After several weeks of extreme indifference on my part, some releases I can actually be bothered to cover. Grand Theft Auto IV is out Tuesday next week. I can't actually remember the last high profile game that was TOO IMPORTANT for Friday [Apart from Halo 3... thanks Graeme]. Etailers are allowed to post on the Monday and no earlier, but they'll no doubt be extremely eager to 'allocate' and charge your card before you can cancel and break into Argos on Saturday night.

But that's not all, you might be looking forward to Wii Fit...

And there's plenty of DS shovelware as usual. Apparently many the DS bandwagon-jumpers are loosing shed loads as retailers simply don't bother stocking a lot of the crap due to lack of shelf space and lack of interest. I've even seen it described this week as a "High-risk Market". In other gripping DS retail news, last week's The World Ends With You seems to have had distribution problems with a lot of places not even having it yet. So that may as well be out this week as well. I've played it and think you'll love it... if you're a self-professed 'scene kid'.
