EGM Info: July 2008 issue

Another month, another EGM is out on the newstands. Quartermann has his usual dose of interesting rumors, and the scores are always interesting to look that. Here’s the juicy bits, but you can look at the source link for the full deal.

Rumors:

-Animal Crossing Wii set for a 2009 release date in North America
-Sony will be launching a video service before E3; which means we could possibly see it sometime in July.
-A new Killer Instinct game is on the way, entitled Killer Instinct 3D: Death, Destruction and Doom

Scores:

Boom Blox – A+, A, A- (Game of the Month)
WiiFit – B+, B-, B
Hail to the Chimp – B+, C+, C+
Dragonball Z: Burst Limit – C+, B+, B
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures – B, B, B
Hellboy: The Science of Evil – C-, D, C
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue – B+, C+, B+
Operation Darkness – C+, D, D-
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard – A, B+, B
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift – B-, B-, B
Secret Agent Clank – C+, B, B-
Space Invaders Extreme – A-, B+, B+
Arkanoid DS – B+, B-, B-

Boom Blox does indeed look interesting, I think people should give it a try. I’m looking forward to Final Fantasy Tactics A2 when that comes out next month as well. A new Killer Instinct game sounds very interesting too; I wonder what took them so long to revive the franchise?
