Atari has announced that the newly saved Ghostbusters now has a release date and that date is June 2009. Ghostbusters will be shipping on every platform known to man with the exception of the PSP which is a little surprising. You would think that a Sony title would at least end up on all three Sony platforms and if any …

Another Prince of Persia video has been released, this time showing a montage of the gameplay elements that we can all expect from the new refreshed title. I think that the game is looking really fun and to be honest, it really needs to be because a lot of gamers have already exhausted a lot of their resources on buying the plethora of games that were released in the recent weeks. I think that Prince of Persia will have a lot of appeal with regards to new and casual gamers and from the looks of things, is set to be quite an enjoyable experience. Prince of Persia hits local shelves this Friday.

When you think about the Xbox 360, two major exclusive titles always spring to mind, Gears of War and Halo 3. So what if you have just bought a console or have a friend who has just bought a console and you just cannot decided which one of the two is the must-have game that should grace the system. IGN have put together a great head to head video, pitting Gears of War 2 against Halo 3 in duel to the death. Which one is the definitive Xbox 360 title and the one that shouldn't be missed. With regards to multiplayer, from a local perspective I will say one thing. It is that here in South Africa, we need to stick together to play lag-free games. So out here it really is all about finding out what all your friends are playing and then getting that. It doesn't help if Gears is better or Halo is better because if you have no one to play with then it is no fun at all. You won't believe who won this comparison and by how much. Check it out.

If you, like me were one of the people that forked out a bunch of Microsoft Points to get your hands on the beat-em-up title Castle Crashers on Xbox Live, only to find out that the best part (online co-op) was plagued with connectivity and lag issues, then this is a bit of good news. There was no doubt that the biggest reason for anyone connected to Xbox Live to get the game was to experience the great arcade action that the game had to offer together with some friends. We all downloaded the game, started playing and were then hit with a ton of issues. This lead me to the decision to pretty much leave the game alone until a patch came out to fix it so that I could properly enjoy the experience that I had been looking forward to for so long. Problem is, that the patch has now taken over 3 months to arrive, so where is it and why are we all waiting so long? The guys at Xbox360Fanboy seem to feel the same way and so they got ahold of Behemoth to try and get some sort of answer with regards to the progress of the patch. Behemoth were happy to respond and have said the following: "We're working with Microsoft to get the title update out as quickly as we can. Sadly, we can't get into details about the certification process, but we've resolved the game's issues with data loss and networking in addition to other bugs. We can't really comment on the release yet as we're not allowed to talk about it because of Microsoft, but the update's release is definitely reaching the end of the process. We've received great support from our fans on our forums in identifying issues. That feedback has helped out a lot and we're really honored to have such an awesome group of fans in the community." Hopefully this means that the patch will be available in not too long (If we are lucky it will be before everyone goes on holiday) and we can all finally kick some ass online with our buddies.

The latest sales charts in from the UK have some interesting stories to tell. Call of Duty 5 is proving that the public doesn't really care who is developing the game and whether or not it is based in World War 2 again. The game appeals to many people and is accessible enough that a lot of consumers are all too happy to pick it up and give it a go. In the same vein, I am not too happy about the fact the Need for Speed: Undercover is sitting in second place. The fact that the game is still getting good sales is only going to let EA know more than ever that they can take huge shortcuts and make a really low quality game and still get away with massive sales due to a recognisable brand. What is really interesting is that Resistance 2, the supposedly almighty PS3 exclusive is only sitting at number 10. Why is that? Well, I was actually very interested to find out that Resistance 2 had only been on sale for a day when the chart was released, which means that the day one sales were probably looking pretty strong. It seems that the UK is also experiencing distribution issues so that may factor into the charts as well. It is interesting to see that so many other recent popular titles are not in the top 10 although it was interesting to see that even though it is so far down the line, Mario Kart Wii is sitting at a very respectable 4th place.

Oh yeah! Another Uncharted is coming. Uncharted really is living up to it's name with this new trailer that shows our hero Nathan Drake, in surroundings significantly different to those seen in the first game. The first Uncharted title was hugely successful and is arguably one of the best games to own on the Playstation 3 so I can't see any PS3 fans not liking what they see. GameInformer gives information saying that the new title has been named Uncharted: Among Thieves and " revolves around the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages." Something else that is interesting although I can see it having mixed reactions is that the game is now going to have a few different gameplay elements, namely " free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay." What do you guys think? Good, bad?

You know those moments in life when you suddenly realise everyone else knows somwthing you don’t? Like when you’re told to go ask little Suzy out even though everyone (but you) knows that little Suzy is going out with Billy Bob and doesn’t like you? No? Well… lets get back to gaming now shall we. This just in,  2 weeks …

You knew it couldn’t last forever and it looks like we have reached the end of the road here. Criterion has so far been absolutely fantastic in regards to giving away free DLC for Burnout Paradise but they do have salaries to pay and would obviously like to recoup some of their development costs.
