This week's major release is Dragon Age: Originsfor the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. It's the latest and greatest from Bioware and takes gamers to the past rather than the future. Oh, and it's going to let Brad Nicholson ride dragons ... I think.
Speaking of the future, a couple of new Star Wars games are out. Well, actually, they're both re-releases in a way. Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron makes the jump to the PSP and DS and Star Wars The Force Unleashed is getting re-released with new additions on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Activision and Warner Bros. are going head-to-head again with the release of Band Hero and Lego Rock Band. And rounding out the releases are a handful of games from Ubisoft which includes Rabbids Go Home.
Plenty to choose from this week, Dtoiders! What's looking sw33t to you? Hit the break for the full release schedule, trailers and preview links for most of the games.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Normally I wait and buy games used on eBay. Bioware is a rare exception to that rule. Tomorrow will be epic and awesome.
Oh, and strictly speaking, Star Wars isn't the future. It's long ago in a galaxy far, far away >.> But hey, laser swords = futre. I can get down with that logic.
Damn, guess I'm spending $120 (not to mention the import fees) to buff up my Guitar Hero 5 and Rock Band song libraries. I Want You to Want Me and The Final Countdown are worth every penny.

Nevermind.
I know where I'll be in 10 hours.
I'll probably end up buying Atelier Annie anyway though. :/
