Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Demo Hits Xbox Live

If you’re looking for something to liven up the demo section of your Xbox 360 this weekend, the newly released Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 demo may fit the time-killing bill. The free demo for the real-time strategy game from Electronic Arts is now on Xbox Live Marketplace. Included is the game’s cinematic opening, one campaign mission each from the Soviet and Allied campaigns, and an interactive tutorial. It’s available worldwide, for that realistic global conflict feeling. Warning: The Red Alert 3 demo may not actually feature full motion video of Gina Carano in leather short shorts as indicated by this post’s lead in picture.

Animal Crossing Wii Begins Its Dominance In Japan

If the debut of Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City (nee City Folk) is any indication, Nintendo has another hit on its hands. City Folk landed at #1, with Wild World for the DS still in the top 30.

City Folk for the Wii was just one of five new debuts claiming half of the top ten, beating out Square Enix’s Chrono Trigger DS and The Last Remnant. Another strong Xbox 360 Japanese-style role-playing game that should help Microsoft’s fortunes overseas. Former chart-topper Kirby will likely move over 500,000 copies of Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe by the end of the year.

A handful of PlayStation 3 titles show stronger sales legs than their counterparts, potentially a good sign for Sony in Japan. Media Create sales for November 17 to 24 are after the jump.

GTA IV On PC TO Use SecuROM

I’ll say this for Rockstar – they do like a controversy. Usually, though, they go in for cool controversies like sexy mini games or the sensationalised depiction of car crime and bullying.

It seems like everyone in the world is waiting for Resident Evil 5. Even your mum. Even the Pope. Even The Pope’s mum.

But not Shinji Mikami. The creator of the Biohazard/Resident Evil series has already decided that he will not like the game and is planning to avoid it at all costs.

Seaman Dev Working on Gabo iPhone Game

Touch Arcade points out that innovative game designer Yoot Saito says he’s working on a game, well more of a digital toy, for the iPhone and Touch.

The game stars and is named after the primitive character from Seaman 2. Gabo seems to be a sort of digital pet, something Saito refers to as an experiment for the platform.

Judging by the videos, it looks like the game is all about interacting with the hairy primitive man, taking care of him and eventually, perhaps, forming a bond with him.

I’ve posted one of the videos found on the site on the jump. I’m definitely up for checking this out once it hits state side, which will be after a Japan-only release it looks like.
