February 2009 – Page 3

It’s the monthly releases, yay hurray! The past few months haven’t been that great, but I thought now was as good as any time to bring back the monthly releases. As I started doing late last year, I’m just linking games I think the Buttonmashing readers will be interested in. No more Imagine Babyz High Fashion Designer 3!

Tenchu: Shadow Assassins
RYGAR: The Battle of Argus – I love, love, loved the original Rygar. I think adding Wiimote controls to the game could be interesting.

Onechanbara – Again, with the bikinis.
Deadly Creatures – I don’t know why, but I’m intrigued by the idea of playing as a tarantula, attacking humans.

Week of February 23rd
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop – Will Nat pick it up? Will he (us) be soul-crushingly disappointed? I hear Otis coming through on the walkie-talkie: “Don’t do it, man. Do not open that door.” We know how well things turned out last time we didn’t listen to him.
