Today is the beginning of the week and as the QJ staff struggle to fit through the office door after a long weekend you, our faithful readers and gamers get to come home to a wealth of releases this week. This week we can see some big titles coming to the PSP, Nintendo DS and the original Xbox, but as a slight disappointment to owners of Microsoft's next generation console there will be no Xbox 360 releases this week.

If you find yourself very bored with no new X360 releases this week you may just have to brave it and buy a portable game to satisfy your needs and with plenty of PSP and DS titles hitting the shelves this week you'll be spoilt for choice. Or maybe an Xbox title takes your fancy? Don't worry next generation console fans, with the Wii and the PS3 well on their way it won't be that long until we'll see three next generation consoles on this list! We'll stop teasing you now, here's the cross-console release list for week beginning Monday October 9.

Well, they don't look all that different from this size, but those are pictures from both the PSP and DS versions of Avatar: The Last Airbender, respectively. While we have been talking about the upcoming adventures of Aang and company for the Wii, this is the first we've seen of the game in a handheld form.

Of course, they're able to bend stuff. It's probably a simple matter for them to magically port their universe onto the PSP and DS.

Now, there isn't much information available for these two versions of the game but they both look more like adventure games than RPGs, and there's a good chance you can play as one of the main characters of your choice since that's an option for you in the Wii version.

Look out for more information here as we get it, and enjoy the pictures after the jump.
