This is evidenced by the fact that all three of Sony&#8217;s platforms combine for three new games this week, with one a leftover from last week and the PS3 getting no new games at all.  The biggest release this week comes from the DS &#8211; the hotly anticipated remake of <strong>Chrono Trigger<\/strong>.  The DS also gets a new <strong>Age of Empires<\/strong> game to follow the well recieved original release from 2005.  Other than that &#8230; well, not much in terms of major releases.  Well, maybe <strong>Gothic 3 Collector&#8217;s Edition<\/strong> will actually come out this week and deliver me the expansion supposedly released last week (but apparently not despite a press release to the contrary).
