HERE IS THE NEWS:

Sonic 4 video leaks to the world. SEGA manage to remove it all quick smart. Initial verdict from those who saw it: it looked like the old game with shinier graphics. No shit...

On the topic of SEGA, Aliens vs Predator gets a batch of generally average reviews. A 6 from Eurogamer and a whole heap of sadness at that fact. General opinion in other mags was that it was half decent single player fun but no great shakes online, an echo shared on a thread on here last week regarding the demo.

Otherwise, not much. Heavy Rain comes out at last to good reviews. Final Fantasy 7 is said to be unlikely to ever me remade. Nintendo are now mere days away from a 'major announcement'. Bungie apologise for ODST but say Reach will be amazing.. honest. NBA Jam gets a reboot and looks like fun.

What have you been digging?

I'm playing Metroid Prime at home and occasionally GTA: Chinatown Wars on the iPhone. The latter is very good, is a tad tricky to control / see at times. The earlier is awesome, already my joint favourite Wii game I reckon midway through, even if there is A LOT of backtracking.
