My must own game for this week is Left 4 Dead. Anything with zombies in it is an instant win in my book. The game is a ton of fun and I can't wait to play some co-op with you all.
I may end up picking up Mortal Kombat vs DC and Tomb Raider Underworld this week as well. I really just want MK vs DC for the goofy story line and not for much else. Tomb Raider Underworld is also looking might hot and it's great to see my first videogame crush come back in such excellent form.
Special notes for this week: The brand new 160GB PS3 with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is out and the first motion sensing game for the DS, Tony Hawk's Motion, is out this week too.
Hit the jump to check out the full releases with videos for most of the games. What's looking sw33t to you?

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.

It really speaks to my character when I have the urge to pick up MKvsDc on impulse while I (regrettably) didn't act on my Gears of War Midnight Release + schwag impulse.
Left 4 Dead is getting a sure purchase from me this week, along with the Dead Kennedy's pack for Rock Band.
Getting Left 4 Dead and Banjo Nuts & Bolts this week. Dead Kennedys pack will be purchased later. Not getting anything else until Christmas due to lack of funds.
I'll be getting Luminous Arc 2(because I'm a sucker for art books), Last Remnant($40 deal at Amazon made me ok with it), and I'll be looking at Metal Slug 7. I want to play it, but I've heard rumors that the game suffers from HORRIBLE slowdown, which is lethal in Metal Slug.
Oh thank Christ this is the last week of dumping several big releases for the year. I don't think my checkbook could have taken another financial raping.
Anyway, already picked up MK vs DCU. Gonna pick up Left 4 Dead as well. Would like to pick up Shawn White, Naruto:The Broken Bond, Last Remnant and Castlevania Judgment but those will have to wait until after X-Mas.
Finally getting a break this week, the pocket book needs it. L4D didnt do it for me so that's off the list. I will eventually have to buy animal crossing for the old dusty wii, but not until xmas, as it will be one of the gifts i give my gf. Of course I'll wind up playing it at some point - guilty pleasure. But yeah, I'm actually happy to have a slow week for a change.
I'm thinking NFS:UC will be good, but I'm not going to pick it up for a while. Nuts & Bolts and L4D will have to keep me happy. Pretty sure I'll be ok.
MK vs DCU is glitched! I was playing through the story mode and it didn't give me some of the story achievements, but I at least got the complete story mode achievement.

Also, Also, L4D FTW.
I thought MKVSDC came out last week since Targets been selling it since then, come to think of it so was sonic unleashed
"The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff"
Sounds like they are getting lazy with their titles.
straight up called it, NOT IT!
who's gonna be the sucker?
Picked this up... and gotta say I'm enjoying it a lot.
So, are we going to set up a Steam Community thing for Destructoid? Or just exchange Steam ID's?
RoninZero777 for me
Unfortunately, I lack funds at all, so I probably won't get them until this time next year.
Looking forward to L4D :)
