The first multiplatform drop of 2009 goes out Tuesday, but man, I'd walk around it like it was a swamp. Hotel for Dogs, based on a movie of the same name, smells a smidge shovel-y.

Also this week, PC gamers get Saint's Row 2. The rest of the haul? Not our kind, dear. All told, seven for the DS, three for the Wii, two for the PC and PS2, one for the PS3, PSP and 360.
