Week in Games: Stranglehold Edition

With all the traveling I've been doing lately it's been hard for me to play any new games and probably won't get much of a chance for a few more weeks. Some good titles coming out this week though and I'm sure you'll be able to find something on this list that strikes your fancy. Personally I'm rather intrigued by the Sherlock Holmes title which has been getting decent reviews. Sherlock Holmes and the Cthulu mythos? Sounds like a winner to me.

Stranglehold (X360, PC)
All the fun of a John Woo film on your 360!

Medal of Honor: Airborne (PC, X360)
It's WWII as seen from above.

The Sims 2: Bon Voyage (PC)
Send your little Sims on a dream vacation.

Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 (PS2)

Worms you can carry with you in your pocket.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (PC)
Holmes vs. Cthulu in a fight to the death.

Seven Kingdoms: Conquest (PC)
Lead your army of soldiers of demons to victory.

Pool Party (WII)
The kind with balls and a cue not the kind where you throw your keys in one.

Anacapri - The Dream (PC)
Take a trip to the Isle of Capri.

Legends of Norrath: Oathbound (PC)
The world of EverQuest gets a card battle game.

Garfield's Nightmare (DS)
Nightmare indeed.

Crossing Fingers and Legs Again - Worms: Open Warfare 2

After the disaster of the last Worms game for the portables, THQ is giving it another go and releasing the sequel this summer for the DS and PSP. In Worms: Open Warfare 2 (the version we should have gotten in the first place), players finally get a chance to do some multiplayer gaming that isn't limited to the just the schmoes sitting in your room, but all the other schmoes, sitting around in their rooms, all over the world.

In addition to the game's classic Deathmatch mode, the game will feature new multiplayer modes such as Rope Race, Fort, Puzzle and Campaign modes challenging the player to use teamwork to defeat the enemy.
The game features 11 new weapons like the Bunker Buster and Buffalo of Lies as well as classics such as the Super Sheep, Concrete Donkey and the Holy Hand Grenade.

I'm skeptical about it, but I need a new online multiplayer game. If I have to go around Babypark one more time in MarioKart, I'm going to throw up. Kim Phu
