On Shelves This Week - Image 1


Tired of the flimsy four-game batches we've been having lately? We've got double the number this week, with big titles you definitely don't want to miss out on, even if you're not much of a day one buyer. For starters, there the PC release for Bionic Commando and the naval strategy game, East India Company. Cherry on the icing goes to King of Fighters XII and the much-anticipated Wii Sports Resort, hand-in-hand with the Wii MotionPlus.

MY SECRET DIARY

OMFG.. I'll pee my pants.

Now, if I remember correctly Wii Sports Resort was to come out on the 24th, am I right? Took me long enough to put two and two together and figure out that Wii Sports Resort and the skydiving game the E3 Ninty presscon showed were one and the same. Hopefully that the so called "lightsaber game" will support the MotionPlus...
