Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of March 2nd

Filed under: New Releases

Another pretty decent week of releases across the board. Europe is still catching up with the US with games like Blacksite: Area 51 and Solider of Fortune: Payback while Japan finally gets its hands on Guitar Hero III. A few completely-new games pepper this week's releases, too. We've added a link to any reviews we've done of this week's upcoming games. Here's the full release list:

US Games

EU Games

Asian Games

It's nice to see Army of Two clamber out from its hiding place. It was originally penned for a late 2007 release, but after EA saw how many games were coming out around that period they pulled it back. Probably a good decision, really, considering how it now has March pretty much to itself - especially in America. Yakuza 3 promises to be a big hit in Japan, especially with the Yakuza 3 PS3 bundle going on sale. We should see a slight upturn in PS3 sales.

Don't forget your PS3 is region free, so feel free to buy yourself any of the games you see in the list above. Release dates are subject to constant flux (which is why you see Blacksite: Area 51 up there, even though we said it would be out last week), so be sure to call ahead before you leave the house. Fresh air is bad for you.

Army of 2 isn't the biggest US release this week, it's MLB 08. It's the first true Sports game optimized for the PS3.

agreed, going to have to import it but i think army of two will stink of bland shooter and/or dumb team mate AI.

PS3Fanboy could you please qualify the region freeness of the PS3 when you recommend people to import. I have imported myself a few times and it has worked out well, but especially for games where there will be for-pay DLC then importing games is a solution riddled with issues for instance. So for offline games with little or no chance of DLC then importing is a great option. I bought Rachet and Clank and most recently DMC4 from the US due to the better price, but I do strongly recommend for people to google about a bit before getting any online titles or especially things like Rockband to make sure there are not unforseen issues.

Novice question: what does DLC stand for ? I guess it has to deal with online mode.

@ Laurent:

It means "DownLoadable Content"

DLC = Downloadable Content

I don't think I'll be getting many new games anymore. I'm canceling my gamefly membership soon :(

sorry to hear that. any reason why?

OAKside said...

I'd go with: Shipping turnaround (horrendously slow) and game availability (or lack thereof). Heard great things about their Keep It feature, though. Uncharted, here I come...

Army of Poo just kidding.

I'm on the fence with that one, I will prob give it a rental first and I would like to know if it's online co op.

Any game that gets hyped then buried makes me wonder. We haven't heard anything or seen anything about this game for months. I smell another unfinished turd from EA.

Yawn. Boring releases again.

Sony's MLB franchise is their only worthy sports franchise.

I really like how they brought back the hitting oval. I hated the baseball games where you just worried about timing and didn't have to aim your bat. I also have a bit of experience with the batting oval, as I still play Major League Baseball: World Series on my Xbox.

For all the canucks out there that like baseball sims(all 10 of us) you can get it for $50 bucks at Futureshop until March.6
