New Releases 6/15-6/21: When Invaders Go Extreme Edition


This week sees the release of more DS titles, than all the other platforms combined. So, if dressing up virtual dogs or rock stars is the way to express your inner fashion designer, this week has you covered. On the other hand, if high-risk Alaskan fishing is your thing, 360 owners can reel in giant enemy crabs for massive damage.

Pick of the Week: After playing the import version of Space Invaders Extreme for the last few months, we can wholeheartedly recommend this twenty-dollar title. Unlike most updates of retro games that fail to capture the spirit of the original, this title plays like our old favorite mixed with Lumines. PC owners might want to take a look at Spore Creature Creator, a demo which gives players a small taste of what this September title has to offer.

  9. No love for Arkanoid?

  10. Funny pic, is that Boston?

  11. I thought you guys were big R&C fans? How come no love for Clank?

  12. Please no more cart racing games ala Wacky Races: Crash & Dash.

  13. Clank is developed by a different developer than most of the Ratchet games, so no nod for PotW.
