High Scores And Egos: There's Always A Bigger Doodle Just in case you missed the news earlier, Europe, there’s no Bionic Commando Rearmed for you today. Well, there isn’t on PS3. There is on 360 and PC, but you, you’re left with the PS1 version of Driver. Which as far as consolation prizes isn’t too bad! It could have been a worse PS1 game. Or, you know. You could have got the usual deal, and got no games.
We heard rumours about it weeks in advance, and then SCEE made it public at this year’s E3. Now, Sony has announced an August 28 launch for the 80GB PS3 in Australia, only a day off the date we already had. The release mentions that the new unit will come with a Dual Shock 3 controller (yeah!), replace the 40GB model (meh) and retain the $699 price point (boo!). Oh well, at least we have a pretty picture of the box, right?
A press release from the company can be found after the jump.
Previously, we posted very exciting data about which character Japanese players liked best. Now, we’ve done better. See that magazine up there? That’s Men’s Egg, the male version of Japanese gal mag Egg. The Men’s Egg models (and readers, hopefully!) have amazing hair. Just look at that! You cannot buy a ‘do like that, but are given that by the hair gods. Oh yes. For those wondering what games these follicles fancy, onward!
You finish Metal Gear Solid 4, you get access to a screen where you can enter passwords. Indeed, we’ve shown you some of these before! These are just like those. If you visit the extras menu, go to passwords and enter jmsotsynrn, you’ll get the Type 17 pistol. Nice enough, but entering aottrykmyn will get you the Snake-dressed-as-Altair costume that left the internet scratching its head a few months back. It even matches his moustache!

Earlier, EA announced that it would be working with Grasshopper Manufacture, the creators of Killer 7 and No More Heroes, and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami. EA Partners will publish the Shinji Mikami-produced, Goichi Suda-designed game on the PC, Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Wii. So why are these two Japanese gaming forces working with EA?
Just outside St. Louis, a man robbed an EB Games store a gun point (pictured). The man walked into the shop, picked out a game, and pulled a small handgun on the clerk. Here’s the kooky part: He told the clerk that his family was being held hostage and needed a PS3 to set them free. Then, the man told the clerk to call the police after he left the store because his family needed help. Well, that’s original. And crazy.

Nintendo aren’t happy! Sure, they’re making buckets of money from the Wii and DS, but shit, they could be making more. So starting this Christmas, the company will begin targeting the Latin American market more aggressively, with a Spanish-language marketing campaign and an emphasis on what Nintendo feel are the region’s genres of choice: sports and fitness games. Sadly, no mention of Paper Pancho Bigotes, though we’re sure Reggie’s cracking that particular whip as we speak.
Always thought that Metal Gear Solid 4 did a nice, subtle job of pointing out the health risks of smoking. Here, the State of Florida goes with something more obvious — complete with a Halo motif.
Thanks Jay for the tip!
Lots of people own Wiis. I own a Wii and maybe you do, too. And because so many people own Wiis, that means we get lots of Wii games. And let’s face it, most of those games aren’t very good. SEGA America honcho Simon Jeffrey puts it best: “Crap”. But that doesn’t mean the Wii is a lost hope! Not at all. Echoing what Jeffery told us at E3, the exec says:
