Swords & Soldiers Releases In North America

If you had 1000 Wii points yesterday, chances are you downloaded Swords & Soldiers . Unfortunately I’m going to be in purchase overload this week with the Tiger Woods 10/MotionPlus bundle, and Ghostbusters: The Video game for PS3, and Wii next week. Not to mention the Ghostbusters: 25 Anniversary Blu-Ray is releasing as well. Yes, I’m a Ghostbusters nerd.

Hopefully in a few of weeks I will be able to download Swords & Soldiers, because it’s a game that has been on my radar for sometime. Here’s a press release for the game if you haven’t had a chance to check it out.
