ESRB Watch: The Old And The New

Turns out that my speculation about the strange reappearance of all those PopCap games was likely wrong. It now seems apparent that they reappeared due to their inclusion on the PopCap Arcade Vol. 1 disc. And that accounts for the presence of Astropop and Feeding Frenzy right at the top this week.

However, we still have some news lurking amongst all the PopCap games. New to the list this week are Arkadian Warriors, OMEGA FIVE, and Rocketmen: Axis of Evil (all are E10+). Rocketmen already appeared on the USK. Also of note, The 3D Ultra Minigolf expansion Lost Island aquired its own separate rating (E) and Carcassonne popped up again.

Carcassonne's presence is likely the result of the recent expansion Kings & Barons, but could Rocketmen be nearing release? And what about Arkadian Warriors and OMEGA FIVE?

Usual list of ESRB lurkers post-breakage.

Capcom games

The Capcom forums talked a bit about a couple of their XBLA games:

Talisman "not this calendar year" HERE

Rocketmen "mid-late October" HERE

Although I think Rocketmen may be Nov-ish due to the fact they try to sim-ship XBLA/PSN
