Harley Quinn's Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City's Bad New Ending This developer diary says it’s for The Witcher: Rise of the Wolf. Never heard of it? Neither have we. The diary, however, says it’s the console adaptation of previously PC-only The Witcher.
Game designer Jakob Stilinsky says that the console version (for PS3 and 360) will be a little slicker. It’ll feature extensive use of motion-capture for the character animations, have better lighting and environmental effects, improved enemy AI and full achievement and trophy support.
Seeing as this game is yet to be officially announced (this obviously being a leaked promo), we’ve tagged this as rumour until Atari make things a little more official. Just in case there’s one person in the world who thought it’d be funny to fake a leaked developer diary for the console port of a Polish PC role-playing game.
Soon to be appearing on a Hankyu train near you, here is the official Gyakuten Saiban poster for the Takarazuka musical version. Previously, we brought word of this upcoming stage version due this February.

Rumour has it they’re gonna be available for download individually or as a package deal. No date or pricing info yet, but SCEE has asked two other sites to take down the image (might we be the third?) so it sounds pretty legit to me.
Ian Bogost and his students have a new project underway looking at the intersection of journalism and games; their new blog is full of interesting stuff.
In the interest of getting some news to you in a slow cycle, let’s start Sunday with a chatter roundup. Here are three things that enough people are blabbing about in the video game blogosphere that I’m reasonably comfortable passing them along.
