The US video marketplace launched in November, 2006. In case you just joined us, it’s now December 2008, and poor old Japan still doesn’t have access to a store of their own.
Everyone’s favourite upcoming goofy Hollywood flick Dragon Ball is apparently getting a slightly reworked title: Dragonball Evolution. This isn’t yet confirmed by studio 20th Century Fox, but URL DragonballEvolutionmovie.com redirects to FoxMovies.com.
…it’d sound a little something like this. If you thought you’d get through 2008 without seeing the words “Django Reinhardt” and “Super Mario Bros 2″ in the same post, sorry, you were dead, dead, wrong.

Thought only Tecmo’s Team Ninja were the masters of in-game boob physics? Ha! Japanese game developers AC Gateway and Gadgetsoft seem to have invested a lot of energy into perfecting boob physics.
In new PSP title Masquerade Maid Guy: Bouncing Battle Royale, the devs used what they’re calling the Super Tayunizm Engine — basically, a boob-bounce-making game engine. There are tech demos after the jump in both 2D and 3D. Enlightening.
You’ve seen enough “game within a game” things for LittleBigPlanet to make you ill. Gradius, Tetris, whatever, it’s been done. But you haven’t seen Lumines, especially one that comes from Q Entertainment.
Chalk this one up as a rare victory, Europe: your PSN update for the week is better, I think, than the American one. Sure, there’s no Conflict demo (yawn), and yes, the Devil May Cry 4 demo is a week late (zzzzz), but that’s made up for by the inclusion of three PS1 games. Motorhead is, well, it’s something, Theme Hospital should make a few people happy (despite the PS version’s awful control scheme), but it’s the classic Fade To Black (well, I liked it) that should put a smile on everyone’s face. Especially when you consider that it (and the other two) are then naturally available for the PC/PSP store as well.
Got a big binge drinking “problem” where you live? We do in Australia. And government types are unsure on how to combat it. Oh, unless you’re the City of Melbourne council, that is.
How do you make a sci-fi shooter, the continuation of a sci-fi shooting series that’s always been good (good but not great), look a lot more amazing than it has any right to be?
Back in May, people started to notice something odd: the GTAIV promo art lady had one finger too many. While an extra finger would come in handy while, we dunno, playing the piano, most were baffled.
Poor Midway. They sure ain’t what they used to be. From arcade powerhouse to third-rate console publisher, today it’s been revealed the company are now facing a new low.
