RPGs of the Week: Painted Steel Edition

Hello, and welcome to another RPG-filled week!

...Well, so "filled" might be a little bit of an exaggeration. But there are games coming out this week, just not as many as you might like.

Check out what's hitting stores around the world this week (April 6 - 10, 2009):

North America
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix - Infinite Interactive, D3 - XBLA

Japan
Ken to Mahou to Gakuen Mono. (The Best) - Zerodiv, Acquire - PSP
Oboro Muramasa - Vanillaware, Marvelous - Nintendo Wii

Europe
AWAY: Shuffle Dungeon - Mistwalker, Artoon, Majesco - Nintendo DS

Like I said, not exactly "filled" per se, but some stuff spread out for everyone.

North Americans can download the newest Puzzle Quest from Xbox Live Arcade this week in case they chose to skip the DS version.

Japan gets a cheap reprint of Class of Heroes, and Vanillaware's incredible-looking Oboro Muramasa for Wii.

Europe bags Mistwalker and Artoon's AWAY, which puts a bit of a different twist on the action-RPG genre.

Oboro Muramasa is hands-down the best-looking title this week (not like it has much competition, but still), and provides a compelling argument for the survival of 2D graphics, and proves that the Wii isn't always just for your grandparents and your non-gamer girlfriend. ...Just mostly. :P

Anything looking worth it to you this week?
