The calendar has turned over to September and we know what that means… the stingy Summer of games is over and the Fall release rush is finally here! This week’s new release slate blows away almost everything we’ve received in the last three months. There’s truly something for everybody:
- Sony finishes the fight with the Chimera in Resistance 3 (PS3).
- Zombies invade a tropical paradise in the super-hyped Dead Island (PC, PS3, Xbox 360).
- Star Fox 64 3D, one of the greatest space shooters of all time, comes to the 3DS.
- The Wheelman returns for another getaway in Driver: San Francisco (PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360).
- Those wacky guys at NIS America return to the wacky world of Disgaea in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten (PS3)
- Sega’s non-conventional Kinect title Rise of Nightmares slices and dices store shelves.
- And finally, THQ twists the Warhammer license into an action shooter with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (PC, PS3, Xbox 360).
Check out the full list of the rest of this week’s new releases after the break. (more…)

Nintendo Download: Pac-Man, NES Ambassador Titles
The big addition on Nintendo’s download services today is the 3DS Ambassador NES titles. But that didn’t stop The Big N from adding a few other games as well:
- The 3DS eShop will receive a Virtual Console version of Pac-Man.
- The Wii Shop Channel will receive a World War I-set tower defense game known as Trenches: Generals.
- And the DSiWare Shop will receive House M.D.: Blue Meanie, an adventure game starring everyone’s favorite cantankerous doctor; and Go Series: Fishing Resort, a fishing sim.
More information on all of these games can be found in the weekly Nintendo Download newsletter.
Professor Layton and the Last Specter dated
Get ready to put on your thinking cap! Professor Layton and the Last Specter will be released on October 17 for the Nintendo DS.
The fourth game in the series, Last Specter will be the first in a new trilogy, set as a prequel to the original trilogy – three years before Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Not only does this game boast the most puzzles in the series, the North American version also has a bonus RPG that will have over 100 hours of extra content.
Excited? I know Ryan Littlefield is.

Gargoyle’s Quest added to 3DS eShop
Nintendo has released their weekly Nintendo Download update and the Game Boy classic Gargoyle’s Quest leads this week’s new games. The first adventure of Firebrand (unless you count his villainous turn in Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins) will be joined by one Virtual Console release and a trio of DSiWare games.
Originally released on the Super NES, The Ignition Factor is considered one of the best firefighting games of all time. It’s the lone addition to the Wii Shop Channel this week.
The new games on the DSiWare Shop are actually two new games and one new productivity application. The games include Magical Whip: Wizards of the Phantasmal Forest, a side-scrolling platformer and Let’s Create! Pottery, a pottery-making sim. The productivity app is simply titled Calculator, and as you may have guessed, it turns your DSi/3DS into a calculator.
More information on all of these games can be found at the Nintendo Download weekly newsletter.

Kirby Wii gets new title, October 24 release date
Kirby Wii has inhaled some of that fresh PAX air and spit out a new title (Kirby’s Return to Dreamland), a new release date (October 24) and the new trailer you see above.
The pink puffball leads an impressive lineup of playable demos that Nintendo plans to bring to this weekend’s PAX Prime. If you’ve got tickets (the show has been sold out for months), I highly recommend stopping by Nintendo’s booth (No. 462).
