With releases like these who needs Grand Theft Auto IV? Potential Game of the Year candidate Bus Driver finally hits stores this week along with, soon-to-be best seller, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Alright. This week isn't the most memorable for PC gamers, but with buzzing MMOs, red-hot racers and epic RPGs on the horizon it appears PC quality is returning to form. In the meantime we'll have to cope with the bargain-bin throw aways we're used to shoveling through in hopes of reaching potential gaming gold.

Sure there's buzz around that Grand Thefting game, but with news of problematic gameplay and glitches we're happy to wait for its PC release--because no one is denying it'll happen eventually.

PC Releases: Week ending May 17
* The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
* Bus Driver (DELAYED unit May 27!)
* Marine Sharpshooter 4
* Jungo

One of the greatest things about the PC gaming industry is that anyone can develop pretty much any kind of game they want, unlike console titles which need to have at least some kind of license from the console maker. Such a game is Bus Driver, the latest driving simulation from developer SCS Software. Today word came out from publisher Meridian4 that the US version of the game has gone gold and will be released via digital download in May. Pricing was not announced.

So you might be asking yourself at this point, "So all I do is just drive a bus around?". And we would answer back, "Of course not." You have to not just drive the bus but keep to a schedule, obey all the traffic rules and even make sure your passengers are safe and sound. You have the option of driving a yellow bus full of school kids, a bus with sightseeing tourists and for fans of the movie version of The Fugitive you can even transport a bus full of prisoners. Watch out for trains.
