Last week's batch of releases was quite flavorful, with a smattering of sports games (Deca Sports, We Ski) mixed in with a dash of adventure titles, such as Myst. This week won't be any different either, but expect things to be spiced up with the North American release of Sony's SingStar and Nintendo's phenomenal Wii Fit.

Check out this week's cornucopia of games and see if any of them are to your liking:

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Funcom and Eidos Interactive's barbaric fantasy MMORPG is finally up and ready to chop heads, cut-off limbs, and slay adversaries in the Hyborian Age. Gear up as either of the three races: Aquilonian, Cimmerian, and Stygian, and conquer your foes using the game's six-way Real Combat engine.

Dracula: Origin. A point-and-click adventure game by Frogwares Studios, Dracula: Origin lets players explore the mythos behind one of the greatest classic horror figures, Dracula. Being a good point-and-click title, Dracula: Origin isn't confined only to the well-worn horror republic of Transylvania, but will also include exotic locations such as Egypt. Definitely an experience that shouldn't be missed by old-school adventure game fans.

Sony Europe's sensational SingStar for the PS3 finally makes its North American debut, letting karaoke fans belt out their favorite tunes from popular artists including Queen, The Darkness, Franz Ferdinand, and many others. The game disc includes about 30 songs out of the box, but Sony PS3 owners will be able to purchase and download extra tunes for more karaoke enjoyment.

Star Soldier R. The Star Soldier series finally makes its entrance through the WiiWare service, featuring 3D visuals but retaining its classic old-school arcade flavor. The ship has three adjustable levels of speed, and can pick up two types of power-ups, one enhancing offense and the other, defense. There are only two playable levels for this game, but the game revolves on time-attack style gameplay instead of the traditional "go-to-the-next-level" gameplay.
