Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.
The arrival of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots is no doubt the highlight of the week as well as the highlight of the summer. Check out the
special post for more details on the MGS4 campaign.
The movie and the game industries are intimately linked, a game is often released alongside the showing of the movie. After visiting the cinemas for
The Incredible Hulk and
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, take the games back home, step in the heroes' pair of shoes and enjoy their thrilling adventures.
As the Beijing Olympics draws near, China gained more and more attention. The game
Kung Fu Panda combines cool martial arts with the chubby loveable image of the Panda. This unique action game suitable for the whole family.
Robert Ludlums: The Bourne Conspiracy for Xbox360™ [
Asian and
US versions] and
PlayStation3™ is another game that follows the trends set by novels and movies, however, the action is far less comedic. Get involved in the world of intrigue and espionage as you learn secrets that plague governments.
Journey to the world of the gods and participate in their battles in
God of War. This release is an Entertainment Pack that comes with a bright red slim and lite PSP console specially designed for the game, silkscreen artwork and the Superbad movie.
Colorful fantasy RPGs that came out this week include
Summon Night: Twin Age for Nintendo DS™ and the reprint of
Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia for PlayStation2™.
