THIS WEEK’S RELEASES: JUNE 11TH – JUNE 17TH

Unless you’re a Wii or handheld system owner, it’s going to be a very light week at retail this time around. We’ll start this week’s post off with Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree for the Nintendo Wii (obviously). While Big Brain Academy on the Nintendo DS didn’t have quite the same following that Brain Age did, it’s sure to see a decent number of sales based on the premise alone.

The Wii also gets it’s first installment of Electronic Arts Sims franchise as The Sims 2: Pets makes it’s Wii debut this week. I’m quite sure many more Sims titles will follow in it’s footsteps.

While the PSP gets it’s share of brain teasers with PQ2 and Puzzle Scape, the big focus on the PSP this week is sure to be Rainbow Six: Vegas. It should be interesting to see just how well the concept ports over to Sony’s portable.

Finally, Nintendo DS owners get a spiritual sequel to Konami’s 1982 arcade classic Time Pilot with the company’s latest title Time Ace. Given my love of the original Time Pilot, I may just have to give this one a rental and see how it stacks up in comparison.

Past that, we have the usual bunch of throwaway titles this week, including the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie adaption on just about every active console. Here’s everything you can expect to see at retail over the course of the week;
