This week's high-profile new releases, "Alpha Protocol" and "Backbreaker," have been getting mixed reviews, so we're gonna switch things up a little and go with a great game that just got a price drop, two games that got downloadable content and a couple of downloadable games.
A slew of quality new video games has the normally sleepy month of May looking a lot like October.
The Wii's "Monster Hunter Tri" and some downloadable content highlight an otherwise slow week.
A brief rundown of what I saw and played Thursday. I'll be covering each game in greater detail later, but wanted to let you all know what's coming.

All it took was a half-hour in 1986 playing Super Mario Brothers on the NES to get Emmanuel Lopez hooked on video games. When he’s not gaming, Emmanuel enjoys spending time with his dogs, watching professional wrestling and keeping up his “read at least one book a month” quota.
