> Yakuza 2 (PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system): The sequel to the
> critically acclaimed Yakuza, released in North America in 2006, continues the
> twisting storyline one year later. Kazuma is named Fourth Chairman of the
> Tojo Clan and retires from the yakuza life the same day. The person he
> entrusts the future of the Tojo clan is assassinated by a former allied gang
> called the Omi. These events set in motion a chain of events that see Kazuma
> traveling back and forth between Kamuro-cho and Western Japan in a desperate
> effort to stave off an all-out war between the Tojo and Omi clans. Kazuma
> will find himself alternately dealing with the police, meeting the ladies,
> and punching hundreds if not thousands of people really, really hard in this
> fully upgraded sequel to the critically acclaimed Yakuza game.

> Dinosaur King (Nintendo DS(tm)): As Max or Rex, otherwise known as the
> D-Team, players will collect over 100 dinosaurs, each with its own special
> moves totaling over 240 in all. Traveling to five different territories
> around the globe, players will dig for fossils that are indigenous to that
> region. Once the player has collected their dinosaurs, exciting battles can
> begin with the evil Dr. Z, a greedy scientist bent on destruction and world
> domination.

> Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (Nintendo DS(tm)): The game, from the
> creators of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, takes place in a fantastical version of
> feudal Japan and stars a Ronin (a masterless samurai) named Shiren who
> travels with a weasel named Koppa. Together they are on a quest to discover
> the mystical Land of the Golden Condor, said to be the home of the legendary
> city of gold known as El Dorado. Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer
> features a turn-based control scheme and an inventory system that harkens to
> the days of classic 16-bit RPGs. The game will also feature three new areas
> not found in the original SNES version as well as new monsters, updated
> graphics and sounds, and a tutorial mode.
