On Shelves This Week: September 3 to September 9, 2007

Posted Sep 3, 2007 at 8:27AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Games, News Tags: Electronic Arts, ESRB, Midway Games, Sony, THQ, Tiger Hill Entertainment

Debuting this week is Medal of Honor: Airborne, and as fate would have it, a couple of other war games - even some World War II themed ones like Hearts of Iron - are joining it on the shelves. Stranglehold is also hitting the market for the Xbox 360 and the PC, with the Sony PS3 version coming later this month.

Another game wriggling its way to the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP this week is Worms: Open Warfare 2. The worms are back with their rocket launchers and grenades ready to do some serious squishy damage.
