New Release Rundown Week of 3/14

Hello readers, I am back this week to do the new release rundown. This week you can take it out on the gods with the epic finale to the God of War trilogy in God of War III. Check out the DualShockers review here. This week also continues the onslaught of RPG releases with Resonance of Fate and the expansion to my favorite RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins. If you want to shoot something this week, then I would recommend Metro 2033.

This weeks WTF title has to go to the Build-A-Bear games, titled: Friendship Valley and Welcome to Hugsville. I’m sure I would never want to go to either of those places. I do wonder if Hugsville is located in the Friendship Valley. They probably are located in the county of Surprise Sex. Another solid week of relelases. Full release list after the break.

New Release Rundown – Week of 3/7

Hello folks! I get to take over Evan’s job for a week since he’s attending all sorts of game-related events out on the West coast. He even got to go to the Final Fantasy XIII launch party in San Fransisco last night. Aren’t you all jealous? Speaking of Final Fantasy XIII, it most definitely heads up our list of new releases this week, making its way to the PS3 and, for the first time in franchise history, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, as well. In fact, I’m taking a break from delving into the worlds of Cocoon and Pulse to write this up for you all.

Other notable releases are Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition for both major consoles, Yakuza 3 and Mega Man 10 for the PS3, as well as Assassin’s Creed II for the PC (if Ubisoft can manage to keep the abomination is calls its DRM servers online for more than a few hours at a time). Some nice DLC for Bioshock 2 also makes its way to all three versions of the game this week for those of you who can’t pull yourself away from Rapture. Check out the full after the break. What are you looking to pick up this week?
