What's On Tap - New This Week

Another week, another barrel of highly anticipated fall releases. Here's a few of this weeks hottest games. [/stereotypical Adam Sessler banter]

1) Call of Duty: World at War - based on previous Call of Duty titles, you can bet that this is another war game.

2) Mega Man 3 - On the Wii Shop Channel this week, we get to see yet another installment of that adorable little cyborg out to save the planet in the year 20XX!

3) World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - The latest installment of the hugely successful MMORPG with the most epic trailer of video game history (pending Burger Time).



4) Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts - Rare sticks it to Nintendo, releases this on the Xbox 360 only. What's that Mr. Gates? Yes, I would like some more money!

5) Mirror's Edge - Here are EA's words about Mirror's Edge: "In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed and now you are being hunted. You are a Runner called Faith - and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story." The video says it all.



6) Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels - Jedi and sith duel it out with Wiimotes.

7) WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 - Dudes wrestle.

Big week. What're ya buyin'?
