The year 2008 is well underway and game releases are pouring again. There may not have been a whole lot in last week's batch, but this week offers a handful. Microsoft Xbox 360 owners will get some action-RPG and sports thrills, while the Nintendo Wii crowd will get another dose of puzzle bliss. Check out this crop and see if anything appeals to you:

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. Step into the courtroom as third-rate defense lawyer Harvey Birdman attempts to exonerate classic cartoon characters from the most insane charges. The humor of the cartoon combined with Capcom's gameplay style will make for hours of fun.

Sony PSP, Nintendo Wii - January 8, 2008

Jackass the Game. Most of us love watching Johnny Knoxville and the crazy gang who treat us with insane stunts every so often. However, we probably won't touch what they do with a 10-foot pole. That's where the show's official game spin-off comes in: It lets us take the director's seat and throw the idiots into repugnant acts of self-destruction. Try it: It's good for the soul.

Nintendo DS - January 8, 2008
US$ 29.99
ESRB T (Teewn)
Red Mile Entertainment

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. While most of us expected a new strategy RPG from Blue Side, the sequel to Kingdom Under Fire takes on the action-RPG genre and delivers a nice spectacle of special effects, fresh gameplay, and epic storytelling. Randomly-generated maps will be yours to explore, and they'll be crawling with monsters to keep you hacking all the way.

Microsoft Xbox 360- January 8, 2008
US$ 59.99
ESRB M (Mature)
Microsoft Game Studios, Blue Side

Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge. Explore ancient Egypt and the afterlife in a game that pits you in a card quest for magical upgrades, blessings, scarabs, and more. A story mode and an Endless Mode are also in store to suit various gameplay tastes.

Nintendo Wii - January 8, 2008
US$ 39.99
ESRB E (Everyone)
Mumbo Jumbo Games

NFL Tour. If you're a bit weary of the usual football simulation titles, you might want to check out EA's latest offering. You'll be touring the biggest city in the U.S., and you'll be playing seven-on-seven ball against the league's meanest SOBs. If you succeed, teams just might take notice and list you in on their rosters.

Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360 - January 8, 2008
US$ 39.99
ESRB E (Everyone)
EA

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. Sonic and the whole cast might have gotten bored with the usual races they hold on solid ground, so they're taking the rush to outer space this time to get a new kick out of speed. As the name suggests, gravity or the lack thereof will play a big role in how you race. Add to that the unique controls of the Nintendo Wii, and you're sure to have a blazin' good time.
