Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) finally rocked the video gaming shelves last week. With lots of next-gen console gamers busy for the coming days, we're not surprised at all that this week was all about the Wii and the handhelds.

So how did this week follow up the GTA 4 release? With some Hollywood flavor, that's how. Spearheading this week's releases are Steven Spielberg (the director of ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, and Jurassic Park fame) and the movie tie-in to the 1960 cartoon series Speed Racer. Here's the entire menu:

Boom Blox. Steven Spielberg ventures into the video gaming industry by overseeing this block-centric puzzle game for your Wii. What does the Academy Award-winning director have up his sleeve? With hundreds of levels to entertain us and "the best physics on any platform," that's for us to find out.
