Harley Quinn's Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City's Bad New Ending What happens when you need to put together an instructional video on how to play Okami on the Wii, and either budgetary restraints or international licensing rights mean your first choice for host – Dr. Steve Brule – isn’t available? Easy. You get this guy to do his best Brule impersonation, and hope for the best.
Japan hasn’t been so lucky with Grand Theft Auto releases. Either the games come years later, heavily censored or both. Well, this time is different. Today, Capcom announced it is bringing a localised version of the multi-platform title Grand Theft IV to The Land of the Rising Sun sometime this year. Though, we’re pretty sure CERO (Japan’s ESRB) will censor it pretty heavily. Japan doesn’t take kindly to random human killing! GTA IV in Japan [Game Watch Impress]
In case you weren’t put off by the myriad of problems facing the PS3 and 360 versions of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and went and picked it up on PC, there’s something you should know. If the game crashes (and, like most PC games, it will probably crash sooner or later), don’t just go and restart it. Just…don’t. You may want to do some housecleaning first. Seems that whenever the game does die in your arms (must have been some kind of kiss…), the CrashReport file it leaves behind clocks in at an awesomely-ridiculous 850mb-1gb. That’s an awfully long way of saying “Error, Error, Error”. PC-EACH GAME CRASH TAKE UP ALMOST 900 MB!! [Official Boards]
Just because porn starlet Sasha Grey is into puking, that doesn’t mean she’s one dimensional. She’s into gaming as well! Sasha is the proud owner of a Coleco Vision and enjoys playing games on her iPod when not doing other things. She adds: It would be pretty dope to be a Tomb Raider, or Resident Evil type-character. Fuck it, let’s go all the way: they put Jenna in GTA VC, why not put me in the GTA universe somewhere? But I’d have to be able to kick some ass…strapped with two MP5K’s and a black and grey skintight outfit.
You hear that Rockstar? Sasha Grey is ready, willing and able. :/ Sasha Grey Talks Games [Giant Realm]
Let’s put two and two together. Australia, despite its geographic isolation, is normally considered a European territory when it comes to games (thanks, PAL video standard). Europe is the PlayStation brand’s #1 fan. So it shouldn’t surprise you as much as it probably will that EB Games, by far Australia’s biggest games retailer, have said this re GTA IV preorders: We are happy to tell you it’s neck and neck, but at the moment, PlayStation 3 is currently in the lead.
Second-string retailer GameTraders are also reporting more PS3 sales, saying that they’re pre-selling two copies on PS3 for every one on 360. What’s this mean for overall, global sales? Probably nothing! What’s it mean for Australia? Something. PS3 GTA IV presales outpace 360 version down under [GameSpot AU]
Pirates have brought gaming some good things. Make that, some interesting things. Take this unlicensed Famicom Harry Potter… shmup? Yep! Young Harry rides about on his broom, shooting floating dog heads and bats. According to game site Siliconera:
Wii Fit is not a game. Really, it’s not. Even if it is in Miyamoto’s mind it is, Wii Fit ain’t. No wonder many game-playing folks are dismissing it. Not so fast! Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto says not to be so quickly to judge. Wii Fit is making things better, building bridges. According to Miyamoto:
Going by the packaging alone, one would certainly get this impression. Upon closer inspection of the controller itself, this impression would disappear much like, well, an Xbox 360 guide button on a Wii peripheral.
Thankfully for Activision, the mistake is only a point on a bulleted list and the accompanying image of the guitar is correct. I’ve blown up the photo our tipster sent in and added some sharpening so it’s more visible. Shame, I got a little excited by the idea of turning on my Xbox 360 with a Wii guitar.

Here’s the contents of the Soul Calibur IV Collectors Edition! The box, it’s big and colourful. The book, it’s black, and book-like. That other thing? That’s the “Tournament Kit”, which is the most overblown term for a card with a blank tournament tree on it I’ve yet to come across. The shirts? While different in colour and subject (white with Yoda for 360, black with Vader for PS3), they only come in XL. Sorry skinnies. And fatties. I leave it up to you to decide whether these contents of questionable worth warrant an $US80 price-tag. Tournament kit in Soulcalibur IV special edition explained [Siliconera]
It’s out in June and Atari has organised our Limited Edition bundle. I couldn’t be happier – I’ve been waiting for this game since I saw it back at E3 2006. You know, when it was still worth going to.
Perhaps the most exciting inclusion in the LE is the Edward Carnby figurine. Okay, it will be the most exciting inclusion as long as it doesn’t turn out to be made by the same company that does toys for McDonalds’ Happy Meals.
Also tossed in the box is the soundtrack, art book, documentary and game (duh).
Hit the jump for the full release.
