This week for PC releases the truck has come to town. With titles like Race Driver: GRID and Lego Indiana Jones hitting stores, there's something for everyone. Launching along side their console versions, GRID and Lego Indy are just two of the handful of releases hitting this week.

With so many recent PC releases also breathing life on consoles, we scoff at anyone who says PC gaming is dead. Dead? If it was dead would we have Kung Fu Panda hitting shelves this week too? Yeah, that's right. Put that opinion to rest right now! Wait, probably not the best example.

Full release list for the week ending June 7, after the jump!

Jack Black's next movie won't have him playing a funny slob with a heart of gold. No, in the Dreamworks Animation film Kung Fu Panda it looks like Black will voice the role of a funny slob of a panda bear with a heart of gold. Oh, and he can (maybe) do some serious Van Damage if he feels like it.

Activision has had a long time game license with Dreamworks Animation to create games based on their movies (all three Shrek movies as well as Shark's Tale (which also had Jack Black's voice work), Madagascar and Over The Hedge). So it's a no brainer that an Kung Fu Panda game is in the works as well. In an unusual move, Activision has released a new PC only demo for the game well ahead of the movie's mid-June release date. In the demo you can control Black's character Po in a portion of the full game as he fights not just with weapons but also unique special attacks, including one called the Panda Quake.It sounds like a tasty dessert to us.
