Nintendo Power has packed in a Super Mario Galaxy 2 poster in their latest issue. It might be a little added incentive to pick this issue up! Thanks to Alienboyva for the heads up.

Three simple concepts: Add it / Fix it / Leave it Alone.

The original game had a great story but the gameplay didn't live up to its potential. We look at how the team is building a better sequel.

Did you know that EA's Football Manager franchise is developed in Germany? Did you then know that, in German, the game is titled "Fussball Manager?" 'Cause that just about made our whole year. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, you might be interested to know that EA Sports is bringing another release in the Fussball series out later this year on PC. The publisher announced the title recently alongside the release of a smattering of screens (that we've dropped into a gallery below).

The tenth entry in the FIFA Manager series promises a lowered barrier of entry for new players, as well as "considerably expanded" online functionality. EA's Bright Future studio in Germany is heading up development of the annual franchise's latest installment, and the game is expected to release sometime this fall. Get your, um, pencils and paper ready? We guess? Yeah! It's Fussball time!

You may have seen these before, but now you can have a look at their full resolution! Check out more screens and art from each version here

#twig The A-list drop for the week is Crackdown 2, the sequel to the 2007 hit, which returns you to a city overrun by mutants and criminals. More »

He's kind of like Kevin Butler, but he's a lot younger and he's all about the PSP. His name is Marcus, Marcus 'PSP' Rivers (we're not confident that's his Christian name) and he's the face of a new ad campaign that Sony's running to promote the PSP and PSP Go: "Step Your Game Up." We saw a glimpse of the little scamp during Sony's E3 presser, but apparently Marcus will be branching off on his own in the coming months.

A PlayStation blog post details the campaign and points out Marcus' YouTube channel which is full of clips from pieces currently running "on over 19 networks." We've embedded a couple of our favorites after the break, so head on past to make with the yucks.

Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans, and a belated Happy Canada Day to those of you slightly north. Like most of you, we’re spending the long holiday weekend with our families, but we’ll still try and squeeze a few posts in tomorrow, as well as share these links with you today.

Especially timely is the first one – a series of patriotic tracks to play on your favorite music games if you’re stuck inside today, courtesy G4.

Happy grilling/fireworks!

During this year's E3, some lucky folks in the press got an eyes-on with Star Wars: The Old Republic's multiplayer mode. Thankfully the benevolent jedi lords at BioWare have deemed the gameplay worthy of regular folks and have released an exciting video of the multiplayer in action. Imperial troopers and breach droids abound, so we implore you to have plenty of midi-chlorians at the ready before venturing into the clip we've dropped after the break. Oh, also, it looks totally boss.

Coming from an Amazon listing… Hmmm…let’s hope that parents do a little more investigation into this game before they snatch it up for their kids! Thanks to Kolma for the heads up!

Oddly enough, there are quite a few games out there that let you get your virtual fireworks kick. If you live in an area that doesn’t allow fireworks, and there are no state-sanctioned fireworks displays going on, perhaps you could play some games to get the same feeling! It may not have the [...]

A portion of a Game Informer interview with Dan Bull… GI: Tell us about the track? What’s the inspiration behind it? DB: I was seriously ill a couple of years ago and all I could do was sit down and play games all day, which was a really fun way to recover. I’m always coming up with [...]

Resident Evil 4 sure did change a lot before we actually got to play it. Much like Resident Evil 2, the game was given a major overhaul before it hit retail. Just what happened during development that lead to such a huge shift? Perhaps the beta details can fill us in on [...]

Looks like Pqube Ltd. is going to bring Castle of Shikigami III to Europe, a very long time after it hit in the states. According to their listing, it should be out sometime soon. I’ll believe it when I see it on store shelves! Thanks to Whatami for the heads up!

Nintendo Power has given Dragon Quest IX their cover for the most recent issue. We’ve already seen one version of the cover, but now you’re checking on the subscriber version. I know Nintendo is trying to give Dragon Quest IX a big push, but I’m not sure that they’re doing enough to get [...]

SEGA Interview - The Conduit 2 from NerdMentality on Vimeo.

Planning on honoring the grand American tradition of taking off Fourth of July week and playing rhythm/music games every day? You'll be glad to hear, then, that Microsoft is honoring the grand American tradition of offering up sales you just can't pass up -- more specifically, sales on gobs of DLC tracks for said rhythm/music games.

200-plus tracks are seeing price drops for as much as 50 percent, with content being discounted for Rock Band/Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero 5/Guitar Hero: World Tour, and every Lips title from July 6 - 12. We've got the entire list of tracks and track packs just after the break, you big independence celebrator, you.
