The video game release list of 3/21-3/27

Nintendo's new handheld, the 3DS, launches next week. It's out in Europe on Friday, March 25, then in North America on Sunday, March 27. A number of games will be available from March 22, though, so you can stock up beforehand. Here's what your $249.99 will get you.

It'd be a good week for video games even without the 3DS, with new releases including Crysis 2, the long-awaited PC edition of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the intriguing new fantasy Sims game, Hothead's Swarm, LEGO Star Wars III: The Clones Wars, Dissidia 012[duodecim] Final Fantasy and oh so many more.

      It sort of sounded like it might be a bit different than that from their announcement: http://www.shacknews.com/article/64983/the-sims-goes-medieval-in

      More like farming all season, then paying almost everything to your lord and then living in poverty, hunger and misery.

        Exploiting workers and hanging on to an outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in the sims society.

    I was asking this yesterday and got no answers. I guess I'll wait on reviews, but I'd kill for a demo.

  Hmm, Tomb Raider Trilogy is temping me. I never finished TR: Anniversary on the 360 because it had really shitty framerates; the PS3 version apparently runs smoother.
