testicle fortitude and only play it on Unlimited.

Ultra Street Fighter IV (PS3, 360 and PC) - 5 new characters, re-balancing. Hey, IV has had less reiterations than 2 so it's not bad. You can buy the new version for $40 but the more likely path is spending $15 as an upgrade if you have Super Street Fighter IV.

Wildstar (PC) - A new MMORPG appears. You can chalk that this technically came out yesterday with the head-start if you pre-ordered it but eh. I thought the beta was okay though it didn't do much to differentiate it from the MMOs that have come before. If you dig theme parks, you'll dig this one.
