After a desolate few weeks, the new releases have begun to pick up again.
And there’s something for everyone this week. From the white picket fence min-games of Big Family Games to the white picket fence role-playing of Fallout 3, there’s something on every platform, for every age group.
Me? I’m quite keen to check out Neopets Puzzle Adventures. Seriously!
New releases for the w/c May 18:
Big Family Games (Wii)
What Is it? In the tradition of Big Beach Sports, only with less beach cricket.
Should You Care? For those who really need another mini-game collection on their Wii.
Bionic Commando (360, PS3)
What Is it? 3D remake of classic Capcom platformer where you use a grappling hook to get around.
Should You Care? It’s rock-hard and not as good as you might hope it to be.
Demigod (PC)
What Is it? Real-time strategy with hero units from the makers of Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege.
Should You Care? Multiplayer fans will get plenty of mileage here; solo strategists won’t.

Should You Care? Do you care about Wii Fit?
Fallout 3 (360, PS3, PC)

Should You Care? Only if you haven’t already picked it up.
Neopets Puzzle Adventures (Wii, DS, PC)
