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.
New videos and screenshots of Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, directly from Namco Bandai Games, are up! They show snippets of game in action, showing off some normal and special attacks by Goku, Krillen, Gohan and some of the other Z Fighters. Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans flies onto the Nintendo DS November 10th, 2009.

IGN has reviewed Dragonball: Evolution’s DVD, giving it a 7/10 overall.
If you missed the film in the theaters, this is a good chance to make your own decision about whether it’s a faithful adaptation of the anime or stands alone on its own as a feature film. This release is slim on extras, but the technical presentation of the film is first rate.
Sadly, it seems the only extras worth checking out are some of the deleted scenes and the gag reel. Read the full review by clicking here. To pre-order the DVD on Amazon, click here.
