Weekly Games/Toys update: Under Defeat, Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Empires, The Godfather, Cooking Mama, Shin Sangoku Musou 2nd Evolution & much more
   
Welcome to this week's Games & Toys update, our Thursday summary, where we are reviewing all related items released during the last 7 days.

As common for this period of the year, an impressive number of new titles (more than 50) were published in Japan, along with a couple of interesting Asian releases.

Play-Asia's top product of the week has without doubt been G.Rev's Dreamcast™ shooter Under Defeat (Regular/Limited), selling an impressive quantity and still giving hope that G.Rev might consider to port Senko no Ronde to Dreamcast™ as well.

PlayStation2™ highlights have been Namco's Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (Japanese/Asia), Koei's Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Empires (also available in a number of different editions), Harukanaru Jikuu no Kade 3: Unmei no Meikyuu (Regular/Premium Box/Triple Pack) and SNK Playmore's The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact Maniax.

The most interesting handheld game releases have been Capcom's Viewtiful Joe Battle Carnival (Japanese/Asia) and Koei's Shin Sangoku Musou 2nd Evolution (Regular/All in Guard Box) for PSP™, Taito's innovative and cute Cooking Mama, Hudson's Puzzle Series Vol. 3: Sudoku, Nintendo's Pokemon Rangers: Diamond-Pearl e no Michi and Taito's Ys Strategy for Nintendo DS™ as well as Sting's Yggdra Union for Gameboy Advance™.

Top Asia version releases in this week have been EA's The Godfather (PS2™/Xbox™), the Xbox360™ releases Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2 as well as the Xbox™ games Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Driver: Parallel Lines.
