Just hours ago, Steve Harris Tweeted, and now I'm all excited. The founder of Electronic Gaming Monthly has already spoken of his mag's return to the scene, and thanks to his latest Twitter update, we now know that plans are in motion to bring the great gaming mag back by December 1st.

Gaming mag EGM is on its way back to printing and store shelves now that its founder, Steve Harris, has re-acquired its trademarks and publishing rights. According to the press release, Harris entered an agreement with Ziff Davis Media and the former now has plans to re-launch Electronic Gaming Monthly in the second half of 2009. More after the jump.

The time of controversy and lawsuits have passed. Team Ninja has moved on and so have Tomonobu Itagaki and his crew of ex-Team Ninja members. Teaming up with young but skilled engineers, the new team is now hard at work on a new game. Speaking with James Mielke of 1UP, Itagaki and his right-hand men spill a few droplets of detail (and scotch) to give us an idea of what they're up to.

Resident Evil 5 may mark the end of an era. Producer Jun Takeuchi says that the game is "the last of its kind" and that "a reboot is in order" for Resident Evil 6. Completely new gameplay, or completely new story? Will we at least finally be able to shoot while mobile?

It's a sad day in gaming to see EGM go. The mag has officially ceased publication as of this month. EGM, which was one of the longest-running video game mags around, will release its "final" issue online. Go to the full article to see the issue's awesome cover, which will sadly never be printed.

If you've been watching out for Watchmen: The End is Nigh, then you can catch it on EGM's latest issue. You can also get more info on today's hottest titles, like LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2, and more.

1UP's James Mielke was ranting three weeks ago regarding the blatant use of the words "Call of", "Rise of", "Empire," "Nations," and "Ops" in game titles. (He was talking about Call of Juarez.) Well, we've lived through this type of stereotyping, but it doesn't mean we can't make fun of it right? Makes us wonder, do devs consult some sort of list when thinking of a title?

Anyway, the guys at GameSetWatch set out to come up with the "most stereotypical video game name... evah". The turnout was pretty crazy: Simon Carless (Game Developer/Gamasutra EIC) "Quaternion: The Beige-ning", Jill Duffy (Game Developer managing editor) came up with "Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Call Of Duty: Revenge Of Duty", and Brandon Sheffield (Game Developer features editor) gave the hilarious "Pauly Shore's XTREME Nude Wakeboarding II: The Awakening". The winner was Frank Cifaldi (Gamasutra features editor) with "WWII: World War II".

My fellow QJ staffers gave a few bits of their own. Victor B. came up with two - "Space Shooter: The Star Galaxy Trek Wars of Gradius" and "Final Generic Fantasy RPG Quest XX" - while our researcher R gave me this - "Death Ride Alliance: Blade War XIII". We're sure you have your own game title cliche and we'd love to hear about it. The more trite, the better.

Ready, set, go!
