While BioShock sits just out of reach, the summer dirge continues with yet another poor weekly showing of new releases. This week, thankfully, there are no Hollywood tie-ins but then the likes of Boogie, Pet Alien, Combat Mission: Shock Force, and Mega Man: Dragon are hardly likely to whip up a consumer storm.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the videogame store… yet another crushing week of new release mediocrity looms from the murky summer waters and drags you kicking and screaming back into the depths of gaming disappointment.

However, as Harry Potter, The Transformers, Shrek et al saunter off into the distance, all this week can muster by way of gaming highlights are Boogie on the Nintendo Wii, three separate iterations of Mega Man on the Nintendo DS, Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars on the PSP, and Attack on Pearl Harbor on the PC.
