In Stores This Week Around The World

Richard Walker

There's not exactly a whole lot to write home about this week, with each region around the world getting two new games to choose from, including the release of the third Call of Juarez in western territories, as The Cartel launches, transporting the series into the modern day with automatic weaponry, swears and drugs.

Meanwhile, Australia gets to experience the simple joys of EDF: Insect Armageddon, North America gets Captain America: Super Soldier and Europe gets to check out Cars 2, which involves being a spy, but as a car, or something to that effect.

Finally, Japan gets FEAR 3 and Alice: Madness Returns, a good few weeks after they've launched pretty much everywhere else. And that about wraps it up for this week. Check out what's on offer:

  • Alice: Madness Returns

  • nothing amazing more pennys going towards saving up for a capture card I think :D.
  • I enjoyed Bound In blood but I don't like look of new one, isn't EDF out in uk this week
  • might rent the cartel to see if its any good
  • Nothing for me until (Dead Island) and (Gears of War 3) hurry up already september! :)
  • So.... is EDF not coming out in Europe then? Because my pre-order from Play.com still says 22/07/11.
  • Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood was cool, but The Cartel seems to have a lot of glitchs, i'll pass this week
  • whats edf
  • Earth Defense Force - you have to kill loads of giant bugs :D
  • earth defense force
  • Look forward to Call of Juarez: The Cartel, Cars 2 and Earth Force Defense: Insect Armageddon. Xbox360achievements.org you forget add EDF: I.A. for Europe release this friday. I already preordered all 3 games from game.co.uk :D
  • Call of Juarez isnt any good compared to the 1st and 2nd one.Its really hard to aim and the graphics .....dont even speak about it. 4 me a total fail.Lookin foreward to Insect Armageddon. Coop Bug Slayin..yeah !
  • oh and i forgot the new setting 4 Juarez sucks, i want old school wild west feeling,but not this...
  • TEAM captain AMERICA! F YEAH!
  • Insect armageddon comes out on the 22nd too.
  • Call of Juarez: The Cartel - has been very very very rushed multiplayer has already been hacked to death getting killed from people in the sky dont bother buying it save your money RENT if you wan play it
  • Sorry for double post - Capatain america is awesome has batman feel to it very impressed
  • Still nothing for me, thinking about getting Dead Island in September but other then that nothing until Gears of War 3.
  • Nothing for me the rest of this month or the first half of August. For me i am all about Deus Ex: Human Revolution & Madden NFL 12 at the end of August 23 & 30 (US) to be exact. Can't wait I wish it would hurry up and get here no only that be it well finally mean it almost time for the kids to go back to school witch means less whiney kids on Live or PSN during the day and that makes me very happy.
  • I'm looking forward to COJ The Cartel! :D
  • My money is safe again. I suppose that's a good thing considering how much I'll be spending from Sept to November.
  • I love the COJ series too bad the previews have been less then stellar with buggy and unpolished gameplay and mechanics. The C team must have been working on this game while everyone else is working on Dead Island
  • Deus Ex and Dead Island enough said!...... and of course the 3 major titles following.
  • V disappointed with the new direction for Call of Juarez.....luckily there isn't much over summer, just From Dust, Deus Ex and Tropico 4 for me :P And then Autumn arrives.....and I start to spend a serious amount of money :/
  • Curious on The Cartel, but that one will have to wait until I find it cheap and clear the backlog. Nothing else this summer really floats me until Deus Ex is released.
  • nothing good till november 15 saints row three assassins creed revalations and combat evolved my opinion
  • No reason to be surprised about Call of Juarez. Every single one they've made so far has sucked. If you want the wild west feeling, John Marston is waiting for you.
  • ummm nothing... I'm going to watch harry potter this week...
  • wow not good not a single game worth looking at well i suppose i better get the Disney games to start whoring
  • Finally, Techland can actually concentrate on a their better game. (Dead Island) Can't wait to hear news on it and really can't wait for the demo to be put out.
  • Your wallets are safe until August/September. I have been very dissapointed with most releases this summmer. Lego Pirates is the only one that stayed in my collection. Lets hope Deus Ex is not Alpha Protocol all over agian. I was lucky enough to get full return on that game : )
  • Cars 2 was already available in Europe last week... Anyway, will be waiting untill September for the GOW 3 goodness :)
  • Number 24 said it best.
  • Guess I'll be saving my money again. Gives me more time to catch with older and better games before Dues Ex and GoW come out:-)
