RPGs of the Week: Cornucopia Edition

Good morning, everyone. Today is Thanksgiving up here in Canada, meaning that I have the whole day off work! Huzzah!

And with a whole lot of RPGs coming out here in North America this week, I think there is a lot to be thankful for this year. Check out what's hitting shelves around the world this week (October 12 - 16, 2009):

North America
Fallout 3 (Game of the Year Edition) - Bethesda - PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Fate: The Traitor Soul - Encore - PC
Half-Minute Hero - Opus, XSEED - PSP
Hero's Saga Laevatein Tactics - GungHo, Aksys - Nintendo DS
Magna Carta II - Softmax, Namco Bandai - Xbox 360

Japan
Okami - Clover, Ready at Dawn, Capcom - Nintendo Wii

Europe
Fallout 3 (Game of the Year Edition) - Bethesda - PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Magna Carta II - Softmax, Namco Bandai - Xbox 360

A few under-the-radar titles are hitting North America this week in the form of the PC action-RPG, Fate: The Traitor Soul, the quirky Half-Minute Hero, and a new SRPG called Laevatein Tactics.

Japan finally gets the Wii port of the absolutely astounding Okami, but not much else.

Finally, last year's big WRPG, Fallout 3, is getting an everything-inclusive perfect edition for all three release platforms in both North America and Europe this week, and Magna Carta II, Namdai's Korean-developed RPG, is finally hitting the 360 here in the West.

I'll definitely be picking up Magna Carta II as soon as I can, and might give Laevatein a spin if I have a chance.

Anything worth it for you this week?
