Over the past few months, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of Fat Princess on the PlayStation Network. After getting my hands on the game a few times and participating in the private Beta, I couldn’t wait to have the full experience. Making a chick fat by shoving cake in her gullet has never been so much fun. The wait is finally over though, as Deb Mars, the game’s producer, let loose that Fat Princess will be available this Thursday for $14.99.
Don’t get upset over the price, Fat Princess is worth every penny. You can play as one of four classes in up to 32 player online blood stained battles in an effort to recover your portly princess from the evil clutches of the opposing team. Trust me, it’s insanely fun.
Save up your clams and get ready to feed some digital hotties. If you’re looking for me after Thursday afternoon, you’ll know where to find me.
One of my most anticipated games of 2009, Scribblenauts, finally has a release date. You read that right, I’m lusting after Scribblenauts nearly as much as some of the big name console titles this Holiday. On September 15th, we’ll all be able to play the game non-stop and you’ll get to see why I’m like a little school girl with this game.
I still think it could be a Game of the Year candidate, which is saying a lot given the known lineup coming this Fall. With that being said, if you own a DS, you better buy this when it’s released. That’s an order.
We knew the release date would be this Fall, but Naughty Dog and Sony have revealed that Nathan Drake will be coming to a PS3 near you on October 13th. That’s not too far away, so start saving your loot now because this will be a must buy.
If you’re the pre-ordering type, which most of us here aren’t, there are a few perks. Best Buy is giving away gold weapons for multiplayer, Amazon has a treasure map so you can find things easier, GameStop has exclusive access to the multiplayer demo as well as the downloadable Revenge booster (don’t worry, you can unlock that in the game), and Game Crazy will have an exclusive Currency Multiplier so you can unlock things quicker in multiplier for a limited time.
Some decent incentives to plop down a few bucks early, if you’re into that sort of thing. For me, I’ll wait until October 13th.
There is only one game this week worth mentioning: Wii Sports Resort. You get a nice little Wii Motion Plus and a solid reason to turn your Wii back on and stop just collecting dust. Otherwise, there’s nothing going on worth noting this week.

I’m a bit confused at this one, since it seemed Capcom was leaning towards the PSN for the lead release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. PS3 users got an exclusive demo to get them excited for the game, but Xbox 360 users will get the full game two weeks earlier (Xbox 360 release July 29th, PS3 release August 13th).
I don’t know how the deal went down, but this is surely going to mean a dramatic sales difference between the two platforms. Personally, I’ll be waiting the two weeks and picking this up on the PS3. Why, you might ask? The Xbox 360 D-pad is horrific for 2D fighting games, that’s why.
We’ve reached out to Capcom for comment on the two week release difference, but no response was received by press time. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be $15 (or 1200 banana bucks) when it drops for each console.
It’s time for football. EA drops NCAA Football 10 on stores this week and I have a feeling plenty of you will be picking it up. I usually skip out on NCAA and just get Madden, but this year may be a bit different. Not too much else this week, but Monkey Island could bring you back to the old days.

Not too many good games shipping this week. Battlefield 1943 is releasing on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, which is a good deal of fun based on the play time I’ve had with the game. The Bigs 2 drops and Street Fighter IV makes it debut on the PC. Otherwise, it’s a slow week.
Xbox 360

- BioShock & The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Bundle

The release date for Battlefield 1943 has been rumored, semi confirmed, denied, then semi confirmed again. Now, it’s official. The game will release next Wednesday, July 8th, on the Xbox 360 and Thursday, July 9th, on PS3. The news was announced on the official Battlefield 1943 Twitter account. Save up your $15 if you plan on picking this one up next week.
From what we’ve played of the game, it’s pretty fun. You get three maps and one game mode at the start, but Coral Sea and a new aerial game mode will be unlocked when the kill count for each console reaches 43 million (that’s for each console, not total). The more everyone plays, the faster a new map and gameplay mode will be released. I kinda like it.
Not a whole lot this week after a monster load of quality games. Call of Juarez is coming out, but that’s about it. Catch on last week’s goods and hold off for better gaming.
