On Shelves This Week - Image 1 


The year's next batch of releases are here, and from the looks of it, games are picking up. Unlike last time, a good chunk of new titles for Nintendo's platforms compose this week's list. PC gamers fret not, because a few including a next-gen train simulator is heading to their gaming machines. Oh, and there's something for PSP owners too.

Samurai Warriors: Katana by Koei - Image 1 CSI: Hard Evidence. After appearing on various platforms, this mystery title is coming to the Wii. You won't need superior deductive skills to guess whodunnit. CSI on Ninty's motion-sensing capable console will involve a lot of waggling forensic tools with the Wii Remote.
FlatOut: Head On. The explosive racing franchise is extending its reach by doing runs on the PC for the first time without leaving PSP owners behind. Following what made FlatOut 2 great, Head On promises a more intense experience with new cars and devastating crashes.

Furu Furu Park. Because we just love collections of minigames on the Wii, here's another from Majesco that offers 30 of them party games including variations of classics such as Bubble Bobble and Arkanoid. Three multiplayer modes make sure you'll have extended fun time with your friends.

Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge. Adding to Mumbo Jumbo's growing collection is Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge, a full-blown puzzle game that takes you through 88 levels set in Egypt. New explosive power-ups, blessings, and other quirks should convince fans that it's a worthy installment to the series.

Nanostray 2. It's been a while since we first heard of this title, but it looks like the sequel to a solid top-down shooter is finally coming. Nanostray 2 has an array of new features that easily sets it apart from its predecessor, what with six game modes, multiple control schemes, and 16 bad bosses.

Rail Simulator. Remember when you were a child who always wanted to be a train operator when he grows up? It's not everybody's dream, but if serving the public by running trains is your thing, here's one that allows you to do just that in next-gen mechanics. Thousands of mileage await, so hit the rail!
Samurai Warriors: Katana. Now that many Japanese gamers probably already hacked for hours on end to kill hundreds of generic soldiers and make their arms sore, Koei's Wii offering from the popular franchise is finally invading western shores. Samurai Warriors: Katana lets you play hack n' slash in first-person - something new to the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games.
