I’m a bit late with this week’s new releases, as I’m still recovering from my wee sister’s wedding, where I wracked up an ungodly bar bill. Your sympathy and donations will be greatly appreciated.

It’s a busy week, and I had a hard time deciding which upcoming title made me tingle the most. In the end, however, it’s got to beDon’t Starve. I’ve been playing the beta for months, and it’s stolen my heart (and sanity). I’ve turned pig-men into slaves, built towns only for them to be destroyed by hellish monsters, and been driven to the brink of insanity by hunger and fear. I love it.
