If you're a North American next-gen gamer, this week is positively emaciated in terms of content, with only NASCAR 08 popping up to appease the needs of Xbox 360 and PS3 owners, while Wii fans get Alien Syndrome and Escape from Bug Island. But that's at least something, because European gamers get zip in the next-gen category.
On both sides of the Atlantic it's left to the ever-willing PlayStation 2 and ever-giving Nintendo DS to flesh out the weekly release offerings. On the PS2 front, the week's biggest entrant is Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80s, followed by the likes of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Rugby 08.
The Nintendo DS tables a number of puzzle-specific titles along with Chameleon: To Dye For!, Full Metal Alchemist: Trading Card Game, Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers, and Powershot Pinball Constructor.
