The video game release list of 5/23-5/29

Dirt 3 screeches across the starting line, followed hotly by Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale, and Dead or Alive Dimensions. Duke Nukem: Critical Mass also finally limps out, though critics have been less than fond of it. The only review you need to see there is Duke's own.

It wouldn't be surprising if the console edition of Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale also launches next week, as even though Atari is playing it bafflingly coy with release dates, it'd be unusual for a PC version to come out first. No publisher likes PC gamers that much nowadays.
