Not much in major releases this week, which is a good thing as last week was jammed packed full of goodness. It's also especially a good thing for Borderlands as it has no real competition this week, as far as action games go.
Otherwise, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 and FIFA Soccer 10 are a couple of biggies this week too. They always do well in sales, even if not much has changed from the previous years. Sports games!
What's looking sw33t to you all? The full list of releases and trailers for some of the games await you after the break.

Borderlands does look really good, but it might fall victim to the flood of great games coming out the rest of the year. :( I wanna play it, just not before I play/finish Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Dragon Age, and most likely MW2.
Also, jeebus, those ads before the destructoid videos are annoyingly loud, only to be follow with audio you can't even hear after turning the volume down to a reasonable level.
torn between Borderlands and the new Smackdown. I'm prolly going to rent Borderlands however due to the replayability of Smackdown being able to create my own story lines for up to 10 years. I can finally continue my Louis Gossett Jr Iron Eagle storyline until he dies of a liver failure in the ring.
I've been torn for reviews for the first time in my videogaming life, I was waiting for a great football game with a good online and I must admit, I'm a PES fan, but the european reviews that I'm getting for both FIFA 10 and PES10 tell me I should put my money on FIFA10.. makes me a bit sad.
For the other part, I am already collecting money for Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls..
Just FIFA 10 for me this week. I'm pretty excited, as it'll be my first FIFA game this generation, and it's gotten awesome reviews. I'm not sure when I'll have time to play it, having recently purchased Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, NHL 10, NBA 2K10 and DiRT 2, but oh, well.
My money's going to FIFA 10 this week. Having played Borderlands twice now, there's just not enough there to warrant a week one purchase. Once it gets a little cheaper, I'm sure I can talk some friends into getting a few copies for co-op.
FIFA 10, on the other hand, has made incredible strides over last year's excellent effort.
If Mytran Wars actually comes out this week I might get it. Otherwise, nothing doing. I only just finished Demon's Souls, and I still have tons of stuff from last week to work on.
I already have Borderlands reserved and paid in full, so obviously I'm getting that. I'm also getting Way of the Samurai 3, the first two were amazing games. Incredibly over looked and underrated gems of last gen.
BORDERLANDS was one of the best games I played @ PAX this year.. I played on a souped up PC but the 360 vers should be damn near as good I'm hoping. Bayonetta was the other MUST for me from PAX but wow I really was impressed by BLands...
