On Shelves This Week: July 16 to July 22, 2007

Posted Jul 16, 2007 at 1:19AM by QJ Staff Listed in: News, Games Tags: Cornered Rat Software, GRAW, Microsoft, Montana, Namco Bandai, Sony

E3 is over and done with, leaving some of us hopeful for games queued up for the next couple of months. That doesn't necessarily mean we should turn a blind eye to this week's releases though. There are still a couple of gems not worth passing up.

While Nintendo doesn't have anything up for this week, it's going to be a busy one for the Sony and Microsoft camp as things heat up on the gridiron with All-Pro Football 2K8 and NCAA Football 08, both available on the 360 and PS3.

Over at the handheld side, we've got a rapping dog in the form of PaRappa the Rapper and Namco Bandai's latest Tales installment, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, for the PSP.

Desktop gamers also find a treat this week: the PC version of GRAW 2 is to be released, as well as the Mac OS X version of World War II Online.

On with the festivities then! We've got a touchdown to score.

All-Pro Football 2K8. Sports-buffs wanting to scratch their jock-itch for more football titles might want to give this a try. Boasting realistic football mechanics and, more importantly, a roster of football legends like Jerry Rice and Joe Montana could make this a sports title that competes with the likes of Madden.

NCAA Football 08. If you're not much for legendary football greats, maybe some college action would work for you. There's been a lot of hype around the Dynasty Mode and My Shrine feature, so here's our chance to finally experience what the devs are really talking about.

PaRappa the Rapper. Kick-punch-block your way through this rhythm-based remake of the classic PSOne title. Help PaRappa rap his way to Sunny Funny's heart, as this journey into music will have you encounter a strange lot of characters, including a moose as your driving instructor, a Rastafarian frog at a flea market, and the ever-famous Master Onion.

Ride! Carnival Tycoon. Delayed once again from last week's release, this game is in for quite a ride itself. This Tycoon title will have you testing your management-savvy on the fairgrounds.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Gold Edition. Containing Civ IV and its Warlords expansion, this bundle will charm the hearts of simulation fans, both old and new alike. The Gold Edition also includes freebies such as a behind-the-scenes DVD, a tech-tree poster, and an exclusive poster from Greg Hildebrandt.

Tales of The World: Radiant Mythology. Latest in the Tales series, this RPG retains the unique battle interface we've all grown to love. Also, another thing to look out for is the cast of characters in the game: you'll be seeing some cameos of other people featured in other Tales games like Leon, Reid, Chester, and Senel.

PlayStation Portable - July 17, 2007
US$ 39.99
ESRB T (Teen)
Namco Bandai

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Although the 360 version of this FPS title has already been released some time back, PC gamers would be glad to hear it's finally their turn to get into the heat of the anti-terror campaigns.

PC - July 17, 2007
US$ 49.99

Ubisoft

World War II Online: Battleground Europe. Released last year on the PC, this MMORPG finally gets some Apple treatment. Tactical warfare and FPS skills will get your through these hot waters. Maybe a bit of historical background too.

Until 2005 the 2k series games had been better than the madden games. Thus EA dropping that huge wad of cash on NFL exclusivity.

I'm ooking forward to all-pro 2k5. should be good times.
