A lot of games are coming out this week. A veritable rainbow of releases, if you will.

On the violet side (more like bruise purple, really) we have the Charm Girls Club games and another Imagine [Insert Occupation Here] release. Hit the jump and let's get this ball rolling.

For PSP owners, you can grab Fate/Unlimited Codes and the demo for Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!.
