Today’s new releases yield some decent titles and are completely devoid of any crappy licensed products! Everyone should be excited about the latter part of that statement.

DJ Hero – PS2, PS3, Wii, XBOX 360: Published by Activision Blizzard 

If the plethora of guitar and band centered games have started to feel a little stale, then DJ hero is the cure for the complacency. Set up the plastic turntable and mix up some sick tunes as the club bumps and grinds to the beats being laid out. It’s a fresh take on the music game model and offers up awesome new musical concepts like mash-ups, and if Glee has taught the world anything it is that mash-ups are the bomb. DJ Hero is not only a great game, it is a revitalizing agent for a genre that was starting to decay.

Fairytale Fights – PS3, XBOX 360: Published by Playlogic 

Let’s face it, taking something that’s supposed to be sweet and innocent and turning it into something gruesome offers a sick comedic experience for some of us. This game is for those people. Hack and slash the way through levels of cutesy little fairytale creatures and make certain that the specific storylines at hand are never remembered the same saccharine sweet way again.

Forza Motorsport 3 - XBOX 360: Published by Microsoft Games 

Racing fans have a lot to look forward to this week with the release of Forza Motorsport 3 for the XBOX 360. The third installment of the series has polished away the few flaws held by its predecessor and kept up with the rigorous standards that fans would hold it to. Simply put, this game is a no brainer buy for any fan of racing and a definite rental for gamers who simply love a great gaming experience.

Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time – PS3: Published by SCEA 

Two of Sony’s most memorable mascots return for yet another awesome addition to the story. A Crack in Time picks up right after Tools of Destruction and it shouldn’t disappoint. Purchasers can expect awesome visuals, fun sounds, excellent gameplay, and a great storyline. Fans of the series should definitely check it out, but people who dislike the franchise probably won’t be swayed by this title.

Tekken 6 – PS3, XBOX 360: Published by Namco Bandai Games America 

Fighting games used to be a dime a dozen. Now gamers just want more out of their fifty to sixty bucks. That’s why any fighting game that comes out nowadays needs to be pretty awesome and when that game comes from a long line of successful predecessors it’s even more important to truly shine. Tekken 6 may not be redefining the genre, but with decent visuals, great gameplay and a plethora of options as to how the game is played, it certainly keeps things nice and consistent.
