Required playing from the week in games.

Don't want Kobe Bryant on the cover of your "NBA 2K10"? Fear not: The developer has offered the option of creating your own cover. Finally we can create the Harlem Globetrotters game cover we've always dreamed of. Curly, Meadowlark, honorary member Bob Hope ... the Washington Generals better bring it.

Also in stores this week:
-- "Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes" takes place between Season Two and Three of the very, very boring "Clone Wars" cartoon. At least here you can play as Kit Fisto, instead of just snickering whenever someone mentions his name.
-- Oh, hey, look, it's "NBA Live 10" with the new Dynamic DNA function. Insert tasteless Kobe Bryant joke here.
-- Can you survive Jigsaw's traps in "SAW"? Why did they wait until after the franchise ran out of steam to bring us into this virtual world?
