The lights are on
Well, what do you know? Finally, a great week for new releases. Over the next few days some big names like Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption will be landing on shelves, alongside some other games like Split/Second, Trauma Team, and the latest Prince of Persia installment. That's good and all, but the biggest media release this week has to be the last regular episode of Lost on Tuesday, followed by the series finale on Sunday. So sad. At least we'll still have Fringe.

getting Alan Wake, tomorrow!
MacGruber hits theaters too. That's exciting!
24 hours from now I will be playing Red Dead Redemption! The wait has been almost unbearable! I must have read Matt Bertz's review a half dozen times over the weekend. Any chance of GI uploading some gameplay videos of Red Dead today?
I am really looking forward to Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I hope it gets a good review, because that means I will probably get it. That brings up a question, why hasn't Gameinformer reviewed PoP TFS yet? They have reviewed Alan Wake and Red Dead, but not this game. I'll be waiting.
WHERE THE FREAK IS THE RED DEAD REVIEW!!!!
because i need it.
I WANT TO INJECT RED DEAD REDEMPTION INTO MY BLOODSTREAM
@ God of Irony
It should get posted at some point today. I was lucky enough to get my June issue in the mail on Friday. Usually I have to wait until the last week of the month.
im getting Red Dead Redemption for PS3 i have a posse of 3 guys so far (including me) we all have mics comment on my page if you want to join the posse.
The Biggest question is which game to play at Midnight tonight? I am leaning towards Alan Wake because it will be dark out.
Ill be getting red dead and renting split second i loved the demo.
Red Dead Redemption tonight at Midnight! Finally!! And Prince of Persia! This is gonna be a good week!
I finally get to see if Red Dead has been worth the long wait, and from what I've heard it is. Ready to start up a Posse and see what Rockstar has in store for us.
In comics, the heroic age is in full bloom! Marvel era begins..
Walking Dead #72 and the other image books are amazing!
cant wait to get red dead but i get the funny feeling ill be the only girl playing it
Kirby Super Star is a must have for me. Must download!!!
I wish I had more money. =(
I'll probably wind up with Red Dead, but it's gonna be awfully hard to pass on the new Prince of Persia (I am sooooo glad they returned to what made the franchise popular in the first place). Also, based on it's review, Alan Wake sounds pretty much awesome.
I should start fund raising.
Red Dead Redemption FTW!
hey people, we have an awesome week in store, hold on to your seats, it's about to go off!
Red dead redemption got a 9.75 which is kind of agitating. Mass effect 2, Mario galaxy 1 and now red dead could all have easily gotten 10. But I digress.
I have red dead redemption paid off as well as alan wake so I'll be sun deprived for atleast a couple of weeks.
Don't forget about the new LCD Soundsystem tomorrow!
