Borderlands Meets Charm Club — Weekly Round Up 10/19

This week sees the release of some highly anticipated games. Borderlands hits retail tomorrow, as does the revamped PSP version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. FIFA Soccer 2010 also makes its stateside debut, along with Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop, Bakugan, Lips #1 Hits and Marvel Super Hero Squad. If that’s not enough, four new additions to the Littlest Pet Shop franchise are joined by an equal number of Charm Girls Club titles. Exciting stuff. Those should keep you busy for some time. Personally, we’re looking forward to nabbing the Rock Band "Queen Pack."
