With the first full week of September now with us we begin the busiest time of the year for new PC game release. In addition to the games mentioned here, NCsoft is relaunching its MMO Aion to retail stores with a new expansion pack.

R.U.S.E. - Developer Eugen Systems and publisher Ubisoft try out something different in the RTS genre with this World War II themed game that uses things like dummy units and other features to keep his or her opponent guessing about its next move. This game is also one of the first to natively support Microsoft's Windows 7 multi-platform touch-screen features in order to control your units.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Frictional Games, the creators of the cult hit Penumbra series of horror-themed titles, returns to the horror genre for its latest first person title. You are in a mansion in the 19th century. You don't know how you got there and you seem to be all alone ... but are you?

Chime - This puzzle-music based game from developer Zoe Mode was originally released for the Xbox 360 but will now be released for the PC via Steam. In addition to an exclusive level based on Portal's Still Alive song, a portion of the game's proceeds will go to charity.

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale - This unusual indie PC RPG game comes from Japan-based developer EasyGameStation. You find yourself in charge of an item shop where you have to pay off a pesky fairy who apparently you own some money. Manage the stock, change how the shop looks or even go outside for adventures, including taking out monsters who have some stuff you can sell in your shop. We did mention it's an unusual game, right?
