April 28, 2008
Grand Theft Auto IV
PS3, Xbox 360
On sale: April 29
We heard some open-world, crime-centered game is coming out tonight at midnight. Apparently it’s a sequel and has a history of controversial content and causes general eyebrow raising among the nation’s lawmakers and policy types. It might be worth a look. www.rockstargames.com
Mario Kart Wii
Wii, DS
On sale: April 27
Nintendo pushed hard to promote the new title, putting an actor in a Mario suit to hail free cabs for New York City residents and hiring Jason Priestly to hype the game. OK, at least they worked hard on the cab thing. The latest version of Kart features online play, the addition of bikes and a Wii Wheel peripheral. Get out there and t-bone someone. www.mariokart.com

Kick it old-school with this Neo Geo compilation of arcade titles. Highlights include Samurai Showdown, Metal Slug and King of Fighters ‘94. High tech this ain’t, but it still beats the shit out of playing Brickbreaker on your Blackberry. www.snkplaymoreusa.com
