DS releases for the week of July 7th

Civilization Revolution may be a wacky departure from the main Civilization series, but as of this week it has at least one thing in common with its predecessors: people can buy it! It's also related, however tenuously, to the only other DS game coming out this week, Carnival Games. Both are published by 2K, yes, and both are designed for casual play, to wildly varying degrees. For Civilization Revolution, "casual" means "more casual than Civ," and for Carnival Games, it means "let the dog play while you take a break to make lunch."

• Carnival Games

• Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

After the break, the rest of the world's releases. Europe gets more than two! Japan gets way more than two, including the new Stafy game!
