on the shelves

* Assassin's Creed (The W at Amazon) [stats] - aka that video game commercial that uses the music from House. There seems to be more of a variance than usual on reviews for this one. 1UP says the game gets repetitive and holds back a decent ending to set up a sequal, while gamespot is blown away by visual details. Note this game actually has better frame rate on PS3 than XBOX360.

* Beowulf: The Game [stats] - aka the only other commercial that was airing during TUF this week. I would not advise playing the game to use as your book report, because it's farther from the plot than even the movie. Actually, I hope this does great and starts a trend of High School Lit standards as video games. The world needs to play as Tom Joad. Hopefully that wouldn't suck as much as this game apparently does: "Ubisoft Shanghai and Tiwak did a magnificent job of butchering the reimagining of a classic tale and providing plenty of disposable, derivative gameplay to go along with it." (ign)

* Kane and Lynch: Dead Men [stats] - sadly, not THAT Kane. Third person shooter with a great story and characters (and many four letter words), but the game play doesn't keep up. There are some parts that are quite fun, and points that are immensely frustrating.

* WWE Smackdown vs RAW [stats] - yes, that Kane! And other people. Too bad the game has not only stopped improving in most areas, but has gotten worse in others. The PS3 is not much different from the other versions. The Collector's Edition gives you a DVD with a game trailer and behind the scenes footage, a book of finishers, and Rey Misterio and Kelly Kelly trading cards with a password for the game. Pass.

* Need For Speed: ProStreet [stats] - 1UP says "Need for Speed just got great again", IGN says "Need for Speed ProStreet is a disappointing effort in a franchise that has generally been rather solid." So I dunno.
