RPGs of the Week: Another You Edition

(Whew) Sorry this update is a day late. I've been out of town for the past few days on business.

Well, Christmas is closing in, so if you're looking for a new RPG this year, your time is starting to run out. There are, however, a couple of releases this week (December 08 - 12, 2008) that may interest you. Check them out below:

North America
Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War - Global A, UFO - PSP
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 - Atlus - PlayStation 2

Japan
Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon: Majo to Shoujo to 5-nin no Yuusha - Square Enix - Nintendo DS
Zwei!! - Falcom - PSP

Europe
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness - Marvelous, Rising Star - Ninendo DS

The biggest release this week is undesputably Atlus' highly anticipated Persona 4, with the obligatory "Shin Megami Tensei" brand tacked on for the North American release.

North America also lands Dungeon Maker II courtesy of UFO (I didn't know there was a Dungeon Maker 1!).

Japan gets another DS Chocobo spin-off and the PSP port of Falcom's Zwei!!.

Europe will have to make do with farming on the Island of Happiness this week.

My copy of Persona 4 should arrive in the mail sometime this week, but I won't be playing it for a while as it's my Christmas present to myself. Yes, I'm really going to wrap it and put it under the tree.

What's looking sweet to you this week?
