Dracula: Origin (PC)
Play as Van Helsing in order to chase down Dracula and to take work away from Hugh Jackman (the star of the film version of Van Helsing).

Ninja Gaiden II (Xbox 360)
The even bloodier sequel to the very bloody Xbox game from Team Ninja and Tomonobu Itagaki.

GRID
Xbox 360, PS3, PC
If you liked Race Driver, you'll want to look out for the latest addition to the Codemasters series.

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy
Xbox 360, PS3
Jason Bourne appears on a pair of next-gen consoles in third-person action game form.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC, PS2, DS, PSP
While we're still waiting for a legitimate third-person action title starring our favorite doctor, there's no denying the appealing of LEGO Indiana Jones, especially if it's as good as the LEGO Star Wars Lego.

Kung Fu Panda
Xbox 360, PC, PS2, WII, PS3, DS
The Dreamworks CGI movie with the voices Jack Black and Angelina Jolie unsurprisingly spawned video games on multiple systems. A demo is available on Xbox Live in case you're unsure about this movie tie-in.

Fatal Inertia EX (PS3)
The decent futuristic Xbox 360 racer returns as an enhanced PS3 futuristic racer. Will the Sony gamers benefit from almost nine months of extra development time?

Summon Night: Twin Age (DS)
Another colorful RPG from Atlus for the portable-loving RPG crowd.

Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 (PSP)
Was the first Open Tee more enjoyable because it was a PSP launch title (thus no as much software competition) or are we going to be just as pleased with Open Tee 2? Find out once we get our hands on a copy and review it.

The Incredible Hulk
Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS
Another "I" game based on a doctor-helmed movie (the first being Indiana Jones) releases this week. It comes out a week and a half before the Ed Norton film and is also simply titled The Incredible Hulk. If you liked The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, you'll also like the smashing sameness of this game.
