This Week in Gaming (Week 21)

Welcome to Computex week, oh, sorry, wrong topic even though it’s the week of what could be our favourite trades show, but this is supposed to be about new game releases. This week’s major release lets you live out your childhood sandbox dreams, at least if you liked big construction vehicles as a kid. This is followed by some Japanese arcade side scrolling action, a classic adventure game, some drifting in Japan, a game that puts you in the shoes of a courier and finally yet another game related to Japan, just a bit further back in time than the previous two.
