After a couple of weeks of very limited releases, new games are starting to trickle out again and we're back to give you a heads up on what's coming. From now on we'll also add a poll, so you can vote on the game you're most interested in each week. Please keep the feedback coming if there's something we can improve in this weekly section.

One Piece Odyssey / This Week's AAA Title / Thursday January 12
One Piece Odyssey transports the Straw Hat Crew to a mysterious new island where they embark on quests and fight powerful enemies and massive bosses in exciting turn-based battles. The game is introducing a new chapter for these famed pirates, with an original story and new characters developed under the guiding hand of series creator Eiichiro Oda.





Fears to Fathom - Carson House / Monday January 9
In the third episode of Fears to Fathom you play as Noah Baker, an 18 year old who got a small job offer to house-sit for the COO of a local media company for the weekend, he takes the offer as he had nothing interesting going on for that weekend. It wasn't long before he began experiencing something very unsettling about the place. Little did he know what was about to come. He survived as he made the right choices.



Truck World: Driving School / Tuesday January 10
Discover all the intricate controls necessary to successfully drive a large rig in otherwise inhospitable conditions of the Outback. Undertake a number of basic and advanced challenges and lessons to fully master tricky maneuvers that will come in handy in difficult or tight spots



Children of Silentown / Wednesday January 11
Children of Silentown is a point & click adventure game telling a mysterious and endearing story. Explore the town and its dangerous surroundings, meet its quirky inhabitants, solve puzzles and master minigames. Accompany Lucy on her adventure to get to the bottom of what is haunting the strange Silentown... if you dare.



Aquatico / Thursday January 12
Aquatico is an underwater survival city-builder set on the ocean floor. The Earth's surface has become a barren wasteland, forcing humanity to pour any remaining hope for a new beginning into the depths of the sea. Upon discovering a world below the tides, the opportunity to start over is within reach. Despite the new beginning, the dangers and challenges that lie ahead won't make surviving under the sea a simple task…



Finnish Army Simulator / Friday January 13
To provide a realistic but humorous experience of the Finnish Military Service (conscription, "intti") around the year 2011. We want you to feel nostalgic! RK-69 (pun intended), M05, hazing / bullying ("simputus"), NBC Alarms ("suojeluhälytys")…

Well my daughter might like One Piece Odyssey
Graphics look a bit tacky, especially considering it's a Bandai Namco game.
Not really interested in the franchise, so I have no idea if it'll be a good game or not otherwise.

It's the same team that made Dragon Quest 11, same graphical style.

i feel that the polls for "this week in gaming" should include a "none of the above" option as well, for me none of the games are interesting enough to even play them for free on EPIC...

I'll throw that in next week.
Also, it's impossible to have games that will interested everyone, every week and there's a reason why I haven't posted any game related news for the past two weeks, as there was nothing worth positing about.
