Can't wait to find out more about Natal, aren't you? After Microsoft's denial on the rumors of Natal's release date, we now get something more concrete as regards the release of new information for the said technology.

Koei has finally announced a US release date for the home console versions of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, setting it just a few days before the recently publicized UK launch.

Rumors came out last week pointing to the release info for Project Natal, which included the margin, the price, even a number of launch titles to be available. When asked for comment, Xbox UK exec Neil Thompson flatly dismissed the rumors, saying they "weren't accurate" and that the kitchen's still cooking as far as the Natal release is concerned.

Has your console failed you? Any lights of death showing up? CNET wanted to know, so gamers from the UK responded to the survey with their console stories in hand. Coming out on top of the failure rate stat is the Xbox 360, with 60% of the respondents reporting that theirs have displayed the dreaded RROD.

The United Kingdom will be joined by the Three Kingdoms once again, and with this new info, we know exactly when. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce have now been dated for the UK so those who'd like to slaughter officers on the consoles may want to hear this one out.

Pop quiz for all of you who already blazed through Modern Warfare 2's single-player campaign. You know who Ghost is? He's the guy with the badass skull mask, and word is he might be up for a game of his own.

We didn't think there could be any bigger news this week than the release of Modern Warfare 2. Apparently, we were all wrong. Dead wrong. Modern Warfare 2's thunder-stealer: Microsoft's banhammer.

A five-song AFI track pack is coming to Rock Band 's in-game music store next week along with one from '80s all-female band The Bangles. Handheld rockers are also getting two new tracks; one each from Dead Kennedys and Sleater-Kinney.

If Activision's internal estimates are to be believed, then the much-hyped, much-anticipated launch of Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC was successful as it was planned out to be, selling five million copies on its first day in North America and the UK combined.

Major Nelson has announced that by next week, all Xbox Live users will be able to start enjoying the new social networking apps being added to the Dashboard. More after the jump.
