Ninja Gaiden Sigma released this week - Image 1If you've been penny-pinching to save up for upcoming games, here's a little primer on US retail releases this week, starting July 2.

Eye catchers of the week (for the grown-ups) would be Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 and Vampire Rain for the 360. We've been covering both games for quite some time now, and the anticipation is fit to burst through Rachel's black leather suit.

Moms and dads may also want to get Platinum Sudoku or Vegas Casino for those quiet times when the kids are busy with Marvel TCG and Taito Legends 2.

What a way to start the month of July! New month, new week... new games!

» I like it but..

is just the gameplay that I don't like for a vampire slayer.. maybe more a lot of action ala god of war or devil may cry with some shooting techniques then yes.. but is so stealth for the genre

Dark_Alex is focusing on developing for the 360. He said he may return to the PSP in a few months. Dont get too upset.
