In honor of a television debut 51 years ago today: Help control the lawyer population, have your game show hosts spayed and neutered.
Things we missed last week: Digital Eclipse’s The Making Of: Karateka on Tuesday, 30XX on Friday, and Archives title Cadash on Thursday.
Last week ended up in the 50s for release (aside from Japan), so this week is of course on the lighter side. Sadly, we’re probably getting Festivus NEXT week (because TGS is the week of the 21st). The theme this week is getting down on the farm, as we have no less than three farm sims on a mid-20s release count: Fae Farm (the game from like, six Nintendo Directs and Opening Night Live), Rune Factory 3 Special (review forthcoming), and Sprout Valley. The other retail release of the week is Anonymous;Code from Spike Chunsoft.
Smaller titles include Indie World veteran Chants of Sennaar, and a building horror theme with No Son of Mine and the boomer shooter Night at the Gates of Hell (from Puppet Combo). A Europe-only (for now) release is Old School, a Bully-like from the creator of Wrestling Empire.
