My pick this week is Soul Calibur IV for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. SCIV is the latest installment in Namco's popular fighting franchise, and features Star Wars characters, Yoda on the 360 and Darth Vader on the PS3. However, that may change since rumor has it that you will be able to purchase the character the other system has via downloadable content. The game is averaging 90% on GameRankings so far.

But my real pick of the week goes to the surreal PS3 downloadable platformer PixelJunk Eden. The demo came out last week, and I was completely blown away by what Dylan and the team at Q Games did with this one. I highly recommend picking it up if you're a PS3 owner looking for something relaxing but challenging...or if you're a Trophy Ho since Eden is the second game on the PS3 to support trophies.  For you 360 owners, Geometry Wars 2 comes out this week as well. Geo Wars 2 is the sequel to the wildly successful Xbox Live Arcade original. New features include additional gameplay modes, and four player online co-op.

I got my copy of Soul Calibur IV today. Haven't played it yet though. Too busy scanning it in hehe.

I'd like to get into PixelJunk Eden but after watching a few videos on it, I'm not sure I understand enough about what's going on to warrant me buying it. I guess I should read some reviews to learn about it. I still don't have PixelJunk Monsters which looks a much more enjoyable game (and I plan to get it) but I'm staying open minded about Eden.
 
There's a demo of Eden on the Playstation Store. If you're unsure about the game, I'd definitely download that demo because the only way to really understand what's going on in that game is to actually get your hands on it.
 
Ok thanks Tondog Smiley
