This week’s new release is not Rainbow Six Vegas, but rather 4 Elements. They’re actually very similar though, the only minor difference is instead of employing shadow-op tactics to take down international terrorists, you’ll aide an adorable fairy in the matching of colored block to restore balance to the 4 elements that bind together an ancient kingdom. I’m not positive but I believe both games hail from the same series of novels penned by Tom Clancy. 4 Elements is superior to Rainbow Six Vegas in several other ways,for example it has way more than 6 rainbows, plus it contains the 4 aforementioned elements, oh and did I mention fairies?
All joking aside 4 Elements is very solid casual title, IGN gave it an 8 out of 10 declaring it “…a very, very happy game.” Obviously we’re still experiencing some technical hang ups with Rainbow Six Vegas, sorry for the delay in its release.

But fret not creative brick-builders, Lego videogames have greatly improved over the last few years and loss of these older Lego games could signal a replacement with a fresh-set of new Lego adventures, more details to come later. Hit the jump for the list of games to be removed.

Republic: The Revolution is on of this week’s new releases on GameTap. Republic is created by the same studio who produced the Evil Genius, a game that has recently risen to GameTap’s most played game. Republic is a bit more ambitious than Evil Genius and as a result will have a much more narrow appeal. RtR is a political strategy game in which you must use your influence, money, and power to rally the people to a revolt against a tyrannical President. However, you won’t be the only party vying for power and you’ll face stiff competition from others with differing ideologies. If the above is enough to pique your interest Republic could become your new time-sink.
