Small but MIGHTY selection of games in stores this week. ROCK is the word of the week, folks. Brütal Legend totally rocks (and harder than many of you think – go play it and see for yourselves), Ju-on will rock you under the couch and Half-Minute Hero will rock your PSP ’til the battery blows up. Uncharted 2’s killer visuals and massive scale will rock your world and there are a hell of a lot of rocks all over Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition’s Wasteland landscape.

Akysys Games never, ever replied to my email request for a copy of Hero’s Saga: Laevatein Tactics, but I’m not going to throw a rock through their window (yet). I’ll have to make do with MagnaCarta 2 on the 360 with its rock-hard battles and Unreal 3-powered visuals or maybe enjoy Where the Wild Things Are, where I hear you jump over a lot of rocks. In Afrika, you’d best find a nice big rock to hide next to, lest you disturb that lion you’re trying to photograph.. that wouldn’t be a good thing at all!
