Retail Roundup: October 29, 2009

Fighting game hairstyles defy logic.

B

ig hair? Check. Incomprehensible plot? Check. Dude with a leopard's head? You'd better believe it. This is Tekken 6, folks, and despite all the aforementioned insanity, it still features one of the most polished and instinctive fighting engines to be found on consoles. While you may not be able to rattle off every member of the game's immense roster, you'll still be enjoying a certain satisfaction each time you discover a new combo move. Check out Namco's latest on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time picks up where the last two PlayStation 3 titles left off. Insomniac's taken this franchise through a number of twists and turns over the years, but recent releases indicate a return to the basics. Expect action, great 3-D platforming and a witty script: everything Ratchet & Clank fans have grown to love.

Forza Motorsport 3 fills the same niche as its predecessors: it's a simulation for fans of driving games rather than a game for sim fans. Expect plenty of realistic physics, lush graphics and licensed automobiles, but don't be surprised by the game's accessibility. The Xbox's answer to Gran Turismo keeps firing away.
