The end of the month is coming up, and while you guys will be out there running around trick-or-treating, we thought we'd tickle your gaming sweet tooth by giving you a compilation list of the games coming out for the next few days. Once again, save
yourself the trouble of sweating out a long walk to you local retail store, and enjoy our Halloween treat for  'ya.

And while there's a lot of games to look forward to, we'll have to honestly say that our top picks would have to be The Sims 2: Pets (Sickeningly cute animals, go figure), and FEAR (This one just for this holiday's sake).

Orbital Media is best known in the US for its Game Boy Advance title, Racing Gears Advance. Beyond that, the company has not been able to ship its own games... until now.

The said company has teamed up with Southpeak Interactive and has come up with games for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, two of which are ready for release and will soon hit shelves in North America.

Southpeak Interactive will be handling the publishing duties of both the Game Boy Advance game entitled Juka & The Monophonic Menace, and the  Scurge: Hive, the latter also having a DS version.

For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the game, Scurge: Hive showcases the adventures that Jenosa Arma gets into as she battles with a contagious and deadly virus but in the end, contracts the virus herself. Sounds interesting, huh? Well now, you can follow Jenosa Arma's adventures in the GBA as well, along with Juka and the Monophonic Menace. The two games are expected to be released later this year.

With summer almost here, most people are now starting to get preoccupied with either looking for summer jobs or planning their summer vacations. But dedicated gamers are of a different sort - waiting for games to be released these coming days is their main business (or sometimes, folly).
Here's a list of games for release from June 5 to 9 this week. I wonder which ones I'll be able to grab...
