Games | Weekly Game Releases | Week of Sept. 18, 2007: Welcome to our overhaul! We're getting to that magical time of year where so many games are coming out that no one person can hope to play them all. And in that spirit, we're going to stop giving detailed blurbs on them all. Instead, we'll feature a few, and then hit the rest with a line or so. Onward!
List compiled by reibeatall and Sarcasmorator | Posted September 11, 20XX
Game of the week | Eternal Sonata
![]() |
Taking place in the hours before composer Frédéric Chopin's death of tuberculosis, Eternal Sonata posits that the man spent his last moments in a delirious dream state in which he travels a world where people with terminal diseases have great powers. Which is, uh, weird, but GOOD weird, we think. And hey, it's an RPG for the Xbox 360! If Blue Dragon's thrashy boss fight music isn't your thing, how 'bout something more romantic? |

Cosmic Family - Wii -- An early learning program for little baby children.
Interactive Storybook DS Series 1 -- It's like a storybook, only on your DS. And it's interactive!

Weekly WTF? | ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
![]() |
Nothing this week really inspires that "What the F?!" reaction we need for the Weekly WTF. So, there is none. Come on, gaming industry! Give us something weird. |
And that wraps it up for this week's edition. Tune in next week for Halo 3, same Halo time, same Halo station. Because you know nothing else matters.
Waiting for Halo next week or are you getting Juiced 2 for your DS? Let us know!
