What to play this weekend (Aug. 21-23)

by GameWit

“Shadow Complex” (rated T, $15 Xbox Live Arcade download): This downloadable title, the last of Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade releases, looks better than anything releasing at retail this week.

What to play this weekend (May 8-10)

“Fallout 3″ (rated M, $60 on Xbox 360, $50 on PC): Bethesda Softworks’ post-nuclear role-playing game/shooter hybrid got the third and last of its announced expansions this week.
