It's Monday, which means back to work/school/responsibility. It also means it's time for new RPG releases! Take the bad with the good, I guess.Take a look at what RPGs are hitting shelves around the world this week (June 22 - 26, 2009):
North America
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite – Capcom – PSP
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor – Atlus – Nintendo DS
Overlord II – Triumph, Codemasters – Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
Overlord: Dark Legend – Climax, Codemasters – Nintendo Wii
Japan
Agarest Senki Zero – Idea Factory, RED Entertainment, Compile Heart – PlayStation 3
Ken to Mahou to Gakuen Mono. 2 – Zero Div, Acquire – PSP
Rorona no Atelier: Arland no Renkinjutsushi – Gust – PlayStation 3
Valhalla Knights 2: Battle Stance – K2, Marvelous – PSP
Europe
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite – Capcom – PSP
Overlord II – Triumph, Codemasters – Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
Overlord: Dark Legend – Climax, Codemasters – Nintendo Wii
Tales of Vesperia – Namco Bandai, Atari – Xbox 360
Valhalla Knights 2 – K2, Rising Star – PSP
Not a bad showing, I would say. Also, a surprising number of near-simultaneous North America/Europe releases, including Overlord II and Overlord: Dark Legend, and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (which is kind of a lame name, imo).
North America also gets Atlus' first DS MegaTen iteration with Devil Survivor (which I rather enjoyed earlier this year).
Meanwhile Europe snags Valhalla Knights 2, and finally gets Tales of Vesperia, a game that I like very much.
Japan gets a plethora of new titles this week with Atelier Rorona and Agarest Senki Zero for the PS3, and two fairly obscure sequel/spin-offs for the PSP.
Anything looking worth your cash this week?

anyone ever play overlord? any good?
I played the original a little bit. It's interesting, especially if you always wanted to play as the villain.
It involves a lot of puzzles with how to use your minions to get objectives completed.
From what I hear, the sequel does pretty well everything better. I haven't heard much about the Wii title though.
