What's better than a ninja cutting enemies down in size with an assortment of weapons and blood spewing all over the place? Nothing, actually. Ninja Gaiden II is out this week and is easily my number one pick. Check out our review of the game if you're wondering about how it is.
There's also plenty of movie tie-in games out this week. Among them is The Bourne Conspiracy game, which is really awesome. I saw a preview of the game not too long ago and left impressed with what they were doing with the title.
What's look sw33t to you?

I was bored so I downloaded the Bourne demo (PS3) and I thought it was going to be pure shit. After playing the surprisingly long demo I can say that it was one of the best demo's I have ever played and I just might be picking it up as it was something different and it was executed in a fun manner.
After watching the videos The Incredible Hulk looks like it could be a fun romp and Indiana Jones looks to be fun but the voice acting (noises?) sounds awful.
What didn't you like about it? I mean, I'm renting it because I'm sure it won't be fun beyond the typical "Hey this is pretty cool for a day" as most games in that vein are.
It sounds like you think it's not even at that level...
Sigh...no NG2 for us PS3 owners, hopefully its really damn good so they no choice but to release a NG2 Sigma ha ha ha
and BF Bad Company Demo is keeping me busy this week.
After the unintentional hilarity of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull("Their knowledge was their treasure." *shudder*),what could be better than the intentional hilarity of Lego-Nazi-face-melting?
I need to stop watching ninja gaiden trailers, i think my heads gonna explode. Also, the lady pillow physics have been taken to a whole new level. lady pillows FTW.

The game is pretty basic, the game mechanic is that you jump around, and do simple missions, trust me this game is another spiderman 3 with less quality

Good week for me. :D
Also, Aces. DO IT.
The demo was very enjoyable. It's pretty, controls well, and gets the basic action done competently.
I want to try out the party games included though.
Also, that Gamestop exclusive game, Chaos Wars, is supposed to be out this week. I'll be getting that too, because SHADOW HEARTS.
NG2 is fucking win. Bourne is the best rental since Stranglehold/Viking.

At least I prepaid MGS4, so I'm good for the summer.
