This week's highlights in new game releases: November 20-27

After a very busy last few weeks in new game release land, things start to slow down just a tad but there are still a few major games due out in the next week, including one that was released on Sunday

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - As Nintendo usually does it has released a major first party game in the US on Sunday. This Wii action game, the latest in the long, long running Zelda series.

Serious Sam 3 - Time to get serious once again as developer Croteam releases its latest game in its over-the-top first person shooter series as a PC exclusive. Look for lots of enemies on screen at once, massive outdoor levels, and co-op for up to 16 players. Yep, it's that wild.

WWE 12 - THQ brings us this newest entry in its long running WWE pro wrestling franchise this week for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. Looks for improvements in the game's grappling features versus previous WWE games. Of course lots of wrestlers from the WWE roster show up to make sure you know your role.

The King of Fighters XIII - SNK Playmore brings Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers a new installment of its retro style 2D fighting game series.
