In Stores This Week: Video Games

If you didn’t spend all of your money on a 3DS and accompanying games over the weekend, then you probably want something to satisfy your itch this week. There doesn’t seem to be much happening though. Probably because nobody wants to compete with Nintendo’s new handheld.

Dynasty Warriors 7
WWE All Stars
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters
Shift 2 – Unleashed
NASCAR The Game 2011

Nintendo Wii:
Country Dance

Nintendo DS:

Sony PSP:

The 3rd Birthday

Only two games worth highlighting, one of them a niche, NBA Jam style wrestling title? And you’re probably looking at the other one and wondering what it is. Square Enix has been trying to promote this, but it just hasn’t gotten a lot of attention. The 3rd Birthday is actually the next game in the Parasite Eve series. As much as I love my PSP, it just seems like a dying platform, which is probably why a game with such great pedigree is getting ignored.
