Big week for a few titles and it's only going to get better from here - let's take a trip, shall we:
Demon's Souls is of course, my pick of the week, if not the year for PS3 owners (go read my review), but if you're not into the insane level of challenge this one provides and perhaps require something a lot less intense (and family friendly), Natsume's Afrika might very well be up your alley. Think of this grand photo safari adventure as a passport-less trip and a really cool way to see a bit of nature (and interact with it without getting eaten alive or trampled). Fifty bucks for an African Safari and you don't need to get shots? Sign me up!
For you shooter fans, try and play Codemasters' superb tactical FPS Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising as if it's a mere run 'n gun and you'll be in for a very quick trip to the morgue for you and your squad mates. And, hey - isn't it a total trip to see a new Star Wars game show up on every console and portable platform? Wii owners even get a few special peripherals to help them enjoy their version of Clone Wars: Republic Heroes.
A Boy and His Blob is a trip of a different sort, as this remake of the NES classic goes a long way in reinvigorating that nostalgia vibe. Trippy might describe elements of Obscure: The Aftermath, a survival horror game that's inspired by teen slasher flicks and horror games, while tripping over something trappy in SAW could cause poor Detective Tapp to lose his life. Finally, don't trip on that balance board when playing Wii Fit Plus or Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum or else that busted femur will have you laid up in bed exercising your stylus hand in the DS version of The Biggest Loser instead.
Wait... an exercise game for a handheld system? Er... hmmm... I don't even know what to say about that... Anyway, here's this week's list:
