Looks like game publishers are gearing up for the holiday shopping season already, which I guess is fine since they already have Christmas decorations for sale at most major retailers. The eagerly awaited sequel to LostWinds is out via WiiWare today and Domo continues his attempt at American dominations, moving from Target to 7-Eleven and now to DSiWare with five downloadable games. All this, plus freaking Rygar for Virtual Console! Music-wise, there are 10 songs from Queen on Rock Band 2 and Wolfmother has three songs from their unreleased new album now available to download on Guitar Hero 5. Cooking Mama 3 is my pick of the week. Check out the mega-list after the break and let us know which games you’re interested in.
