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:

Frontlines: Fuel of War (X360/PC)

Set against a desperate, near-future energy crisis, the game lets players experience the intense battlefields of tomorrow through a cinematic, single-player campaign and epic, 50-plus-player multiplayer games.

“Frontlines: Fuel of War is the biggest, baddest open-world battlefield on any platform, complete with a gripping, topical story and unparalleled multiplayer excellence,” said Kevin Kraff, director of global brand management, THQ. “The game continues the Kaos team’s strong history of FPS innovation, and we’re thrilled to be releasing it to gamers worldwide.”

“Frontlines brings the experience of next generation warfare to life with cutting-edge combat drones, infantry weapons, land vehicles, helicopters and jets all fighting on some of the most massive battlefields ever realized in a game,” said Frank DeLise, general manager of Kaos Studios. “We’re excited to introduce our unique frontline-based combat system and dedicated multiplayer servers for both Xbox 360 and Windows PC users.”

Frontlines: Fuel of War is an infantry- and vehicle-based FPS set against a desperate near-future energy crisis in which the Western Coalition and the Red Star Alliance are battling over the world’s last oil reserves. The intense and cinematic single-player campaign follows the brave soldiers of the Western Coalition Stray Dogs division, as they battle on the frontlines with a huge arsenal of over 60 next-generation vehicles and weapons. The unique frontline combat system focuses the intense combat action on the game’s massive and realistic battlefields, and a flexible infantry role and load-out system allows players to choose how the war is waged -- and won. Frontlines: Fuel of War also features 50-player dedicated servers for the Xbox 360 platform and 64 players for Windows PC, delivering a new level of intense multiplayer combat.

Developed by THQ’s Kaos Studios, Frontlines: Fuel of War is available for the suggested retail price of $59.99 on Xbox 360 and $49.99 on PC.

Bratz Super Babyz (NDS)

Based on the DVD of the same name, the video game allows players to relive all the excitement from the movie as the Bratz Babyz™ use their newfound super powers to help the citizens of Stylesville battle evil invading aliens.

In Bratz Super Babyz, players will save the day as all four Bratz Babyz, Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmin, as they try to recover the “Matter Exchanger” that has transformed the Bratz Babyz into super heroes. The game features super hero missions, such as catching a purse snatcher, stopping a bully and finding a lost puppy. Players will be able to execute each of the Bratz Babyz’ individual super powers by utilizing the unique DS controls, including using the DS Microphone to perform Cloe’s Super Shout Power. The game will also allow players to explore the Haunted House Maze, Bumper Cars, Whack-A-Mole and other exciting amusement park mini-games. Bratz Super Babyz also features unlockable multiplayer levels, accessories and outfits, as well as clips and stills from the movie.

Bratz Super Babyz is rated E for everyone and is now available for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
