Shippin' Out April 5-11: Nintendo DSi

The long-awaited North American launch of the Nintendo DSi is finally here. The camera-equipped iteration of Nintendo's popular portable system hit US shelves Sunday morning, trailing its Japanese launch by nearly half a year. A new system launch ordinarily means a flood of new games at retail, but the DSi's exclusive debut lineup is strictly available through Nintendo's DSiWare downloadable store. However, the new-fangled system will play the newly released DS game Rhythm Heaven just fine. For more on that title, check out GameSpot's video review at the end of this article.

On the non-portable front, things are looking grim in tone, if not in quality. The M-for-Mature-rated EA game The Godfather II puts players into the thick of the cinematic storyline, while Starbreeze Studios' Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena takes the original Escape from Butcher Bay and amps it up for the current-generation systems with extra single-player content and new multiplayer action. Both games are set for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
PC users can also look for Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, the second stand-alone expansion to Relic Entertainment's critically acclaimed real-time strategy game. As might be expected from an expansion, Tales of Valor includes more single-player campaign missions, as well as new units, multiplayer modes, and maps.

For gamers who like real-time but prefer action to strategy, there's the Xbox 360-exclusive Ninja Blade. Developed by From Software, Ninja Blade puts players in the tabi of a modern-day shadow warrior on a quest to cleanse Tokyo of a legion of monstrosities.
