With March ending and thus ending everyone’s obligation to release something during Q1 of the year, game releases precipitously drops once again. Sounds like a good time to keep on admiring that shiny little handheld you got charging on your dock. Unless of course you’re jonesing for more Glee action.

Remember. Release dates are quite literally made at the whims of the publisher.  The following are subject to change without any warning.

Carnival Games: Monkey See, Monkey Do (Xbox 360 Kinect)

I wonder if Microsoft knew that making a motion controller for their console meant opening the door to all the mini-game collection franchises that thrived on the Wii. If they didn’t before, they do now. All your favorite carnival games makes an appearance on this version in addition to a slew of others that undoubtedly takes full advantage of the Kinect. It even has a new barker, Monkey Barker. Now your carnival experience just got 700% more simian.

Karaoke Revolution: Glee Volume 2 (Wii)

Because one volume just can’t possibly fit the entire Glee experience, Volume 2 was an inevitability that borderlines tragedy. This one comes with 20 more songs to choose from like “Bad Romance”, “Like a Prayer”, “Gives You Hell”, and more. Like before, please be considerate of your neighbors as you attempt to imitate these songs. Your neighbor thanks you.

Remington Super Slam Hunting Alaska (Wii)

If you can’t get enough shooting in your gaming diet, perhaps you should consider adding Remington Super Slam Hunting Alaska into your next session. This gallery shooter has you hunting Alaskan game as they lazily, and in giant packs, run right across your screen for your shooting pleasure. Happy hunting!

Match 3 Madness (DS)

Can’t decide on which Bejeweled clone is for you? Match 3 Madness has just resolved your indecision by including 27 kinds of match-3 style games in three different styles – Bejeweled style, Bubble Bobble style, and Tetris style. It even has a mini plot wherein you’re trying to build a holiday park on a tropical island, which is exactly what every Bejeweled clones out there needs to succeed.

Rabbids Travel in Time 3D (3DS)

Do you get the feeling that Ubisoft desperately wants to monopolize the 3DS? This, along with the other 3DS release for this week, makes the number of Ubisoft 3DS games climb upwards to 7. Not even Nintendo released that many titles for the 3DS. At least this isn’t just a port of last year’s mini-game collection, Raving Rabbids Travel in Time though. This one is a 2D platformer involving the eponymous Rabbids traveling through time. I guess that’s something.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3D (3DS)

Speaking of ports, this Splinter Cell game is a port of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory that came out for the previous generation consoles in 2005. Unfortunately, it won’t have the nigh revolutionary multiplayer that Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory had, but Ubisoft did promise that this port will have some new toys for Sam Fisher to play around with.

I guess I’ll just keep on fiddling around with my 3DS. How about you guys? Anyone up for a little moose hunting?
