Wolverine, robots, horses, and aquariums populate the game releases while Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, and Megadeth are among the bands with new songs for Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.
With a few more releases than last week, this week has little more going for it than a pair of Wolverine titles and a Monolith Soft game.
On the downloadable side, World Tour gets three more Nirvana tracks while Rock Band 2 gets a Jane's Addiction album, a Megadeth album, and more.
