It doesn't look like we did a GotM for April. I went back 30 pages and didn't find it, so yeah.
Prey.
I haven't played any of the nominees yet but Dotstream on GBA is really cool and deserves a mention.
My vote goes to Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. I'm not that far into it, but I'm really enjoying it thus far. Tekken looks really good, too, but I haven't played it yet. Pretty weak month overall, though my PSP has been getting a lot of play.
Wow. After the three previous winners, I don't feel any of these deserve it. Prey is a 7/10, and I haven't played the others yet. I think I'll abstain until I play Tekkend or VP.
In respect to the the bitGenerations titles, I wasn't sure if we took imports into account for the TNL GotM, considering none of the prior months included any. I don't really think we should, in any case, just because I think it's more universal for everyone by having the focus be on domestic releases.
Prey for sure.
The only two of those that I see myself playing are Prey and VP.
Maybe I'll vote near the end of the month.
I voted for Chromehounds. I know it does not get alot of love around here, it's slow paced strategic gameplay is not for everyone but it's online squad gameplay and customization is unrivaled by any other mech game.
Highly recommended for mech junkies. Also don't judge the game on the shity demo/ training level.
Prey is Game of Summer easily.
Dotstream.
That's more of a 'this month sucked so I'm not voting anything' vote.
Please tell me you bitches aren't going to vote Prey as the GotM.
:td: to 7/10 FPSes.
Prey is better than anything on this list. Just say no to 3D fighters (that undoubtedly control like dog ass on PSP) and PSP ports of JRPGs.
All of these games are ass. Another disappointing month.
It's an 8-9 out of 10 from the vast majority of outlets.Quote:

Shitty month you wish. Start importing stuff.
Anyway, I was going to vote for Silmeria, but since we don't do this here, Lenneth will suffice. :)
Too cheap to import. Plus I thought the GoTM honor goes to domestic release only. NOt that this is any kind of official award or anything.Quote:

Haven't played any of those = no vote from me.
have not played any ones but prey looks the hottest. i dont like fps' but i very likely will try it.
Didn't play any of those, and really I don't want to play any of them.
Of those I only played Prey, and it is decidedly meh.
I'm sure if I had played VP it would get my vote, but as things stand now the only thing on that list which impressed me was Prey, which I only played the demo of.
Go me!
Well, I voted Tekken, but I saw Chux play through a bit of Prey on the PC and it looked pretty badass.
I'll buy it when it's 40 bucks, unless a better 360 FPS comes out before that.
VP sounds pretty good too, but I haven't played it or seen it in action.

That does look pretty badass, but I think the story/setting of Prey is more interesting.
I've played the top 4 and NCAA was easily the best of those.
Prey is good, but I'm getting so much more mileage out of Tekken DR
Summon Night Swordcraft Story!!!!!!!!11111111111111 (i will make a topic on it soon if no one else does. ): It's not amazing, but its solid and not a game from several years ago)
Prey is $40 bucks. Keep an eye on ebay or get the Asian version from play-asia.com.Quote:

I voted Dark Resurrection, which is freaking awesome - and I make a hobby out of hating on Tekken. I'm only about 2 hours into VP Lenneth and while it's fantastic so far, I haven't gotten at the meat of the battle system yet so I'm not ready to pass judgement.
Put me firmly in the Prey is massively overrated camp. It's this generation's Turok.
I went with LotR because I'm addicted to it. Although, it's really not AAA stuff for those used to playing large scale RTSs on pc.
I've got Chromehounds, but have barely played it. Maybe we can get a TNL clan going, which seems to be the only way to really get a lot out of the game. Anyone?
What is that GamerPic you are sporting?Quote:

That's the thing, it's buried balls deep in a Rare Classic pack. I'd kill somebodies mother for a next gen KI, fuck the haters.
