New This Week...Nothing!

It's a pretty boring week for new releases. Let's face it, the holidays is about pushing discounted old games. Thus, let's take a look at some titles early 2008 will have to offer.

- As previously reported, "Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity" is coming to the Wii on January 8.

- Another title that this blogger is eagerly anticipating is the upcoming "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law" game for the Wii, PSP and PS2. This game is also set to release on January 8.

- "NFL Tour" looks interesting. The game takes you on an NFL road show tour to gain your own NFL contract. The game is set to release January 8 for the 360.

- "Haze" is a first-person shooter for the PS3, released from Ubisoft and the developers of "Timeaplitters." Here's a trailer - it looks so very good. It's set to release on January 15.

- "Samurai Warriors: Katana" is my personal hopeful. After bad reviews of "Red Steel" for the Wii, I'm hoping this one will bring home the bacon. This one's also set for January 15.

- "Burnout Paradise" looks incredible. With a whole new format and the song "Paradise City" cited as the theme, the game looks to be a great competitor for the last games in the Burnout series. The game is slated for a January 22 release for the 360 and PS3.

- Also out on the 22 is "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" for the DS. Could it be better than the Wii version?

-Also due in January (with no set date) is "Bomberman Land" for the Wii and PSP and "Bomberman Land Touch! 2" for the DS. Can Bomberman make another non-360 Arcade good game?

-February 5 is an important date in gaming. Not only will it see the return of Dante with "Devil May Cry 4," but it also slates the return of "Turok." Each game will release for the PS3, 360, and the PC.

- Also slated for a February release (with no set date) is "Assassin's Creed (working title)" for the DS.

- On February 10, the EXTREMELY eagerly awaited "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" will be released.

- Finally, another couple of spicy looking games to be released in the first quarter of 2008 are "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue" for the PS3 and a game based on the hit TV show, "Lost," for the 360 and the PS3.

So what are you looking forward to in the coming year of gaming?
