This Week's Releases - 19/10/09

PALGN Feature | Racing to the border.

With Sony catching the spotlight last week with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, it's Microsoft's turn to take the podium with Forza Motorsport 3 on Xbox 360. The game promises over 400 of the world's finest cars on more than 100 of the globe's most recognised racing tracks. For the complete rundown on Forza Motorsport 3, head over to our hands-on preview by overlord editor Jeremy and resident Forza expert James V. Forza Motorsport 3 won't be exiting the garage until this Friday, so in the meantime, you can decide whether to pick up the standard or Limited Edition. The latter comes fuelled with a Forza-branded USB drive, VIP membership, exclusive car pack and dashboard theme.

The next game aiming for out attention this week is Gearbox Software's Borderlands. Best described as a first-person shooter with role-playing elements, the game gives players a plethora of fetch quests and a colossal armoury of guns to choose from. With a unique visual style and four-player co-op, Borderlands is definitely looking promising. For our thoughts on the game, check our recent preview. Borderlands is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this Friday.

Wrestling fans can get their next videogame fix when WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 barges onto every console and portable gaming platform. For an in-depth look at the latest instalment, check out the preview by local wrestling aficionado Luke M.

Just got off the phone with my local Game here in WA, they've been given the go ahead to sell Forza 3. Looks like EB (one of many places) broke the street date!
