Can you hear it? This week, the games are calling you to arms! Whether you’d rather pick up something state-of-the-art from Activision‘s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, swords and spears from Nintendo’s Fire Emblem: Dawn, light sabers and blasters from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, or even household items from Silent Hill: Origins, there’s definitely something to recruit you away from last week‘s releases.

If leading armies into war is your thing, have a look at Koei‘s Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War or Sierra Entertainment’s Empire Earth III. For lighthearted fun, Sega and Nintendo are offering Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and Square Enix has Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. You get the drill – this week is big, and November is just beginning.
