A look at this week's new releases.
yu Hayabusa is back for another one in Ninja Gaiden II on the Xbox 360. If the last game was pretty, this sequel is downright gorgeous. Though some cried foul on the last game’s insane difficulty curve, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Tecmo’s Team Ninja and Tomonobu Itagaki. Fans of old school action should definitely give this one a shot.
Is it really a Bourne property if the main character doesn’t share Matt Damon’s likeness? It is if it’s being released by Sierra Games. Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy hits shelves this week for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360, though one has to wonder – why now?
Sega gives us their take on "Big Green" with The Incredible Hulk. Being released on every platform known to man, one can expect explosions, thrown objects and fits of rage. If that’s your sort of thing, check it out.
It’s a toy! It’s a video game! It’s BOTH!!! Following the hit that was Lego Star Wars, another Lucas franchise gets a block-filled makeover. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will have players reliving their favorite moments from the first three films. This one’s available for most major consoles, including PC.
Fatal Inertia EX was supposed to be a release title for the PlayStation 3, then it mysteriously became an Xbox 360 exclusive. Koei finally brings their futuristic racer to Sony’s box, but I’m doubtful the new platform will make it any more fun.
