Player’s Club: New releases for the week of 4/20

April 21, 2009 at 10:23 am by Garrett Martin in Games & Tech

It’s a brand new week, with brand new games. Excitebots: Trick Racing should please fans of Excite Truck, but will no doubt provoke the ire of disillusioned longtime Excitebike fans. There’s also another Dynasty Warriors game, for fans of a mindless button-masher that bears almost no relation to the Chinese history that supposedly inspired it. Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 swaps out medieval Chinese generals with giant anime robots, and yet somehow isn’t any more or less historical than the normal games. Because, you know, they’re not overly faithful to history to begin with. The full list of new games follows the jump.
