Michael Jackson Leads Week Of Strange Creatures—Weekly Roundup 4/11
Maybe I'm overreaching here, but it seems as though this week's releases follow a strange sort of pattern. Excluding the release of Michael Jackson: The Experience, of course, most of the games that are hitting stores over the next few days feature bizarre lifeforms of one sort or another. Don't believe me? What the heck are Patapons, anyway? Rabbids are too puffy and aggressive to be confused with rabbits. Dragons? Talking birds? Fantastic freaking pets? Seriously.
Anyway, this is what you're up against this week. If none of these strike your fancy, there's always Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat next week. Carry on.
