Shipping this week: horn of plenty edition
Before you ask, yes, we are angry that Joystiq stole our idea for this week's new games post. We're trying to manage our anger though, so we've been screaming into a pillow for the last three hours. Thankfully the Fancast has already been recorded, so our pristine voices remain intact. Anywho, we are faced with yet another week of incredible games. Rock Band is finally here, as is Mass Effect. You can even nab Avatar and snag 1000 gamerscore in minutes. If that's not something to be thankful for, we don't know what is. Behold this week's releases below. Rock Band Mass Effect College Hoops 2K8 Avatar: The Burning Earth Final Fantasy XI Online: Wings of the Goddess Final Fantasy XI Online: Vana'diel Collection 08 If you've got the scratch, we suggest that you go forth and rock. Who knows, maybe you can even get your family to join in during Thanksgiving dinner. [Via Joystiq]
College Hoops 2K8 leaves one sneaker in the past
2K Sports has revealed that the forthcoming College Hoops 2K8, shipping later this month for both the Xbox 360 and PS3, will include 90 "classic" teams from college basketball history just waiting for another shot at roundball glory, albeit virtually. Of these squads, 69 are described as "historically famed college teams," such as the 1982 North Carolina Tarheels and the 1990 Loyola Marymount Lions. In addition, players will also be able to lace up as one of six included all-time conference teams or 15 all-time school teams such as All-Time Duke and All-Time Michigan State. Comprehensive? Sure sounds like it, though now we wait for EA to fire the next PR volley with March Madness 08, coming in early December.
