If there was one franchise I don't understand it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. To quote myself instead of writing something original, on October 20, I said, "You know I don't understand the appeal of the Ninja Turtles. I neither grew up with them or care to learn more about them, but despite that, the 3DS gets another licensed game and I have to tell you about it."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles $29.99, August 5

Based off of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a new film from visionary director Michael Bay ("film" and "visionary director" are used loosely) this is looking to be your typical movie tie-in 3DS game. Released by Activision, a publisher which thrives on Michael Bay-ish games, this hack and slash title is sure to please somebody (or at least I hope so since it costs money). Some of the features of this game include playing as different characters, earning XP, and turning on the game system with your hands.

Maybe this week you should just hide in your shell. I'll be back with more game releases as they are released.
