Shippin' Out July 31 - Aug. 6: Bleach: Soul Resurreccion

Anime fighting game leads light week of new releases; Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet lands on 360 as Limbo bows on PS3.
The holiday gauntlet is almost here, but there are still a handful of low-key release weeks remaining before Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Madden NFL 12 tip off a nearly nonstop parade of high-profile picks to keep gamers busy until 2012. This week's biggest retail debut belongs to NIS America with the PlayStation 3 game Bleach: Soul Resurreccion.
Adapted from the hit anime, Soul Resurreccion is a 3D brawler along the lines of the Dynasty Warriors series. The game features 11 playable characters from the series, including main character Ichigo Kurosaki (along with his Hollow form), soul reaper Rukia Kuchiki, and arrancar antagonist Ulquiorra. Apart from fighting mobs of undead souls called Hollows, players can also customize the playable characters using the soul orb system, where players move pieces on a board and take over orbs to power up their characters of choice.
On the downloadable front, both the Xbox 360 and PS3 have aesthetically intriguing offerings on tap. For the Microsoft crowd, the 2D shooter Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet arrives as the third installment in the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade promotion. Meanwhile, PS3 owners will get a chance to try one of last year's Summer of Arcade titles as Playdead's Limbo makes its way to Sony's downloadable storefront.
For further details on the week's games, visit GameSpot's New Releases page. The full list of downloadable games on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live Marketplace, and the Wii Shop Channel will be revealed later this week. Release dates are based on retailer listings and are subject to change.

if it doesn't have the original soundtrack then no deal for me http://youtu.be/eoMrkPLBuCs
I lost interest in Bleach a long time ago. I'm not sure if I even want to get back into it.
@Frame_Dragger: 7.0 isn't bad. I'll have to go check out that review then. Thanks for letting me know. :D
@ShadowofSonic so in your logic 1 game makes another console better than the other, wow great logic.
can't wait for it!!! Bleach is an amazing anime and i believe that the game will be just as good
There are so many titles of interest coming out from the end of August till early December that this is like the calm before the storm. A very expensive storm.
Apparently the game only covers the end of the whole Ichigo Kills Aizen, and looses his powers arc, so the list of playable characters is low.
Why the hell is Bleach being released on a Wednesday?? o-O Makes no sense considering virtually every single game released here releases with other electronics.. which release on Tuesday. Also.. there are 21 playable characters.
It's nice having both consoles; I got Limbo a year ago, and now I can enjoy the new Bleach game :D Never really understood fanboyism.
