Crash Time
Week of August 12th
Madden NFL 09 – I played the original Madden on the PC 20 years ago. I haven’t purchased a copy of Madden since then (although I’ve played most iterations). Is this the year I skip NCAA and pick up Madden?
Madden NFL 09 20th Anniversary Collectors Edition
Week of August 19th
Too Human – I checked out the Too Human demo. I didn’t hate it. I could see the click (point), kill, loot cycle be tempting. Diablo 2 it ain’t, but it doesn’t have to be. Supply me with enough loot and I’ll keep playing.
Smash Court Tennis 3 – I’ve already got Top Spin 3 (which I’m liking and will be writing about soon) so I won’t be picking up another tennis game this year.
Week of August 26th
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 – I love golf and I love Tiger Woods. I usually pick this one up every other year, but with other games this month, this will be a rental for me.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames – Mercenaries 2 is one of the reasons I won’t be getting much else this month. I have been patiently waiting for this one for a long time. I hope the wait was worth it.
Tales of Vesperia – Another JRPG for the 360. I should check one of these out one of these days.

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility – I tried Harvest Moon once and I definitely do not want.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play – The Wii was built for this game. I hope they nailed it.
Mario Super Sluggers – Mario themed sports games are usually “can’t miss”. If they expanded on Wii Sports Baseball, this will be another winner.

Quick Yoga Training – I originally read this title as “Quick Yoda Training.” That sounded much more interesting.

Madden NFL 09
Bangai O Spirits – A game I’ve definitely been looking forward to.
Air Traffic Chaos – At my local second-hand video game store, there are a couple Super NES games called “AeroBiz.” I never had heard of them before, and always wondered what kind of fun an airport simulator would be. I guess a new generation of gamers is about to find out!
Mazes Of Fate – If purchases were based on cover art, this one has me sold already.
N+ – Great XBLA title, I’m definitely interested to see how this translates to the dual screens.
Week of August 19th
The Cheetah Girls: Passport to Stardom – Someone read my mind, I’ve always wanted to be a Cheetah Girl! How did they know?
Week of August 26th
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness
Margot’s Word Brain – Who is Margot? And why does she have a striking resemblance to the Super Nanny? And why do I know what the Super Nanny looks like?

Polar Sports, Vol. 1 – Titling something “Vol. 1” is pretty ambitious, isn’t it? Especially with “Polar Sports.” Not a whole lot of options to draw on there. You can only do so many variations of curling.
Doggie Daycare
Babysitter: My Dream Job – Landslide winner of this month’s “Creepy Box Art” award.
