Well, we're not impressed by what we've seen so far of Duke Nukem: Forever, but there is something to be said for this game finally hitting shelves after a torturous 14-year development. Other titles out this week include Child of Eden and Alice: Madness Returns. Seven days from now, Ocarina of Time's long awaited remake hits the 3DS.
