This week is pretty dry as far as new releases go. Wolfenstein looks like it will be a pretty good mindless shooter. Plus, killing Nazis is always fun, even though we've been killing them since the '80s in videogames.
I keep hearing nothing but great things for Shadow Complex too. I'll definitely be checking that one out at some point.
What's looking sw33t to you all, Dtoiders? Hit the break for the full releases and trailers for most of the games.

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.

Shadow Complex is my will-get this week. I'm not a fan of the kind of game, but the hella ton of good reviews has me interested, and with 1200 MS Points left over from my last binge, what else will I get? An overpriced Splinter Cell outfit? Crimson Skies?
...Seriously, both of those have been criss-crossing my mind for this week.
I was totally going to get Shadow Complex, until I made the mistake of watching the developer diary on XBL. After finding out that that vicious little homophobe Orson Scott Card was involved with the game, I don't think I can bring myself to send any money his way. It does look fantastic though :(
isn't Smash Cars coming out on PSN this week?... don't know why that stuck in my head because I don't really have an interest in the game.
For me, nothing this week... I'll try to play some of my older games while I can and before the cornucopia of gaming delights releases this fall! :)
Spectrobes actually looks a lot better than I thought it would. Still, there's nothing for me this week. I plan on waiting on any XBLA titles until Target does another $20 points card for $15 sale so I can stock up again. I'll probably rent Wolfenstein and Spectrobes at some point.
Very excited for Shadow Complex. I MIGHT get Wolfenstein. Waiting on some reviews. I'm just desperate to stock up on games before my surgery on friday. I must cram as much excitement and fun within the next few days as humanly possible.
Cursed Mountain was supposed to hit this week, but now it looks like it may have gotten pushed back to next. I'm keeping an eye on it in any case. Between that and Silent Hill, the Wii may get some nice survival horror titles this year.
Those six legged tanks in Shadow Complex look like the heavy duty think-tanks from GITS. I am interested in Shadow Complex but will probably wait a bit before purchase.
I've chucked up a shadow complex gameplay preview video. Lets you see the first 10 minutes and hear me talking rubbish over it. http://blog.paulietheboss.com/?p=204
