A short but kind of sweet release list this time.

PC owners are treated to Demigod, a game which fuses too many genres to count and looks to be rather fantastic (we'll have a review up Tuesday on Neoseeker) and horror-ish title Cryostasis, one we've never heard of but could be great (it's been getting some favourable reviews and has a rather unique plot).

DS owners, meanwhile, are treated to two more Atlus-published RPGs: Dokapon Journey and The Dark Spire.

"Chris Taylor’s team at Gas Powered Games are creating something very original and exciting in Demigod which expands the possibilities of PC strategy gaming,” said David Gardner, CEO of Infogrames, the parent company of ATARI.

“This agreement with Stardock brings a great addition to our 2009 line up as we head into the next phase of growing our distribution business.”..."
