A number of games jump out at me for the next fortnight. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow looks decent as does Enslaved: Odyssey to the West a bit more.

Medal of Honor has been on my radar ever since the announcement at E3 of the remake of Frontline included at no extra cost.

I may finally get around to playing Devil Kings on PS2 with the release of Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes.

I was going to do this week and next week together this time, but when I looked at what was being released, it looked like a normal amount for three weeks! So for the occasion I upped the “3 Big Games” to 5.

For my pick this week I could go for a number of titles in that huge list below. However, I’ll settle for two. One big game and one pick-up-and-play game. The “casual” game that sticks out to me is Metal Slug 7. The big title is going to have to be Tomb Raider Underworld. I never went near a Tomb Raider game until the revamp with Legend and now I can’t seem to get away.

Enough of my jibba-jabba. What’s your pick for this week (even if you get it later)?

THIS WEEK’S 5 BIG GAMES
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3, X360)
Tomb Raider Underworld (X360, PC, PS3, WII, DS)
