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:

Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge (PC)

Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge is a point and click PC adventure set in the Wild West, released to retail today by Nobilis and Ascaron Entertainment. Players can enjoy the game's detailed graphics as they follow the adventures of Fenimore Fillmore, a courageous cowboy who must find his recently kidnapped cowgirl companion Rhiannon, before undertaking a quest to find secret hidden treasure.

Fenimore and Rhiannon's adventures begin when they encounter a wounded stranger on their travels. The stranger tells Rhiannon of some treasure hidden in a cemetery, revealing the name of the person buried there in his last dying words. However, three men approach whilst this clue is being revealed and attack Fenimore and Rhiannon in a blazing showdown to find out the details. Fenimore is left for dead whilst Rhiannon is kidnapped and the treasure hunt begins. Players can then take on the role of either Fenimore or Rhiannon, working through the storyline to collect clues and solve the many puzzles.

Throughout the game, players can enjoy entertaining, humorous dialogue and a wide range of crazy characters; an alcoholic doctor, a mad scientist and a deaf telegraph operator. Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge also features beautiful 3D graphics and animated cartoon images, allowing the player to fully immerse themselves in the Spaghetti Western theme.

Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge includes over 50 different objects that can be combined and utilised to move the plot forwards. For example, players will need to collect red and green herbs in order to heal an injured character before progressing further. After some herbs have been fed to the patient, the remaining herbs can be mixed with mud to make a dressing for his wound, prompting him to reveal further clues.

Nobilis' Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge is currently available only in Europe.

Moto Racer DS (NDS)

Moto Racer DS is an exhilarating pocket racer that enables players to take part in top speed racing and perform a range of daredevil stunts in the Super Cross and Freestyle arenas.

The unique SPH (Stylus Precision Handling) can be used to control bikes on the track and for performing impressive airborne moves. However stunts must be completed before landing or racers will find themselves face down in the dirt eating their competitor's dust. There are 18 impressive tricks to master in Moto Racer DS including:

Kiss of Death – a death defying stunt where the rider moves their head towards the front fender as if to kiss it, while bringing their legs upwards from the bike.
Tsunami – this move sees the racer moving the bike and their body in a vertical position, then curving their legs over to resemble the shape of a wave.
Dead Body – involves the competitor sticking their feet through the handle bars, then flattening out their back as if they were lying dead.
Cordo – whilst holding onto the grips, the rider brings their feet up underneath the bars, pressing knees to chest whilst bending backwards to look upside down.

Moto Racer DS features a range of realistic motorbikes for each racing mode, allowing players to choose the machine with the best specifications for the circuit. This includes machines such as the Rebel SPT- N2, a light weight machine with immense turbo power, ideal for zipping around Super Cross circuits. The Flash SVR, which has fiery acceleration to reach break neck speeds, is well suited to Grand Prix tracks. There are also many bikes available to unlock when tracks have been successfully completed in best times, such as the Hellfire RC1, Ghost Flame, Duke Shookem, Dolce VTA and Raptor XC.

Nobilis' Moto Racer DS, developed by Artefacts Studio, is currently available only in Europe.
