Another slow week, but there are a couple of gems in this batch of releases at least. Most notable is Arcana Heart for the PS2. The fighting tech looks fresh and fun.
Other than that, the Orange Box is finally getting broken down this week for PC owners and there's going to be a giant Yard Sale coming up for Ikaruga. What's looking sw33t to you?
WVC: Bases Loaded, Yoshi's Cookie XBLA: Ikaruga Wii: Summer Sports: Paradise Island, MiniCopter: Adventure Flight, Baroque PC: Sam & Max Episode 205, Overclocked: A History of Violence, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Assassin's Creed PS2: Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2, World Championship Cards, Arcana Heart, Baroque DS: Fab 5 Soccer Also: Separate OFFICIAL Guitar Controllers for Guitar Hero (PS2) and Rock Band (PS3/X360) are out 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.

I'll definitely be picking up Ikaruga. Baroque interests me, but I've heard bad things. Sam & Max is always a winner. On the adventure front, Overclocked: A History of Violence could be cool, but I'm going to wait for some reviews. As a Fatal Fury fan, I'd probably grab Battle Archives if I still played my PS2.
It's ALL ABOUT BAROQUE for me, Baby! Gamestop is even claiming it will be in tomorrow (how often are games out ON their release date short of major events like SSBB or Halo 3?).

THE YARD SALE RETUNRS :)
Getting me some points for Ikaruga.
They say it's the new fad!
And also checkin out Overclocked for some psychotherapy
Got no 360! Yet...
Arcana Heart seems like it needs a arcade stick... I hate controllers.
I've thinking of buying a Hori Stick but I don't think AH will be the game to help me finally get one.
