I hope everyone's weekend is going well. As discussed in the latest ShackCast, I've been playing a fair amount of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction on PlayStation 3. It's very pretty and I'm enjoying the franchise's traditional mix of action, exploration, humor, and creative weapons. I mean, can you really argue with slinkies of death and pirate outfits?

Check back later on for a list of this week's new releases, but don't forget that Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock hits PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii tomorrow. Confused about which of the four versions to get? Check out Carlos Bergfeld's excellent buyers guide.

Oh, and if the site's looking a bit weird, would you kindly hit Crtl + F5 to clear out your cache? Steve's been playing around with some new tech to hopefully make this place a little snazzier.
