There's a few releases this week that I'd like to turn death laser eyes on, personally.
Things we missed last week: Konami's 1982 action puzzler Tutankham in the Archives, and shoutout to 1000xResist as per Syrenne's recommendation on this past week's RFN.
The reason why this is going up later than normal this week is because of a cold I got from my roommate's job... that, and a high release count (53 already in NA) combined with a couple of bits of unpleasantness in the week's releases (a Neptunia game, Braid, and Quantic Dream looking for all the world like they're ripping off Hades in Lysfanga). Among things that don't make me want to stab my eyes out are Indie World and Direct veteran Lorelei and the Laser Eyes from Annapurna, a colon-cancered sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw called... "Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer", and a comedy RPG called Athenian Rhapsody which we should have a review for around launch time. Also, John would have me strung up if I didn't mention Biomutant coming out, so there ya go boss.
Oddities of the week: Nightdive continues to mine the depths of the boomer shooter - and given that they're remastering PO'ed, that's literal - and another one of those romance novels that doesn't actually have English text but is coming out in North America anyway thanks to the power of IARC (Sekimori Gami).
