On Shelves This Week - Image 1


The period spanning releases dated August 6 to 12 for the U.S. carries quite an interesting crop with some nice variety. Bannering this edition of On Shelves This Week is the party game Boogie for the Nintendo Wii which will have casual gamers bopping 'til they drop. Still at the Nintendo yard, Mega Man's trifecta of RPGs are coming in with some cool attributes all their own.

On Shelves This Week: Boogie - Image 1 The PlayStation Portable will have a couple of frantic titles from popular franchises that will have you pushing the pedal to the floor and storming caves in search of treasures. Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars and Tomb Raider: Anniversary are out! For more strategic gamers, Combat Mission for the PC is out now. Anyhow, let's get this line-up introduced, shall we?

Attack on Pearl Harbor. Always wanted to see action as a Japanese Kamikaze pilot? Maybe you'd rather defend Pearl Harbor as an American airman? You can do either in this PC simulation which relives America's formal entry to the second World War. Attack on Pearl Harbor should please all aviation enthusiasts looking for a bit of retro action.
Boogie. The Nintendo Wii is about to get its groove on once more as Boogie is about to go to town. Headlined by such classic acts as The Jackson Five and Jamiroquai, you can now practice your moonwalkin', crotch-grabbing moves like Michael Jackson in Never Neverland.

Saying Boogie is a clone of SingStar, which is pretty much true. Then again, GH is a clone of DDR, so what ever.

If you've played GH you would know that it's not a DDR clone.
