There's a nice variety of games to select from in the week ahead. Halo Wars will be the biggest release this week and will open the RTS (real time strategy) genre to more players. With the Halo crossover, probably more gamers will experience a home console RTS game than ever before on the Xbox 360. Baseball fans have MLB '09 on the PS3 and PSP as well as Major League Baseball 2K9 for just about every platform. Tom Clancy's HAWX brings some nice air combat gameplay. Make sure to try the downloadable demo if you haven't yet. The demo is available from Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network. Phantasy Star Portable (PSP) debuts on the PlayStation Portable. There's a demo for that too, but Phantasy Star fans will probably be eager to pick up SEGA's RPG anyway. For the Wii, Sonic returns in another one of his storybook games, Sonic and the Black Knight.
It's another packed new game release week. There is something to select from for every gaming system. Many PlayStation 3 gamers will find their hours going into Uncharted 2. It has already been rated as one of this year's best games. Double Fine Productions is delivering their Brutal Legend game this week for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gamers. Both of the games will be available on the crack of October 13th, midnight, from GameStop's Midnight Launch opening event. Wii gamers, you have plenty to keep yourselves busy too. If you haven't picked up Wii Sports Resort yet, now's a great time to with the Limited Edition Wii Sports Resort Bundle. It includes two Wii MotionPlus controllers, instead of the usual one, saving your $10. A Boy and His Blob returns with a charming new art style. SEGA delivers the second Mario and Sonic competitive outing with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Also fitting for an October release is JU-ON: The Grudge, which is subtitled "The Haunted House Simulator." Star Wars fans, you have the first officially licensed Wii peripherals out, which include Lightsabers, a Blaster and the Darth Vader Wii Remote Sensor Bar Holder. See what's coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, Nintendo DS and PSP.
