Dragonball: Raging Blast and DBZ: Attack of the Saiyans Now Available

November 10th, 2009 10 comments

Dragonball: Raging Blast hits stores today for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Of course, I don’t know how it can compete with Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, and the upcoming Super Mario Bros. game for Wii, but I might pick it up when the price drops.

If you don’t want to own yet another Dragonball fighting game, Dragonball Z: Attack of the Saiyans also comes out today for the Nintendo DS. It’s far cheaper and probably far more enjoyable, at least if you already own Tenkaichi 3 or Budokai 3.

Unfortunately, none of the major review sites have reviewed either one as of this writing. Keep checking Game Trailers and IGN this week, our personal favorite game review sites.
