You know, a lot of people say the PC game market is dying, but looking at this week's release list, I'm thinking that it's just that no one wants to trudge through all the crap titles to find anything but the top tier games. Look at the PC games listed here and you probably won't find a single hit in the bunch - and I'm sure retailers who just order titles because they're being released feel like they get burned every single week.
Hell, there are even a lot of throwaway titles on the console systems this week, with the Xbox 360 finally reaching the age where garbage titles start to appear on it. On the bright side, Playstation 2 owners finally get to grab Capcom's Okami, which should be a treat based on some of the demo levels I've gotten to play recently. Xbox 360 owners finally get The Godfather and the Xbox Live Vision Camera, and everyone else gets a bunch of titles that may or may not be of any interest to you. Here's this week's list;
