Cabelas Dangerous Hunts was out today in JB. It was fun on PS3 (imported it last year) with the Move, but I don't want to connect a new game specific camera and sensor just to play it with a gun on 360.

Wait, Dissidia's this week? I thought it was coming out next week. Cool I guess. Oh, and I think Nintendo's releasing something next week too.
