New video game releases week 34, 2009
I’ll never understand why publishers wait until the end of summer holiday to release their best and longest games. Here’s a tauntingly big list of this weeks game releases. The most popular titles are Batman: Arkham Asylum on Xbox 360 & PS3, Metroid Prime: Trilogy – Collector’s Edition on Wii, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box DS, Dissidia: Final Fantasy on PSP, Wolfenstein on PC, Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming on DS, Warriors Orochi 2 on PSP, and Cursed Mountain on Wii. On the Downloadable games front we’ve got today’s Wii Shop and DSiWare titles Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Mr. Driller W, Pop Plus Solo, as well as Raven Squad on Steam (updates Tuesday), CivCity Rome on GameTap Gold (updates Thursday).
