Retail Roundup: August 20, 2008

This is how Dyack's spent the last decade.

A

ll told, this doesn't look to be an entirely bad week for video game shoppers. Ten years after it was first announced, Silicon Knight's space opera Too Human arrives on the Xbox 360 — whether the game lives up to all of Denis Dyack's hype remains to be seen, but the demo that appeared on the Live Marketplace about a month ago at least showed some promise. On the PlayStation 3, platform fans will be able to download Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty, a mini-sequel to last year's Tools of Destruction. Meanwhile, PC gamers receive the spacefaring strategy title Shattered Suns and a repackaging of last year's Two Worlds which includes a pair of expansion packs. Retro gamers shouldn't feel left out either: with Mega Man hitting the Wii's Virtual Console and Galaga Legions remixing a classic on the Xbox Live Arcade, score junkies have reason to stay up till the wee hours. As summer winds down, it's nice to see that our favorite industry is once again heating up.
