New Releases for 07-31-06

A whopping nine different PC games (or expansions, or collections) are coming out this week, and even one Mac title. Maybe it's just my bias speaking, but none of them are worth noting. On the console side, we have a game based on Barnyard and a damned Veggie Tales game. Clearly summer isn't done yet.

There are only two notable titles coming out this week: One is the physics driving (and driver tossing) sequel FlatOut 2 for the Xbox, PS2 and PC. The other is Super Monkey Ball Adventure for the Gamecube, PS2 and PSP, which seems to be getting some pretty tepid reviews thusfar.

Perhaps more anticipated than both of these is a title actually not hitting retail shelves at all. After months of waiting, Street FIghter II' Hyper Fighting finally hits the Xbox Live Marketplace this Wednesday for the price of $10. I'm still annoyed they couldn't be bothered to at least bump it up to Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers for the extra characters, but maybe that's just me.

If you think I'm just a jerk who doesn't respect smaller titles, feel free to go here and check out this week's full release list.
