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:

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (PC)

"Command & Conquer is back!" said Mike Verdu, VP and Executive Producer at EALA. "We've taken the mix of explosive action, deep strategy, and rich storytelling that sparked a genre to the next level. Even better, the series is returning to its roots in the Tiberium universe. Players can take command of the futuristic armies of the Global Defense Initiative, fight for Kane and the Brotherhood of Nod, or control the alien hordes of our new third faction, the Scrin. I can't wait for people to get their hands on this game."

Fast and fluid gameplay, a breakthrough single player campaign, the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, next-generation graphics, and an epic story with full-motion video sequences featuring top Hollywood talent, mark the return of the critically-acclaimed Command & Conquer series.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars features major Hollywood actors for its high-definition, live action video sequences from critically-acclaimed television series such as "LOST," "Battlestar Galactica," and "House," blockbuster films such as Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi (1980, 1983), Top Gun (1986), and Starship Troopers (1997). The unparalleled, diverse cast includes Tricia Helfer, Josh Holloway, Michael Ironside, Jennifer Morrison, Billy Dee Williams, and Grace Park.

"When I realized that I wasn't going to be a computer-generated character, but playing a live action role in the C&C 3 game, I was really looking forward to see what was in store," said Tricia Helfer, famous for her role in the Scifi television series "Battlestar Galactica." "I can honestly say that it was one of the most fun projects I've worked on."

The actor who originated the main role of the maniacal leader of the Brotherhood of Nod in the Command & Conquer series, Joe Kucan, reprises his role as Kane in the game. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars also features real-life news reporters assuming the roles they know best--anchors and field reporters bringing the world the latest news on the third Tiberium War. These reporters pull from their everyday work to update the world on the devastating war and environmental catastrophes in the game's story.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is rated "T" (Teen) by the ESRB and has a US MSRP of $49.99. A special, numbered collector's edition shipped to stores nationwide today and has a US MSRP of $59.99. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition is a definitive collectible for any Command & Conquer or Real-time Strategy fan and will feature an enormous amount of exclusive content including a bonus DVD with a behind the scenes documentary, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, a series of gameplay strategy videos, and more.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is rated 16+ by PEGI and the USK. The Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition is rated PG by the BBFC and 18+ by the USK.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars will also be available in the coming months for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.

Medal of Honor Vanguard (PS2/Wii)

As the first game in the Medal of Honor series to be released on the Nintendo Wii platform, players can expect Medal of Honor Vanguard to take full advantage of Wii's one-of-a-kind controllers. Step into the boots of Frank Keegan, Corporal of the 82nd Airborne Division, and engage in battles throughout Europe. From Operation Husky on the shores of Sicily to Operation Varsity inside Nazi Germany, you'll fight behind enemy lines in the epic WWII battles that turned America's first paratroopers into heroes of WWII. Featuring spectacular graphics that add to the epic combat intensity, Medal of Honor Vanguard makes you the driving force in the struggle to liberate Europe.

"Medal of Honor Vanguard really takes players back to the classic MOH gameplay experience," explained Matt Sentell, Senior Producer at EALA. "We are really excited to offer this game both on the PlayStation 2 console as well as the Nintendo Wii which promises to allow fans to experience MOH in a completely new way."

Medal of Honor Vanguard, rated 'T' for Teen, is available for the PS2 with an MSRP of $39.99, as well as the Nintendo Wii with an MSRP of $49.99.
