Gears of War protagonists Marcus and Dom are appearing in the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2. Gears of War is developed by American studio Epic, while Lost Planet is from Japan’s Capcom. How did this crossover happen?
We often see concept art for games that are coming out, but how about games that are already out? Like, say, The Legend of Zelda, which was released in 1985?
Have you somehow missed Double Fine’s lovely and under-appreciated Psychonauts? Now you have no excuse. The debut title from the makers of last year’s Brutal Legend is just $US2 USD on Steam. Your 2.0 GHz Pentium IV can handle it! [Steam]
As announced yesterday in Tokyo, Gears of War characters Marcus and Dom will be coming to the Xbox 360 version of Capcom’s Lost Planet 2.

Incarcerated at the Waupun Correctional Institution in Wisconsin in 2002, Singer had for two years been not only playing D&D with his cellmates, but had in his possession several books on the subject, and had even written his own 96-page scenario.
In 2004, however, the prison banned the game after an anonymous inmate complained that Singer and his friends were forming a “gang” around the game.
His game and reference materials were then confiscated by prison guards, on the grounds that they promoted “fantasy role playing, competitive hostility, violence, addictive escape behaviours, and possible gambling”.
Singer appealed the prison’s decision, but earlier this week 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his pleas, on the grounds that “punishment is a fundamental aspect of imprisonment”.

Not all multi-platform games are the same. Take SEGA’s Bayonetta, for example.
One complaint from PS3 players have been that Bayonetta has long loading times. This upload will offer the option to install the game directly on the PS3′s hard drive. The update will include an “Install” option in the game’s menu screen.
It is possible to install Bayonetta, as with every Xbox 360 title, directly onto the Xbox 360′s HDD. However, the Xbox 360 version of Bayonetta does not offer players this option directly through the game’s menu screen. The update will be available starting January 28.
While the Xbox 360 version of Bayonetta received better reviews, the PS3 version outsold the Xbox 360 version in Japan.
