[New releases is your weekly look at all the hot new titles coming out this week.]
Every week until April, there's going to be at least one major new game released. Starting this week, each of the main consoles are getting exclusives. On the Wii we got No More Heroes 2: Desperate StruggleandTatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. One is a game about being the best there ever was and the other is the ultimate fighting match up since Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
On the Xbox 360 and PC, BioWare's Mass Effect 2 hits. It looks like it's going to offer players a lot more including lots more sexy time with the ladies.
And on the PlayStation 3 front, we're getting the 256 player FPS MAG.
All in all, it's a good week for all gamers. What's looking sw33t to you? Hit the break to see trailers for these major releases.

I feel like the only one not excited for ME2. The only one on that list im kind of looking forward to is MAG. Then the next game I buy will most likely be Red Dead Redemption. I have not even gotten into Demon's Souls yet...
This is one hell of a week. I ache for NMH2 and ME2, and now after reading Jim's review, MAG sounds good. I'd also like TvC. This is a bad week to not have moneys. :(
No More Heroes TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am really really really excited.
The first one was probably the funniest game I've ever played aside from Snatcher. And it was just great fun to boot. Cannot wait.
can't afford Tatsunoko vs Capcom right now, No More Heroes 2 will be released in February or March here in Europe and I haven't even gotten halfway through Mass Effect.
I won't be buying too much this week, unfortunately.
No more heroes 2 game of the week! next month will be hard to decide white knight chronicles, star ocean international, hard rain, dante's inferno(zomg it's so VISCERAL) and bioshock 2. I'm leaning towards white knight though
Also, tomorrow or the day after, I should have my copy of Mass Effect 2 delivered to me.
I don't know which one I'll go through first. I might want to beat ME2 for the story first, just so I can decide if my concerns are valid or not. But I'm definitely buying No More Heroes 2 tomorrow so I can support that beauty right out of the gate.
AND FERK. I wanna buy TvsC this week too. Definitely need to send the message that we want more of that on the Wii.
I like how all the games got pushed back and now there's about 10 games coming out in two months I'd consider buying, but I don't have the money because it's not the holidays anymore.
I'm buying Mass Effect 2 (against my better judgment), sure, but I probably would have bought TvC and NMH2 if, y'know, they were released before the holidays, and I still had money. But, alas, apparently it's better to release in a crowded non-Christmas season than a crowded Christmas season.
I'm getting Mass Effect 2, and that's all I'll want to play for a while. Which is lucky, because I traded in my copies of Bayonetta and Dragon Age in order to get it.
"Every day until April, there's going to be at least one major new game released."
Oh, why hello 2009 I didn't recognize you. Looking forward to Mag and NMH2. Don't have 360 but will probably pick up ME2 later this year on PC.
I have the credit ready for ME2 tomorrow. I traded in Dragon Age (Beat 3 times with each class so I was starting to get bored of it) and some DVDs to get it. Oh how I can not wait to pick it up in the morning. :D

This guy.
Also, picking up my ME2 w/ Terminus gear (BLACKHOLE GUN, WON"T YOU COME) tomorrow.
I am really really really excited.

Anyways my copy of ME2 is currently on it's way. It's in Kentucky last I checked. Delivery date 1/26.
Happy Birthday Eve to me.
Also, Tubatic's little Black Hole Sun reference made my day. Too bad GameStop ran out of CE preorders. :/

STFU! Douche:) I feel better now.
NMH2 will have to wait a bit, sadly.
I just hope I can find the time to play it.
i think it would be wiser to inform yourself before commenting
