RPGs of the Week: PC Power Edition

Everyone's favourite non-holiday, Halloween, is almost upon us. Celebrating that (I think), a lot of publishers have decided to drop new titles into the market here in North America.

Check out what RPGs are hitting shelves this week (October 26 - 31, 2009):

North America
Alganon – Quest Online – PC
Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island – Gust, NIS America – Nintendo DS
Borderlands – Gearbox, 2K – PC
Fort Zombie – Kerberos, Paradox – PC
King’s Bounty: Armored Princess – Katauri, 1C – PC
League of Legends: Clash of Fates – Riot, THQ – PC
Torchlight – Runic, Perfect World – PC
Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement – Konami – XBLA, PSN

Japan
Akumajou Dracula: Sougetsu no Juujika (Dendou Selection) – Konami – Nintendo DS
Akumajou Dracula: The Adventure ReBirth – Konami - WVC
Elminage II: Sousei no Megami to Unmei no Daichi – Starfish SD – PSP
Final Fantasy Gaiden: Hikari no 4 Senshi – Matrix, Square Enix – Nintendo DS
Super Robot Taisen NEO – Banpresto, Namco Bandai – Nintendo Wii

Europe
Agarest: Generations of War – Compile Heart, Midas – PlayStation 3

North America easily has the biggest selection this week with two MMOs, two PC RPGs, Borderlands PC version, Atelier Annie for DS, and the malformed (rather than glorious) return of Vandal Hearts on XBLA and PSN.

Japan gets two re-releases of old Castlevania games, Elminage II for PSP, yet another Super Robot Taisen game, and Matrix's latest bobble-head Final Fantasy DS game. Yay?

Europe bags the dating-sim/SPRG hybrid Agarest Senki.

Anything look worth your cash this week?
