Shipping Out - March 2 - 4, 2009
You’ve heard everyone talk about Halo Wars and maybe you’ve even played the demo but this week you’ll be able to go to GameStop or Best Buy or wherever the hell it is you buy games, and pick up a copy. No more second hand accounts for you, my friend. Another strategy game, Empire: Total War, hits the PC this week as well - along with a fancy collector’s edition for those that have extra money during these hard, hard times.
Also out this week of general importance three new baseball games for various platforms, Tom Clancy’s HAWX, Tomb Raider Underworld for the PS2 (which I suspect will sell better than other platforms) several SpongeBob games (you know, for the kids), Sonic and the Black Knight and the promising Phantasy Star Portable.

Phantasy Star Portable Demo Soon .. For Japan
Japanese PSP owners will soon be able to get a healthy dose of Sega’s portable Phantasy Star action RPG for themselves when the demo is released on July 14th - a full week before the full game is released in Japan. Based on Sega’s online focused Phantasy Star Universe, the game demo offers familiar gameplay through the first chapter of the game as well as 5 missions from the multiplayer mode (Multi mode). It will be available at select retailers in Japan as well as a download from the game’s official site.
No word on whether the game will be making its way to Europe or North America, but if it is, we’ll hear more at E3 next week. Sega is also promising downloadable content in the future, but details on that are pretty thin.
