Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360, PS3) – The long awaited and hyped Resident Evil game finally arrives this week. But what can be said that hasn’t been said already? The game takes place 10 years after the original with Chris Redfield in Africa trying to find the origins of the virus. Then all hell breaks loose.

MadWorld (Wii) – You play as Jack, a dude with a chainsaw arm who is competing in some TV show called Death Watch. The art style of the game is comparable to the Sin City film and the game play makes use of the Wii Remote’s motion sensing mechanism along with the nunchuk attachment.

Samurai Shodown Anthology (PS2, PSP, Wii) – The original Samurai Shodown was released in the arcades back in 1993 and hit consoles a little but later. But for those hardcore fans, this anthology has six Samurai Shodown games including Samurai Shodown Vi, which was never released in North America.

Trivial Pursuit (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) – The classic trivia game finally makes it to video game consoles with new questions, new categories, and new modes.

Avalon Code (DS) – This is an action role playing game that’s a bit different from other RPGs. Instead of being the guy that is supposed to save the world, you’re the guy that lets the powers know what’s worth saving using the Book of Prophecy.

Mana Khemia: Student Alliance (PSP) – This game is actually a port of PS2’s Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis which came out a year ago. Think of it as a Japanese Harry Potter with a bunch of teenagers learning how to become alchemists and deal with a larger issue within the school.

Grey’s Anatomy (Wii, DS) – Based upon the popular ABC television show, Grey’s Anatomy. But don’t expect a storied romance. The game is a mix between Trauma Surgeon and an adventure game with you taking on the roles as your favorite characters from the show.

My Sims Party (Wii, DS) – This is the third game in the new MySims franchise for Nintendo. This one is just a collection of mini-games for the casual gamer.

Docomodake  BOING! (DS) – It’s a puzzle game where you play as a mushroom looking character that jumps, climbs and digs itself around the forest.

Zubo (DS) – It’s a rhythm-based game that will find you doing different tasks from fighting to exploring.

Totally Spies: Totally Party (Wii, PS2) – Based on the French animated series, the game follows the three teenage superspies from California on another adventure.
