Wow, this week is pretty much dead. No surprise really though, seeing how this week is all about E3.Project Sylpheed (X360) easily looks like the best game of the bunch. I was surprised to see that this is a Square Enix game.
What's looking sw33t to you this week?
WVC: Mach Rider, Yoshi, Air Zonk X360: Project Sylpheed PSP: Smash Court Tennis 3 PC: Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
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.

Sylpheed's been out in the UK for over a week now I believe. I was tempted as Hell, but it's by Square-Enix and it's not a Final Fantasy game, so it probably sucks.
I bought Sylpheed along with Flatout: UC last week. Aint even opened them yet as I'm ridiculously addicted to Samurai Warriors 2... 30 odd hours logged and only halfway through lol.
@Jim - I think this game is just being marketed in the US but didn't actually make it... I could be wrong. If they did make it then it probably does suck.
I watched my brother play the Sylpheed demo about a week ago... it looked pretty but when I actually played it myself it felt like it was missing a thing or two. Couldn't put my finger on it though...
I tried GE beta two weeks ago... I can't believe how butchered the english language was in it. I really don't think that will all be fixed for the release.
I think Sylpheed would be sweet with the flight stick coming out for the new Ace Combat. If they're compatible, this game will rule my life in a way X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter previously destroyed it.

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Also, Smash Court on PS2 was a pretty decent tennis game.
There's still a half dozen DS titles vying for my wallet anyway. And Super Robot Taisen 2, whenever I actually remember to look for it...
