Nonetheless the selection is decent depending on what you want to buy. Namco is releasing (they hope) the new Katamari game this week, after pushing it up a week last week and now setting it back to its original release date. Rock Band has a new track pack and Persona comes to the PSP! On the bluray side of things, it's a good week to be a Trekkie as the second season and The Next Generation make their blu debut at some excellent pricepoints. Other releases include a couple of Simon Pegg hits, as well as the latest (and final) season of Terminator.

This week's big release is Halo 3: ODST. It'll be available starting September 22nd. PlayStation 3 gamers get their first Katamari game with Katamari Forever. A demo is available for download from the PlayStation Network. PSP gamers can look forward to Persona. See more here of what new games are coming out next week!

Since you've been asking us so much about it, we decided to send Veronica Belmont to Seattle to get the 411 on this ambitious shooter. After seeing the game in action, we're certain you'll be just as impressed with its scope as we are. But the US isn't the only place to find great games, of course-Veronica and Audrey Cleo visited Japan this month to see what other games are coming our way.
