Nothing is really catching my eye this week. I've played a little of Dark Sector already a few months back and wasn't really impressed. I'll give the game a shot again, but I'm not holding my breath. Viking: Battle for Asgard looks like it could be good as well. I've never heard of it until today, but I might just have to pick this up as well.
Also, if anyone is in San Francisco tomorrow for the Crisis Core launch event, let me know! I'll be making my way out there as well. What's looking sw33t to you this week?

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.

@ Hamza: Wait..what? Wasn't it going to be released on 25th? I'm pretty sure about that, and that there would be a Launch Party at Nintendo World Center..hmmm.
Viking is fun, I have a review up! Dark Sector looks meeeh but I'm willing to try it out. Universe at War on the 360 must be the greatest joke of this year: that game is the most micromanagement intensive RTS in years. How the hell are you supposed to play that with a gamepad??
Yea.. ninja gaiden doesnt come out till the 26th. unless Ive missed it. but im pretty sure working at gamestop, I would've noticed it. I can't wait, im picking up ff:cc and ninja gaiden on the same day. (they're both released at the same time, at least at work they are.) now which one to play first? lol
I have Ninja Gaiden DS pre-ordered and await its arrival.
I need both Opoona and Octomania as well. It's hard owning a Wii lately; there are constant releases I'm interested in and the VC keeps calling out to me. I won't know what to do when Wiiware gets started.
I hate that I had to take two unpaid days off work to go be sick, 'cos now I won't be able to buy games and some good looking ones are out this week. :-(
Apparently Shopko got Ninja Gaiden early as I was checking there last thursday and they most definitely had it. If I still had a DS I would have picked it up. As for this week I'm looking forward to viking and dark sector, but they might be rentals I'm thinking.
Crisis Core looks pretty good, even though I'm sick of Square milking franchises. I've been watching Opoona for a while, but reviews are kind of mediocre. I probably won't buy anything since I'm so strapped for play time right now.
Ah, now someone in the US can enjoy trying to find someone to play multiplayer Obscure: Aftermath with, and then fail! Cause I'm the only person in Europe that wants to play it and finding a second player is a never ending quest.
I'm going to finish ffvi advance then pick up crisis core.
I'm no fanboy, but watching the viking trailer directly after the opoona trailer was some sad face.

Not like I'm excited or anything.
Oh well, sorry if I was wrong Hamza.
Also, I'll probably going to get Warriors Orochi.

Yeah, this looks like a good week for you lot. Crisis Core, Opona, Viking and C&C3. Impressive.
On my blog I talk about pretty much all the releases. Except the PC ones.
no money through... :/
I also kind of want FF VII:CC but I don't even own a PSP... yet...
