Column: 'Release This! Week Ending May 6, 2006'

Gamasutra's round-up of worldwide video game releases, "Release This!", takes a look at every game title we know to be shipping to stores this week, in an exclusively compiled list. April 29th marks the beginning of Golden Week in Japan, a holiday during which the nation experiences a widespread shutdown of commerce and the quelling of new video game releases. New releases slow to a crawl in the United States and Europe as well, with only a scant few titles making their debut this week. In the midst of this drought, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter finds its way to the PC, and Europe gets their Katamari and Ape Escape fix. You can read the full Gamasutra column, covering all of the game software we know to be available -- across all platforms and regions -- for the week ending May 6, 2006.
