On Shelves This Week Banner - Image 1


Pirates of the Burning Sea from Flying Labs Software - Image 1We certainly got a haul of good game releases last week, and fortunately for us, the lucky gaming streak applies to this week as well. Aside for a few games including the maiden voyage of Flying Lab Software's MMORPG Pirates of the Burning Sea, Nintendo still owns this round. Wii and DS gamers, make sure that you still have some cash handy because there are still more great games coming your way, such as...

Pirates of the Burning Sea. After several rounds of stress tests, beta testing sessions and a successful Preboarding kick-off, Flying Lab Software's nautical MMORPG is finally live. Come sail in the high seas and engage in some swashbuckling action either as a notorious pirate, or as a citizen of France, England, or Spain.
  • PC - January 21, 2008
  • US$ 49.99
  • ESRB Rating Pending

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. The great sequel to Advance Wars: Dual Strike is finally on the horizon, sporting a darker, grittier post-apocalyptic storyline and visuals. Expect unusually high replay value on this title with the addition of online play.
  • Nintendo DS - January 21, 2008
  • US$ 29.99
  • ESRB Everyone 10+
  • Intelligent Systems and Nintendo
No More Heroes. So what happens if you chanced upon a cool Beam Katana in an internet auction? Step into anime otaku-turned-assassin Travis Touchdown's shoes as he fights his way to the top of the assassin heap, and make a living by mowing his neighbor's lawns.
Burnout Paradise. If you want a quick fix of fast, aggressive driving on your next-gen console, then look no further. The latest title in this drive fast, drive hard series will let ultra-aggressive drivers crashing anywhere they want in the world in Burnout Paradise's Showtime Mode. The ultimate charm in this game remains the same, of course: witnessing pristine, pretty cars get disfigured and deformed into scarred crash test machines.
  • PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - January 22, 2008
  • US$ 59.99
  • ESRB Everyone 10+
  • Criterion Games and Electronic Arts
Endless Ocean. We all know that the never-ceasing barrage of violence in games may get a bit tiring and old at times, and we're just glad that soothing gaming gems such as Nintendo and Arika's vast, endless blue adventure Endless Ocean pops up from time to time, giving us a short reprieve. Search for treasures in the calm, blue sea and befriend marine creatures, both great and small.
  • Wii - January 22, 2008
  • US$ 29.99
  • ESRB Everyone
  • Arika and Nintendo
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. The epic Nintendo and Sega mascot tie-in is finally set to hit Nintendo's tactile handheld. Watch Mario and Sonic - once the most bitter rivals in classic gaming history - end up battling each other in the same game, competing against each other in friendly (or not-so-friendly) sport matches.
  • Nintendo DS - January 23, 2008
  • US$ 34.99
  • ESRB Everyone
  • Nintendo and Sega Japan
One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. Join Luffy and the Straw Hat pirates as they try to escape a mysterious island, and look for treasure along the way. This action-adventure title based on one of Shonen Jump's popular series will have gamers wander for the most part in the game, and battle the some of the anime's nefarious villains, such as Saw-tooth Arlong and Hawk-Eye Mihawk.
  • Wii - January 23, 2008
  • US$ 39.99
  • ESRB Teen
  • Namco Bandai and Ganbarion
Pacific Storm: Allies. Fans of historic real-time strategy games may have something nice to chew on in Pacific Storm: Allies. Focusing mainly on World War II's naval warfare, Pacific Storm: Allies lets gamers take the helm and build their fleets from the ground up, including ship and plane design and troop deployment.
  • PC - January 22, 2008
  • US$ 29.99
  • ESRB Teen
  • Lesta Studios, Buka Entertainment, and cdv Software
Rainbow Islands Evolution. We can certainly sympathize with the game's protagonists, Bub and Bob, when they suffer at the hands of an evil recording company whose music is bad enough to warp the environment. Story of our lives much? We wish that we can take matters into our own hands like Bub and Bob did, with the help of their rainbow-making weapon. Groovy.
