Hmm. I’d written up a run-down of all this week’s new releases. It was superb, perhaps the finest Week In Games post ever. And then I deleted it.
It was an accident!
Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any way I can recover said deleted post. And I don’t have time to rewrite the whole damn thing again. So I’ll keep this brief.
In short: this week’s release are pretty terrible. There’s a whole bunch of licensed nonsense, family-friendly music games, and mediocre movie tie-ins, none of which (except possibly if you dig the tracklists for Band Hero or LEGO Rock Band, pictured) would be of much interest to Kotaku readers.
Comfortably the best game this week is Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles for Wii. Pro Evo 2010 on Wii is decent, and so’s Tales of Symphonia, also on Wii and delayed from last week. Other than that though, it’s slim pickings.
(And if I manage to recover the lost post, I’ll replace this one.)

We’re all too busy playing Modern Warefare 2 to care.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 6:26 PMDavid, you’ve mentioned that Guilty Gear 2: Overture for 360 had been coming in a few prior The Week in Games posts, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere at all since. Do you happen to know whether it actually got released, or am I out of luck?

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 12:19 AMI’ll put that question to the distributor tomorrow. It kept slipping on the release schedule and I’ve not seen a copy myself.
