Gamer Investments - Video Game Industry and Stock Market News

Ignition Entertainment and Reverb Communications were kind enough to send over a copy of Metal Slug 7 today (along with a shiny Metal Slug dog tag!).  The Metal Slug franchise is one of my favorite shooters and just holding the latest installment in the series has already got my trigger finger itching.  I’ll put in a few hours with the game and hopefully get some first impressions up within the next couple of days and a full review after that.  In the meantime I’ve got a few POWs to save!

In the midst of the Gamer Investments site problems last week Capcom sent over a review copy of ‘We Love Golf!’ for the Wii.  The nice thing about not being able to post much last week turned out to be that I actually had some time to play a few virtual rounds while uploading / downloading files on the site’s server.  So instead of just giving you guys the heads up that a review is coming I am also able to post a few impressions.

Hudson Entertainment and Clever Communications were kind enough to send over a review copy of Deca Sports today.  Sometime within the next couple of days I will get some impressions posted, and you can expect a full review in a couple of weeks.  Now if you will excuse me I am going pop this puppy into the Wii and fulfill my life long quest to understand the sport of Curling.

My Horse and Me (Wii) galloped in for review today.  Thank you Atari, and their PR department, for sending over the review copy.  Investors, you can expect some impressions soon and a full review in the next few weeks.

Giddy Up!

Wild Earth African Safari showed up on my doorstep today.  I have been very curious about this game since I first read about it, so you can bet that I will find some time this weekend to take a little safari.  I will post up some first impressions over the weekend.  A full review will follow within the next few weeks, so keep a look out Investors.

Thank you Majesco Entertainment, Super X Studios, and Bender Helper Impact for sending over a review copy.  It is very much appreciated.

Now if you will excuse me I need to go dig up my safari hat.

Look at what showed up on the doorstep of Gamer Investments today.  A big thank you to Ignition Entertainment, and Reverb Communications for sending over a review copy of Teenage Zombies (DS).

I had a chance to play the game this evening and so far it is shaping up to be fun little platformer.  I will have a full review once I have put some more time into the title, so be on the look out Investors.

When I got home from slaying the dragon today there was a package waiting for me.  Obscure: The Aftermath (PS2).  Thank you Ignition Entertainment, and Reverb Communications for supplying me with a review copy.  Investors you can expect a full review within the next few weeks.

I knew that Pinball Hall of Fame was coming out and to be honest I really did not give it much thought.  I used to love playing pinball back in the day, but it has been a long time since I have even seen a working pinball game.  Walking through electronics section of the store tonight I saw the game and picked it up.  Upon looking at the back of the box my excitement went through the roof.  Hall of Fame claims to have an accurate recreation of Pinbot!

For those that do not know, Pinbot is THE greatest pinball table of all time.  Anyone who says different is a liar.  One of the first jobs I ever had was in a comic book shop that had a working Pinbot table.  And to totally toot my own horn I held the high score for the whole time I worked there.

Cocoto Magic Circus (Wii), and Best of Tests (DS) showed up at my door today.  Thank you Calico Media, and Conspiracy Entertainment for the review copies.  Expect full reviews of each soon.
