RPGs of the Week: Too Human Edition

Another week, another set of RPGs for mass consumption. Take a gander at the list below to find out what RPGs are shipping to a retailer near you this week (August 18-23, 2008).

Spoiler: Nothing for Europe this week.

North America
Too Human - Silicon Knights, Microsoft - Xbox 360
Two Worlds: Epic Edition - Reality Pump, SouthPeak - PC

Japan
Haruanaru Toki no Naka de: Yume no Ukihashi - Koei - Nintendo DS
Inazuma Eleven - Level 5 - Nintendo DS
Sigma Harmonics - Square Enix - Nintendo DS

Europe
(None)

With something like 100 years of development behind it, this is make it or break it week for Silicon Knights' Xbox 360 hack-n-slash dungeon crawler, Too Human, as you can expect the reviews to start rolling in within the next couple of days. For how long its taken them, I certainly hope things work out for them. Unfortunately, for games steeped in controversy, as Too Human certainly has been, things will inevitably be a bit rocky.

Japan nabs themselves Square Enix's Sigma Harmonics and Level 5's soccer RPG Inazuma Eleven. Though Square Enix has been hyping Sigma Harmonics in Japan for a while now, I still have no idea what the game is supposed to be about, though I think some of the art is cool. Inazuma Eleven, on the other hand, looks like all kinds of cool, and will be a definite pick up for me.

Really, though, I'm just killing time 'til Tales of Vesperia next week. ;)

Anything looking sweet to you this week?
