On Shelves This Week from August 27 to September 2, 2007


Debuting this week is Medal of Honor: Airborne, and as fate would have it, a couple of other war games - even some World War II themed ones like Hearts of Iron - are joining it on the shelves. Stranglehold is also hitting the market for the Xbox 360 and the PC, with the Sony PS3 version coming later this month.

Medal of Honor: Airborne - Image 1Another game wriggling its way to the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP this week is Worms: Open Warfare 2. The worms are back with their rocket launchers and grenades ready to do some serious squishy damage.

Medal of Honor: Airborne. Step into the shoes of Boyd Travers, a soldier in the 17th Airborne Division in this first person shooter game set in World War II. You can choose from a wide and authentic range of weaponry as you sent in mission from France to Germany.
Stranglehold. Chow Yun Fat reprises his role as Inspector "Tequila" Yuen in this third-person shooter from director John Woo. The game features an environment where you can destroy almost anything you can see (and shoot.) Battle with the Triad and the Mafia in slow motion with "Tequila Time."
Worms: Open Warfare 2. The worms are back and they're coming complete with online capabilities for the DS and the PSP. Go to war with the worms in six different scenarios. The PSP version will have downloadable maps as well.
