Retail Roundup: November 12, 2008

DICE retools the shooting genre with Mirror's Edge.

H

ow many times do I have to tell you people? Call of Duty: World at War is not a direct clone of Call of Duty 4. Sure, it utilizes the same graphics engine, multiplayer mechanics and multifaceted campaign structure, but other than that, it's completely different. Good job, Treyarch.

I've been watching the gameplay videos on YouTube for months. Now we'll all finally get to see if Mirror's Edge is as revolutionary a shooter as its developers have been saying. Well, even if the game blows, I've at least got myself a cool new bag.

Azeroth gets a little bit bigger this week with the release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. A new class, profession and numerous dungeons await the faithful.

Microsoft may downplay how important they are to the Xbox's strategy, but Rare continues to make games. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts adds vehicles and a complex building system to the already beloved platformer.
