Call for Papers: PopMatters Celebrates The Jam in Massive Special Section

TWiG 2008-11-17: The Abbreviated Version...

Monday, Nov 17, 2008
New releases for the week of 2008-11-17

(Schiller is taking a break this week as his body attempts to recover from a business trip gone loopy.  He’ll be back next week with his normal weekly wrap-up.


The Last Remnant

The Last Remnant


He does want to mention that he doesn’t see what the big deal is with Final Fantasy when Square Enix keeps putting out full-featured, innovative RPGs like The Last Remnant...


He also thinks Lips is going to be a bigger hit than anyone realizes…


He’ll probably end up buying a whole pile of sequels in the form of Raving Rabbids, Cooking Mama, Sonic, and Tomb Raider...


And he really hopes the new DS Tecmo Bowl game actually comes out this week (as opposed to its originally scheduled release last week)...


He left a trailer for The Last Remnant for you, along with that humongous list of releases (among which the PSP’s list looks…well, sort of pitiful), after the jump.)
