PS3 owners face a tricky proposition this week. Should they purchase the standalone Blu-ray of Watchmen, or The Complete Experience which includes the high-def version of the film along with the two episodes of the End is Nigh beat ’em up? Those seeking inspiration for this dilemma need look no further than the words of a Rock Band Country track, “Know when to walk away, and know when to run.” Yep, Kenny Rogers song is like a Magic 8-Ball, always ready to help the indecisive.

Sins of a Solar Empire Game Of the Year Edition

DesertEagle’s Pick: Don’t overlook the single glimmer of hope in an otherwise forlorn week of reissues, add-ons, and movie-tie ins. Little King’s Story blends life-simulation, real-time strategy, and adventure elements into a innovative diversion. Let’s just hope the title’s pathfinding isn’t as trying as early reports indicate.

TideGear’s Pick: Another easy pick this week! While Sins of a Solar Empire Game Of the Year Edition definitely grabs my interest, I’ve been looking forward to Little King’s Story ever since it was announced. It took them a while to finally get it to us, but I’m hoping the delay was used to bring us a better quality game!

SeanNOLA’s Pick: Imagine my dismay when I found out that the G-Force game had nothing to
do with Tatsunoko’s Battle of the Planets.  Barring a game starring
hamsters with guns, my pick of the week will be Rock Band Country Track
Pack.  I’ve never been a plastic guitar enthusiast, but I have belted
out Big & Rich and Dierks Bently in the middle of a dingy bar in
Berlin.  This seems like a less painful alternative.
