This week in worldwide game releases, the U.S. and Europe are still holding their own, with a few key titles shipping out in the next few days, but it's a bit more interesting on the Japanese front, at least when compared to last week's list.

EA's much-awaited Burnout 3 is one of the bigger releases in the States this week, with the seriously spooky Silent Hill 4 rounding out the Xbox catalogue. However, Sammy's budget-priced Guilty Gear X2# got a last-minute delay until next week. The two newest Pokemon RPG titles, both including a packed-in wireless adapter, should still be big-sellers on the Game Boy Advance front, even debuting alongside a slew of family-aimed licensed GBA titles.
