New Game Releases: 8/25-8/31

This has easily got to be one of the best weeks for game releases this summer, and with fall quickly approaching, we needed one more big push of releases to end the summer off right.

There’s plenty of notable releases this week, including Tales of Vesperia for the 360, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for the PS3, Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii, and Tiger Woods 09 for multiple consoles.

Also a nice week for downloadable titles including Castle Crashers, the newest game from the makers of Alien Hominid, for the 360 and Helix, as well as Samurai Shodown II and Ys Book I & II for the Wii.
