This week is like multiplatform game week. Pretty much everything that drops this week for both the handhelds and the home consoles are multiplatform: Wanted: Weapons of Fate, The Wheelman, Legends of WrestleMania... Looks like the only console to get some exclusives this week is the DS. But enough chitchat. Let's get right on to the release schedules!

A good number of games play well on both consoles and PCs, but we all know that certain games belong to one or the other. RTSs, for example, are largely for the PC. The dev of Championship Manager though, believes that strategy games don't belong on consoles because he believes that console owners "don't want a game you've got to think about too much."

It's banhammer time! In order to streamline their system with Master Accounts, it looks like Electronic Arts is also resorting to some strict measures along the way. Upon explaining the new Command & Conquer forum rules, forum admin eaapoc said that getting banned in the forums now gets you banned also in the game. Oh, not just a game, but effectively all other EA games (which require your Master Account) too.

You'd think that a publishing company will fight tooth and nail just to maintain a game title. Apparently, that's not sound business practice, as we learned from John Riccitiello. If something's not meeting quality expectations - which should be high - then there should be no qualms about dropping it off the cliff -- for good.

Electronic Arts has confirmed to Kotaku that development for Tiberium has ceased. Yep, the Command & Conquer FPS title that's been scheduled for release on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC will never see the light of day. And why is that? Because it did not deliver the appropriate level of quality given the resources and time put into it.

Tricia Helfer! Battlestar Galactica's Cylon 6! In Spider-man: Web of Shadows! Voicing Black Cat! Need I say more? Her spine might be tingling red in the Sci-Fi TV series, this time around, spider-senses are nothing but aglow. See the video interview in the full article.

Oh yes, a lovely assistant while fighting for the Allied Forces will be coming back but no longer in the form of the Lt. Eva Lee (Athena Massey). No sirree. Electronic Arts decided it was best to turn in a new face for the voice behind the strategic interface of the new Allied Resistance, and they settled on one beaut you'd best recognize as Lisa Hunter of British television soap opera Hollyoaks. *clap clap* Hey! Focus! Full story for more on the Red Alert 3's new  Lt. Eva.

We're sure a lot of you strategy fans out there are excited to see just what The Empire of the Rising Sun brings to the Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 (PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) table.

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath (Xbox 360, PC) is getting its first update and EA wants to celebrate it this weekend. In addition to the enhanced online experience that Patch 1.01 will bring in, EA has lined up a bunch of cool activities for both Xbox 360 and PC players. Take a peek at the full article and get in on the details.
