RETAIL BIZ: Out This Week
This week is the calm before the storm, as a handful of releases give retailers time to breathe before the impressive line-up of May 22, when titles such as Bionic Commando, UFC Undisputed, Punch-Out and Damnation arrive.
In the meantime, PC gamers will be able to enjoy the action and strategy of Demigod (Atari), while a more casual audience can look forward to Happy Bakery (Rising Star Games). Other notable releases include Rock Revolution (Konami) and Focus Multimedia’s Mindscape series.
"Sports Island 2" may have a chance to chart too, I suppose. And "Demigod" is actually released on May 22.
