new videogame release

Ready for the start of a busy gaming season? Hope you have the cash, or even more so, the time. Lots of anticipated games are coming out, starting with this week. Survival horror meets sci-fi in EA’s Dead Space. The first few reviews are coming in, and it’s looking great. See the latest reviews on GameRankings.com. We’ll have more on Dead Space this week. You can bet we’ll be playing it. Saints Row 2 debuts in two flavors: standard and Collector’s Edition. SEGA brings Golden Axe back with Golden Axe: Beast Rider. FIFA Soccer 09 hits as well, which has enjoyed a very successful launch in Europe a little over a week ago (surpassing 1.2 million units sold in its first week). There’s a new rock game series this week with Konami’s Rock Revolution. PLAYSTATION 3 gamers will finally get SOCOM, with the new pack-in PS3 bluetooth headset if you choose. That’ll be the first place to get it! That’s not the only new piece of Sony hardware this week, as the Sony PSP-3000 debuts as well. It starts shipping from Amazon.com today.

NBA games dominate this week’s videogame releases. There’s four different NBA games out this week. Crash Bandicoot, or Crash, appears on multiple systems with Crash: Mind Over Mutant (MOM). LucasArts brings a new IP to gamers with Fracture. All of you should know this is based around terrain deforming. A demo for Fracture is available on both Xbox LIVE and PSN if you haven’t checked it out yet. Guilty Gear, once strictly a fighting game, enters a new genre of tactical gameplay in Guilty Gear 2.

This week is the current-gen debut of Silent Hill with Silent Hill: Homecoming. Sonic arrives on the DS, RPG-style thanks to BioWare. Although I usually don’t include downloadable games on this list, don’t miss out on Mega Man 9 on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Get yourself some Microsoft Points on the cheap. Mega Man 9 is currently available on the PlayStation Store and WiiWare (released last week). A little piece of new hardware will be available for the PLAYSTATION 3: Sony’s PS3 Bluetooth Headset.

Wow, what a busy new game release week it is! There’s something good to select from for every platform. Quite a few anticipated titles. LEGO Batman arrives on all platforms. With two player co-op, a large roster of playable heroes and villains, vehicles and being Batman themed, this will be one of the biggest LEGO games since we were plesantly surprised with the first LEGO Star Wars game. The PlayStation 2 Limited Edition LEGO Batman Bundle also comes out this week. Last generation’s lone survivor is still kickin’! Brothers in Arms is available in a regular or limited edition package for the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360. For the Wii there’s Brothers In Arms: Double Time. Speaking of the Wii, it’s the Wii debut of Samba De Amigo from SEGA. Back from the days of the SEGA Dreamcast, it’ll be the first Wii game to support downloadable content. Nintendo’s own Wario Land: Shake It! is coming out as well. It’s a 2D platformer, with cartoony animation and Wii Remote motion play. Looks fun! For those of you who are fans of the SimCity series, check out SimCity Creator, on both the Wii and DS. The list of DS game releases is huge this week. Don’t miss the new Kirby game in the mix! Videogame releases will be picking up from here until the end of 2008. It’ll be a busy season.

The launch of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed begins on the eve of monday. Watch GamingBits.com for info on various midnight launch events taking place at retail stores. Whichever gaming platform you have, you’re covered. Being on the road most of these days, I’m looking forward to the PSP edition. Well, the exclusive classic Star Wars battles on the PSP edition also won me over. Be sure to check out the unique content available on each platform, besides the Xbox 360 and PS3 releases.

Disney’s off-road ATV game, Pure, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Check out the demo available on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network.

Ubisoft brings Armored Core: For Answer on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. What are the chances of two Red Bull sponsored games hitting the same week, both centered around breakdancing and on handhelds only? B-Boy on PSP and Red Bull BC One on DS.
