The gang at Ubisoft hasn’t forgotten about the original Red Steel, no matter how much they want to! They’ve snuck the original boxart for the first game onto a soda can in the sequel. A nice little nod to a game that most would like to pretend doesn’t exist! Thanks to LittleMac [...]

Amazon UK: ranked 9th in Wii best sellers Amazon France: ranked 22 in Wii best sellers Amazon Canada: ranked 22 in Wii bestsellers Amazon Germany: ranked 26 in Wii bestsellers Looks like the game might be fairing quite well around the rest of the world.

#paxeast Midway's classic arcade speedboat racer Hydro Thunder is getting a full-fledged sequel with Hydro Thunder Hurricane, exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade, promising all-new, over-the-top rocket powered speedboat action. (Which you can witness in the game's first trailer!) More »

Bad news emerges out of PAX East.

The first expansion for the much loved Fantasy Strategy game releases today.

We quite like Kojima Productions' tactic for promoting Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker: long clips of uninterrupted gameplay footage.

In the latest video, a trio of Snakes, along with some soldiers, team up to take on -- a helicopter. Or, if you prefer Metal Gear Solid 3 naming conventions, The Helicopter. One Snake demonstrates how to look tough while wearing pink fatigues -- by CQC-ing and then kidnapping four soldiers in rapid succession. And we witness the splendor of the Ambulance Box. Remember when we thought of Metal Gear games as realistic military simulations? You know, right before Metal Gear Solid came out.

The latest Hanabi Festival has deposited another high-quality import into the European Wii Shop: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber. Should you be less enthused by strategy and more into reflexes, you can get your fight on in Fatal Fury Special, also available on Virtual Console this week.

On DSiWare, you're treated to a trio of Game & Watch games from Nintendo, along with yet another GTA-type game.

• Ogre Battle 64 (Nintendo 64, 1 player, 1,200 Wii Points)
• Fatal Fury Special (Neo Geo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)
• Art of Balance (WiiWare, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
• Diner Dash (WiiWare, 1-8 players, 1,000 Wii Points)
• Game & Watch: Chef (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 Wii Points)
• Game & Watch: Judge (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 Wii Points)
• Game & Watch: Mario's Cement Factory (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 Wii Points)
• Super Yum Yum: Puzzle Adventures (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points)
• Gangstar 2: Kings of LA (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
  

Last time I checked, there was no way to cram GBA games into the DSi XL. I know the system is bigger, but there’s still no room for GBA play! Thanks to David for the heads up.

The site for Kensaku Ando has opened up, and it brings a few screens and bits of art with it. What you’ll really want to focus on is the theme song, which is a bit too hyper…even for my liking. The chances this game comes over to the states are slim to none, [...]

Announces new military action shooter.

GameStop must have known that those download vouchers for free DLC with new copies of games -- what EA calls "Project Ten Dollar" would be trouble for its business at some point. It probably didn't suspect it would be this kind of trouble.

A customer named James Collins, after buying a used copy of Dragon Age and finding himself unable to access the game's free bonus DLC ("The Stone Prisoner," above), has filed a class-action suit against the company, for "fraudulently, unfairly, unlawfully, and deceptively [misleading] consumers at the time of their purchase to believe that the game comes with free downloadable content when, in fact, it does not," effectively duping customers into paying more for a "complete" used game than for a new copy.

In addition, GameStop's seven-day return window, the lawsuit claims, gives consumers insufficient time to discover they lack access to the DLC. A copy of the complaint can be perused at IGN.

[Thanks, Rob]

If you CD isn't working get a replacement.

Here is this week’s PlayStation Video Store update. For new arrivals this week, we have a bunch of new releases movies that should suit everyone’s interests. There’s George Clooney’s The Men Who Stare at Goats and Fantastic Mr. Fox; Brothers, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, and Toby Maguire; The Blind Side, starring Academy Award Winner Sandra Bullock, and the wildly popular The Twilight Saga: New Moon. See the trailer below…it’s pretty intense!

Also, you’ll notice a new list included below entitled ‘Coming This Weekend’. This list will give you a heads-up on what we expect to receive this upcoming weekend. We thought the list would be helpful since we have a lot of popular TV episodes that come in on Fridays and Saturdays (South Park, Caprica, Attack of the Show, etc). Have a great weekend!

Some new screens have been posted to the bulletin.

Plus new "Valleys of Neptune" single from new Hendrix album Jimi Hendrix now Exclusive to Rock Band platform.

Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has confirmed the inevitable to Joystiq: Xbox 360 Memory Units and the 120GB hard drive are being phased out. Acknowledging what's been in the stars since February, the Xbox spokesman stated that "the channel is being drained" of the storage options. The same goes for memory units, which, after today's official announcement of USB support, makes the MU even less useful.

This makes the $130 250GB HDD the primary option ... well, at least until this fall, if the Xbox Slim comes to pass.

From the makers of Heavenly Sword comes this story-driven action game.

A taste of the coming thaw.
