New This Week: Games Worth The Cash, Or At Least A Rental

This week we’ve got the all-handheld edition.

Space Invaders Extreme
PSP, DS
On sale: June 17
Space Invaders hit the coin-op scene back in 1978 with monotone graphics and three space yeti’s throwing and overhand left on the cabinet art. Since then a few things have changed. For the 30th anniversary edition Taito/Square Enix have changed up the graphics, thrown in power-ups, mini games and, of course taken out the need for quarters. Hopefully they threw in a few Invader easter eggs. www.square-enix.com

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
