Today's a particularly busy Sunday for me, hence the earlier-than-usual roundup of new games in the ShackReviews database. We've got four new releases this week, including the long-awaited return of the Master of Orion series, one of the most ambitious console RPGs ever attempted, and a quirky action game that puts you into your own kung fu flick. As usual, if there's a game you want to review but don't see in the database, check first and then submit it!

• Master of Orion III (PC)
• Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (PS2)
• Indiana Jones & the Emperor's Tomb (Xbox)
• Kung Fu Chaos (Xbox)

The other night I was kicking butt on the final mission in Age of Mythology...my men were storming the enemy's camp, my uber-hero was fighting the final bad guy, when all of a sudden I beat the game, and...poof! Blue screen of death. I cheated to see the ending, but that was downright evil. I thoroughly enjoyed Age of Mythology, and only had one or two complaints up until that happened. But damn...that was mean. Next up for me...Xenosaga! w00p.
