Well, the drought of bargain basement PC titles certainly comes to an end this week, but we're still stuck in the slow summer period. The only titles of note this week are Ninety-Nine Nights for the Xbox 360 and Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerebus for the Playstation 2.
I tried the demo of Ninety-Nine Nights via the Xbox Live Marketplace, and I wasn't overly impressed by it - the game just seemed to be a mindless button masher - it was pretty, but there wasn't much there once you got past it's looks. As for Dirge, I don't know much about the title beyond that it's a shooter, but I plan on giving it a rental just for old times sake.
All is not lost though, things will definitely be looking up next week as Madden NFL '07 makes it's debut on just about every console known to the human race.
