GAMES: The X360 Spring Collection May 13, 2008

So here’s my take on the titles just announced by Microsoft to be part of the spring collection for the XBOX 360 console:

1. Ninja Gaiden II - Didn’t really enjoy the first, but alot of people did, definitely a solid rent.
2. Gears of War 2 - Again, didn’t really enjoy the first one all too much, but alot did, so I figure we all owe it at least a rent to see if it jams our bread.
3. Too Human - Not really too excited about this one, and it seems like only the people who cover games for a living are, rent maybe, but I’ll probably pass unless a friend forces it upon me.
4. Fable 2 - I loved the original, and I hope sincerely that much of the formula remains intact. If you like RPGs or killing shopkeeps to take over a town, it’s a buy.
5. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts - Apparently far different from the first 2, so I’d advise a rent or at least hope a demo hits before plopping down the cash.
6. Viva Pinata 2 - God… Pass.
7. Penny-Arcade Adventures On A Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One - Just buy it and you’ll thank me later.
