Gamers will be seeing quite a few games hit retail shelves for the week of January 22. There's a bit of strategy here, with Europa Universalis III for the PC, as well as the swashbuckling action of Sid Meier's Pirates! for the Sony PSP. Anime fans also get a little something courtesy of the Nintendo DS title InuYasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel. Those looking for something eerie and noir-ish should get both and more from Hotel Dusk: Room 215, and those who want a little madness in their gaming lives should definitely check out Sam and Max 3: The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball.

Here's a list of the releases, sorted by date:
