If you thought last week's release list was hot, you haven't seen anything yet. Let's get the obvious out of the way first - Gears of War finally hits retail this week and the Xbox 360 will probably never be the same. Expect thunder, expect lightning... expect Xbox Live to be moving at the speed of a diseased turtle - yes, this is going to be BIG.
While Gears of War may be the biggest release of the week, a lot of other heavyweights are hitting shelves in the next seven days, including Call of Duty 3 (360, PS2, XBX), Guitar Hero II (PS2), Tony Hawk's Project 8 (360, PS2, PSP, XBX) and Viva Pinata (360). On the hardware end, Microsoft will be releasing both the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive add-on and wireless steering wheel controller, priced at $199.99 and $149.99 respectively.
Yes, the bank accounts and credit cards of gamers everywhere are sure to be quaking in fear for the next few weeks. Isn't it glorious?
