THIS WEEK’S RELEASES: MARCH 17TH – MARCH 23RD

Things are looking a little bit better this week, as a few titles worth talking about should be finding their way to retail. Of those titles, one stands out from the rest as being worthy of the coveted "pick of the week" status, and that title is Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

Now I don't know why Ubisoft chose to revisit Vegas instead of finding a new exotic locale, but if you have to visit a city twice, you could certainly do a lot worse than Las Vegas. If the original Rainbow Six: Vegas is any indication, this one should once again give fans of team-based tactical first person shooters something to look forward to.

Let's take a closer look at some of this week's more notable releases, shall we?

• Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3)
  • Sony brings it's long running cutesy golf series to the PlayStation 3.
• Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection (PS2)
  • If you're drooling over the thought of playing Metal Gear Solid 4, but haven't played some of the earlier games in the series yet, this is the pack for you – you get MGS, MGS2 and MGS3 in one convenient bundle.
• Rainbow Six : Vegas 2 (360 & PS3)
  • Join Rainbow Six as they once again take on the baddies in Las Vegas.
