Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of March 2nd

Another pretty decent week of releases across the board. Europe is still catching up with the US with games like Blacksite: Area 51 and Solider of Fortune: Payback while Japan finally gets its hands on Guitar Hero III. A few completely-new games pepper this week's releases, too. We've added a link to any reviews we've done of this week's upcoming games. Here's the full release list:

US Games

• Major League Baseball 2K8
• Army of Two
• MLB 08: The Show

EU Games

• Army of Two
• MX vs ATV: Untamed
• Dynasty Warriors 6 (Review)
  
• Blacksite Area 51
• Soldier of Fortune: Payback (Review)
  
• Battle for the Pacific (History Channel)

Asian Games

• Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
• Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan (Yakuza 3)
  

It's nice to see Army of Two clamber out from its hiding place. It was originally penned for a late 2007 release, but after EA saw how many games were coming out around that period they pulled it back. Probably a good decision, really, considering how it now has March pretty much to itself - especially in America. Yakuza 3 promises to be a big hit in Japan, especially with the Yakuza 3 PS3 bundle going on sale. We should see a slight upturn in PS3 sales.

Don't forget your PS3 is region free, so feel free to buy yourself any of the games you see in the list above. Release dates are subject to constant flux (which is why you see Blacksite: Area 51 up there, even though we said it would be out last week), so be sure to call ahead before you leave the house. Fresh air is bad for you.
