Easily the biggest release this week is Madden 09. It's out this Tuesday, but don't be surprised if you go to your local store and find that you're able to pick it up early (like at my store!).
Bionic CommandoRearmed is also out this week and I might be giving that a GO! GO! GO! Strong Bad looks fun but I don't own a Wii and it's been so long since I've watched anything on HomeStarRunner. Oh hey! A new Teen Girl Squad! 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.

sad thing about the madden video is that all the footage is from replays. Those look the best with the up close angles and plays, but its really still an isometric game played from 50 ft behind your quarterback.
Bangai-O is a must. I own every other version of the game and love them. I'm looking forward to the level designer and the Bangai-O's new moves. Bionic Commando: Rearmed is also must-get.

@The-Excel hidden homestar humor ftw.
Love the marketing, hate the sameness.
