He he, I suspect it will also be 'No games released', well, no decent games released anyway

Just Puyo Pop Fever, whatever that is!

GameFAQs has

The Da Vinci Code
Urban Chaos: Riot Response
X-Men: The Official Game
For PS2 and XBox

X-Men: The Official Game
For ALL other formats

It's not always the most accurate though, but I've checked with Amazon.co.uk and these seem to be listed for the 19th.

Still, a rather poor week.

Do you mean;
The Da Vinci Code
Urban Chaos: Riot Response
X-Men: The Official Game

are all on both formats?

Da Vinci and UC are both on both Xbox and PS2

X-Men is on all of Xbox, PS2, DS, GC, GBA, 360 and PC

On PSP I just noticed there's:
Metal Gear Acid 2
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim
as I was looking at the white ones that came out last week.

Fuck me, Puyo Pop Fever, you MUST buy this game.

It was ace on the Gamecube, and would be truly awesome on the

Really?! It looks just like another puzzle game to me but then I don't really like puzzle games. Polarium on the DS, what a bunch of arse!

Looks like a thinly-disguised Tetris. I had Columns on the GameGear and MegaCD. Hated it then, too.

Edit: Actually that probably means my sister will love it, but it's probably a bit too similar to Lumines

Yep it's just another Puzzle game, but the PSP needs one, as frankly there aren't enough, which is stupid for a handheld, as puzzle games work best on them.

It is rather good though, and I just ordered mine from Play.com for £15, which is dead cheap

Have you investigated 'Exit'? You might like it, although I've seen mixed reviews.

Investigated, and decided it looked a bit crap

Also, I'm looking forward to the floorware version of Alien Hominid

By the way Puyo Pop fever is great multiplayer, but the lack of many single player gametypes might stop you going back to play the game.

I'll still play it from time to time, but it's not nothing to shout about.
I'd write a review but I don't have the time at the moment.
