New Releases (Week of 8/24/09) @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on August 22, 2009

News: The Dark Knight and The Joker finally do battle this week in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

It's finally here! Batman: Arkham Asylum will be in stores for the PS3 and Xbox 360 this week (the PC version was pushed back to September).

But that's not the only big release this week:

Final Fantasy-inspired fighting comes to the PSP in the form of Dissidia Final Fantasy

Both of Samus Aran's GameCube adventures get the Wiimake treatment (and are packaged with Metroid Prime 3) in Metroid Prime Trilogy

Professor Layton returns to the DS with more puzzles to solve in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

Finally, Cursed Mountain brings scary moutaintops to the Wii.

Depending upon how you look at it, this week is either the beginning of the Fall game rush or one last attempt to cram a season of big Summer games into a single week, as the new release lists have been pretty dry up until now.

The full list of the rest of the new releases can be found below.
