New games this week: Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80's edition
Sure, it may feel like kind of a shameless cash grab, and much of the song choice is questionable at best, but unless you've got posters of Dick Trickle or Rusty Wallace hanging on your wall, it appears to be the best thing out this week. More after the jump.%Gallery-3887%
New games this week: All Pro Football 2K8 edition
As fans of the 2K football series from way back, we had to feature the company's return to the gridiron, All Pro Football 2K8. Though we can't shake the feeling that we're watching the 18th season of a TV show where the real stars have been replaced by James Brolin and Dana Delany, if there's a competitor that's going to push Madden from "passable" to "great", we're all for it. Check out a trailer after the jump.
New games this week: Project Sylpheed edition
Wow, this is a tough week for video games. Think about this though: If Project Sylpheed wasn't coming out, this could have ended up as "New games this week: Smash Court Tennis 3 edition". Yikes. If you're astoundingly bored or a glutton for punishment, there's sort of more after the break.
New games this week: Ninja Gaiden Sigma edition
Yikes. The loving was so good last week that we almost forgot that this was still summer. Thankfully, this week has jumped up and slapped us in the jaw to remind us. Ninja Gaiden Sigma seems to be the easy pick this week, unless you've played it so many times by now that you're sick of it. In that case, it may be time to invest in a book of some sort, or take up yachting for a week. There's (a little bit) more after the break. %Gallery-4470%
New games this week: The Darkness edition
It's a hefty week for late June, not that you're going to hear us complaining. There are a lot of new games to be excited about this week, but we think that The Darkness looks like the pick of the litter (thought we'll be the first to admit we had a lot of fun with that Overlord demo). What are you planning on picking up?%Gallery-2283%
New games this week: DiRT edition
This week's new batch of games marks the release of DiRT, once headlined by Scottish racer Colin McRae until he was deemed less popular than dirt for the US release. Those looking for something a little creepier may be happy to know that everyone's favorite smokey-voiced merchant has returned for the now-thrice-released Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. Otherwise, there's a rather nasty drought of new-gen games this week, though PC and portable consoles have plenty to play until next Tuesday. You can commence reading the release list starting .... wait for it ... now.%Gallery-4072%
New games this week: Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree edition
Sure to be an ironic favorite of Joseph Merrick, Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree is set to reach the U.S. this week. If you're anything like us, you're also excited about the Crash Bandicoot Action Pack, or, at least, you were until you realized it consisted of Crash Tag Team Racing, Crash Twinsanity and Crash Nitro Kart. Isn't that like releasing Meatloaf's Greatest Hits with just an endless loop of "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are" and a puppy getting kicked down some stairs? You might find something you like more right after the jump.Nintendo Wii: Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree Scarface Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer The Sims 2: Pets %Gallery-3847%
New games this week: Tomb Raider Anniversary edition
It's weird isn't it? It's like seeing an old flame that you heard got fat so you forget about them, only to find out that they're apparently hot again. Also we're not sure if we're talking about a Tomb Raider game being the top release or the fact that it's on PS2.The whole week is weird like that. Let's get to it. PlayStation 2: Tomb Raider Anniversary %Gallery-3623%
New games this week: Halo 2 Vista finally arrives edition
Another week, another batch of games to steal your time and money in exchange for a few moments of fun. We love it. The big news comes from two magic words under the PC release list: Halo 2. After several delays, including the most recent one involving nudity, Vista owners can finally get their Halo on. Adventure gamers also have something to celebrate this week, as Secrets of Atlantis is hitting the PC in just a few days. Finally, Surf's Up is ready to make a huge splash, drenching every console with its fishy movie tie-in stench. Read on for a few dozen other excuses to play hooky.%Gallery-3486%
New games this week: Pirates of the Caribbean edition
For a group so well-known for dividing things (loot, Elizabeth and Will, etc.), pirates are certainly doing a lot of uniting this week. Namely, they're uniting every system on the planet with a copy of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Yo ho ho and a bottle of togetherness.Xbox 360: Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold Wartech: Senko no Ronde Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Rush 'n Attack Xevious %Gallery-3329%
New games this week: Shrek the Third edition
We were jonesing to insert a Smash Mouth lyrical pun like "I saw this game, now I'm a believer" or "Hey Shrek, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play," but we couldn't decide on just one. So instead, we'll just say that if you enjoy the film Shrek the Third, you can now buy a game that's also called Shrek the Third.Xbox 360: Shrek the Third %Gallery-3110%
New games this week: Spider-Man 3 edition
Though it's been years in the making, this Friday, the brand synergy that began with adopting the Spider-Man font for the PlayStation 3 will reach its inevitable -- and glorious -- conclusion: Spider-Man 3 comes out in theaters, and every video game system known to man (except PSP, they've got to wait), including ... the PlayStation 3. So, there it is above, replete with identical 3s, the Spider-Man 3 Collector's Edition for PS3. Oh, did we mention that the PS3 is the only console getting a "Collector's Edition" with the ability to play as the New Goblin with Sixaxis controls? Can't you feel the synergy?The rest of the week's new games are after the break ... %Gallery-2871%
New games this week: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl edition
Even if you have no proclivity to catch 'em all, you'd have to admit that Pokemans are holding down the fort this week. At least they're not ports, which is more than you can say for the big three. Besides all that, the kids just love 'em.%Gallery-2742%Nintendo DS: Pokemon Diamond Pokemon Pearl SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Devilish
New games this week: Bust-a-Move Bash! edition
The Wii continues its streak this week of being the only one of the big three consoles with a new release, this time we're treated to Bust-a-Move Bash!. If you'd like to see how the puzzler translates to the Wii or want to check out how the rest of the week is shaping up (spoiler: poorly) check after the break.

New games this week: Super Paper Mario edition
This week's release of the much anticipated one-time Gamecube title, Super Paper Mario, goes relatively uncontested, which is a good thing for multi-platform gamers with a limited budget. First, a gallery of the 2D - 3D gameplay, then the rest of the week's releases after the break.Wii: Super Paper Mario %Gallery-1586%
