You can tell it's Autumn - there are some actual new games in the shops. Hitting the highstreet this weekend are Midway's John Woo-supervised shooter, Stranglehold for Xbox 360, Ninja Theory's visually awe-inspiring PS3 battler Heavenly Sword and lovingly stylised adventure Super Paper Mario for Wii. All have reviewed reasonably well, although Strangehold has been called simplistic and repetitive, while Heavenly Sword is considered too brief by some reviewers (although you have to see the cut-scenes). Super Paper Mario, though, is pretty much unmissable for game-starved Wii-ers.
Handheld gamers might want to check out Dungeons and Dragons Tactics on PSP or Heroes of Mana and Sonic Rush Adventure on DS.
Any of those tempt you? If the CoD4 beta is still running I know where I'll be over the weekend.
