Spring (in North America) begins on March 20th, so here's to the nice weather. Let's celebrate it with this week's release of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 for Xbox 360 and PS3; the PC version got delayed till April 15th, boo!
You'll be creating your own character in Vegas 2, yet you may bump into Logan Keller from the first game through the campaign. Ubisoft billed the game as "part sequel, part prequel".
Other additions include sprint, the XP system working online and offline, better squad and enemy AI, new squad commands, destructible environments, daytime and outdoor missions and an unlockable weapons system. But come on, 2 person co-op, yikes.
Other notable game releases include the Condemned 2: Bloodshot for PS3, Worms: A Space Oddity for Wii, Sega Superstars Tennis for DS, PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360, Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends for PS2, Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection (contains the original MGS, and director's cuts of MGS 2 and MGS 3) for PS2 and Singstar '90s for PS2.

I hate this time of year, PC game releases seem to stagnate.
