This Week In Games

You know, there’s an argument to be made that this week is not for new releases – this week is for getting your arse to Steam and hitting up all those insane deals currently running on the Store.

That being said, there are a couple of big hitters being released this week – but for the most part it’s slim pickings.

The big kahoona burger of the week is Donkey Kong Country Returns, closely followed by Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, closely followed by Karaoke Revolution Glee. Yeah – only kidding. Or am I…

Donkey Kong Country Returns
What is it? Retro studios reboot a classic franchise with typical panache.
Should you care? Yes. You really should.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
What is it? Classic RPG makes its debut on the Nintendo DS
Should you care? Golden Sun has always been a humdinger of a series. So yes.

Pacman Party
What is it? It’s time to ‘party down’, Pacman style.
Should you care? This is one party you don’t want to crash.

Shane Watson’s PowerPlay Cricket
What is it? It’s a cricket game.
Should you care? The search for the great cricket game continues unabated.

The Sly Trilogy
What is it? A Sony update of the PS2 Sly games.
Should you care? Personally, I think this is awesome. Ico and Shadow of the Colossus next please!

House MD
What is it? House struggles to diagnose, and almost kills his patient in a moment of reckless, irresponsible madness. Then, in a moment of inspiration finds the cure. Tune in next week for the exact same thing, all over again. Forever.
Should you care? The best cure is prevention. Don’t buy this game.

Karaoke Revolution Glee
What is it? Exactly what it says on the tin. A karaoke game, with Glee songs.
Should you care I’d rather bleach my own eyeballs, but hey, have a blast guys!
