Box art for Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!... (PSP).

Because it can be difficult to keep track of the plethora of games that are released every day, I am publishing a weekly column where I lay out the coming week's notable (and not so notable) game releases for you, so you know exactly what's coming out and when.

---

This column is back after a one-week hiatus! Unfortunately, the return doesn't come on a very exciting week... or maybe it is exciting, considering the most notable release of the week is a PSP one, and that doesn't happen very often. The brilliantly-named Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This? sees you take control of the God of Destruction in an effort to build dungeons well enough that they thwart any attempts by pesky heroes at slaying the forces of evil. The only other release worth mentioning this week is Activision's surprising stab at gender stereotyping with Science Papa for Nintendo's platforms. Yeah, I'll let you work that one out on your own. Otherwise, unless you're a football fan, there is likely nothing this week for you. Time to play catch-up with the games you've been falling behind on!

All release dates are subject to last-minute changes, and are gathered by way of GameFAQs, a site that I have long found to be a reliable source for release dates (among other things).

Also keep in mind that all listed release dates are for a game's ship date; games are not usually available on store shelves until the following day (although there are rare exceptions where the game is available on the same day).
