Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

The Godfather (PS3/Wii)

These fully interactive living world titles are based on the classic film by Paramount Pictures and the critically-acclaimed book by Mario Puzo.

The Godfather Blackhand Edition redesigns the motion-based Blackhand Control system specifically for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The power is in your hands as you take down the opposition, or point directly at the screen using the Wii Remote for pinpoint firearm accuracy. The Godfather The Don's Edition contains The Corleone Expansion Pack with new compounds to control, missions to conquer, and the new Corleone Challenges mode. The Godfather The Don's Edition also takes full advantage of the SIXAXIS controller for PS3; manhandle your controller to manhandle your opponent.

Developed by EA Redwood Shores The Godfather The Don's Edition and The Godfather Blackhand Edition have been rated "M" for Mature by the ESRB. The MSRP for The Godfather The Don's Edition is $59.99 on PS3 and $49.99 for The Godfather Blackhand Edition on Wii.

Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific (PC)

"Silent Hunter is unquestionably the benchmark for naval simulations," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific breaks through by incorporating intense action, crew management, and breathtaking Hollywood-style visuals."

Developed by Ubisoft's studio in Romania, Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific takes players to the depths of the Pacific Ocean as the skipper of a WWII American submarine. Immersed in this intense environment with the help of amazing graphics and sound, players will engage in massive battles with enemy units, manage and evolve an entire submarine crew, and earn promotions and commendations to ensure victory in the Pacific.
