For years, the Psychonauts have deployed their psychically-armed operatives all over the world, but this time trouble is brewing right in their own backyard. Someone is abducting students from the Psychonaut boot camp - a deranged scientist who only wants their brains. One cadet - a mysterious and powerful new arrival named Raz - stands alone against the lunatic. Raz must develop and unleash an arsenal of paranormal powers, including telekinesis, firestarting, clairvoyance, and his most powerful weapon of all - the ability to launch himself telepathically into someone else's mind, and run around in the demented amusement park of their imagination. Raz takes on their inner demons face to face, wrestles with their nightmares, and digs up their secret memories. Ultimately he must enter the mind of his worst enemy and destroy his dark plans at their source, while trying not to lose his sanity in the process.

Good week for the US with Psychonauts, Good week for Japan with:

Fire Emblem in 3d, fully-voiced CG scenes spread throughout, hot armor, YES.

Clock Tower 4 with a dog and a huge retard trying to rape you. If that's your thing well...

By all accounts the original Romancing Saga was an excellent game. Full fleshed out remake contains scary ugly SD characters, but otherwise everything else looks sexy. Should be a winner.

Rockman Zero 4. A little bit on the Capcom milking/recycle side but hey it's keeping 2d alive.

Naruto 3 DS. Looks like shit, buyer beware.

That dog game for DS. >_<

The Tokyo Racing game by Genki. Ummm, console versions were fun at times; let's see how the PSP one holds up.

To compete against the DS Dogs, the PSP gets Horse racing.

*left out a bunch of PS2/GBA tiny obscure releases because I AM THE LAZY.
 
Demento looked somewhat interesting from what I saw of it, that and I badly need to get some new horror titles

as for the US, oh well... psychonauts is probably good, if I knew what it was
 
I'll do Europe then.

Jade Empire should be in my mailbox by tomorrow :)
Out of the others I'm only really looking forward to the English release of Fire Emblem GC (must-own! IMO). I'll have to try out Psychonauts and Demento before I purchase them..

And it still looks like a Korean MMORPG

I agree. On the other hand, FFX looks like a Hollywood blockbuster animated movie.. but plays like crap. So I'll put my money on Fire Emblem anytime (the GBA version was brilliant)!
 
I had Wrestlemania 21 on pre-order but I cancelled it. The game looks like a stiff and robotic piece of shit thanks to the poor motion capture and animations.
