We already know what you're going to say. While DC's upcoming Mass Effect 2 figure series includes decent likenesses of Thane, Grunt and Tali, the company is way off on its version of Shepard. In DC's defense, however, the company has no idea what your Shepard looks like, so it was stuck with a mold for Default Shepard instead of the real Shepard -- who everyone knows is vaguely Asian and female. According to the scans of DC's solicitation book, posted by Gamervision, the figures are still pending approval, but are due for release August 25 of this year. By then, you may be done with Mass Effect 2, so you can use these action figures to stage your own adventures on Planet Your Shelf.

Check out more screens here If the new screenshots don’t freak you out enough, you can check out the official website that was just opened. It may seem calm and peaceful at first, but once you spend some time actually sifting through the information, I bet things start to get a little crazy.

The two promos above discuss some new Pokemon that are going to appear in the 13th movie. They don’t come right out and say that these Pokemon are brand-new, but they are indeed going a bit out of their way to hide the identities of some Pokemon. Could we be seeing brand-new Pokemon [...]

PlayStation Home's first branded space, Red Bull Beach, has added two new ... wings, if you will. The energy drink maker launched its Home presence with the Red Bull Air Race mini-game (and the unofficial "wait in line and spam 'X' to play" companion challenge) -- the new Flugtag (German for "flying day") mini-game trades high-performance stunt planes for human-powered contraptions taken from its annual "will it fly?" themed event. The goal: Grab one of several "flying machines" -- try a banjo with wings, or, say, a completely counter-aerodynamic "flying pig" -- and attempt to glide as far as possible off of the space's launch structure. It's definitely ... interesting. So is the space's other new addition: the Red Bull illume exhibit, a virtual re-creation of a real-world art installation which features adventure sports photos projected onto the faces of translucent cubes. It's art, only ... extreme!

I’m guessing this has something to do with the DSi’s cameras being used to read tilt layout based on your surroundings. No matter what’s behind the tech, the execution seems pretty damn good! I hope we start seeing some titles taking advantage of this software.

With little explanation offered (alright, so, basically no explanation whatsoever), the United Arab Emirate states have reportedly banned the distribution and sale of THQ and Vigil's Darksiders: Wrath of War. According to UAE-based GamesLatest, the game was deemed to "contradict with the UAE's customs and traditions" -- a standard phrase used to near-universally describe banned games in the Middle Eastern states. Unfortunately, that task of enforcing such a ban can be a mighty difficult one. Many retailers in the UAE simply order from wholesalers, bypassing importing laws altogether, and sell their games under the table (and untaxed, might we add). And then, of course, there's always the internet -- we hear you can buy stuff through it. [Via GamePolitics]

Last night, we posted up a story about a Nintendo-created survey for Mario games. That survey had a question about previous entries in the Mario series, but Super Mario Sunshine wasn’t included. Some people were thinking that the game didn’t get a mention due to a limitation in the survey software…one that limited [...]
