Alright fellow Riptenites, we finally did it. We really got through the big push of huge game releases for the Holiday ‘08 season! We can finally stop spending all the money we had, or for most of us, didn’t have.

I mean no disrespect to Sonic Unleashed, Chrono Trigger for the DS or Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for XBLA and PSN, but the rest of the games that are coming out this week, well, are pretty much crap, to me at least. That makes my choice for pick of the week much easier than it has been in the past few weeks.
