The Week In Games

Hmm. I wonder what the game of the week might be?

I’ll just say this once:

GO GET MARIO GALAXY 2.

Ok?

New releases for the w/c June 28:

ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead (PC)
What Is It? Standalone expansion pack for the super hardcore and really quite extraordinary (when it works!) military sim shooter.
Should You Care? If you bought ArmA II, you need this.

Everybody’s Tennis (PSP)
What Is It? A tennis game of which I know precisely nothing about.
Should You Care? Except it is, apparently, for everbody.

LEGO Harry Potter (360, PS3, Wii, DS)
What Is It? Super accessible action/adventure that’s like all the other LEGO games, except this one’s got a wizard instead of a jedi or a superhero.
Should You Care? Potter fans will not be able to resist.

Nat Geo Quiz: Wildlife (360, PS3, Wii)
What Is It? Exactly what you think it is, a trivia game full of questions about animals and geography.
Should You Care? Hey, you might even learn something!

SingStar Chart Hits (PS3, PS2)
What Is It? Karaoke game with popular but terrible songs.
Should You Care? Oh… you actually like Wolfmother? I’m sorry.

Singularity (360, PS3, PC)
What Is It? Sci-fi first-person shooter from Raven Software. Let’s you manipulate time in various ways.
Should You Care? Never a game of the year contender, but a good, fun shooter nonetheless.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
What Is It? 3D platformer about a plumber who hunts down every star in the galaxy.
Should You Care? Possibly the finest platformer ever made.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (360, PS3, Wii)
What Is It? The eleventh in EA’s popular stick and ball series.
Should You Care? Golf’s about the only sports game I’d rather play with motion control, so get the Wii version.

Coming soon: StarCraft II, Crackdown 2 and, er… Disciples III.
