Electronic Arts have announced that the critically acclaimed first-person shooter multiplayer game Battlefield 1943 will be available on July 8 on Xbox Live marketplace for 1200 MS points and on July 9 on the Playstation Network for US$ 15.00.

The PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade launch of Sega's online-enabled downloadable version of Gunstar Heroes has been dated for a post-E3 appearance along with the XBLA-only Sega Vintage Collection 2. Details after the jump.

Apart from the Metal Gear feature I posted about earlier, Famitsu also scored an interview with Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura. The Final Fantasy Versus XIII director shared a few bits of info about the new Final Fantasy games currently in development.

I actually did a double-take on this press release right here. Reading the title, I was like, "no way" and then "yes way" and then "whooooa." Bethesda Softworks has confirmed that the Fallout 3 DLC, which have been reaffirmed by Pete Hines to be exclusive for the Xbox 360 and PC, will now also be coming to the PS3 starting this June! And what's more is that not one - but two new DLC add-ons are planned after Broken Steel for all three platforms!

Can't wait to get your hands on Fight Night Round 4 (Xbox 360, PS3)? Thanks to EA Sports, your prayers have been answered. Starting today, May 14th, you can now try out a playable three-round demo of the game on Xbox  Live and the PlayStation Network. The catch is that you should pre-order the game via GameStop.

This one's a limited offer right here! Kramez of Capcom Unity has revealed that they are giving a price drop to Bionic Commando: Rearmed for the PSN and XBL, in anticipation of Nathan "Radd" Spencer's first 3D adventure, Bionic Commando on Xbox 360 and PS3 .

It looks like Sega's not only targeting Xbox Live Arcade for another Gunstar Heroes re-release. Ratings from both the ESRB and PEGI have hinted at a possible PlayStation Network stint for the Genesis shooter.

Getting to play a clown in a wrestling match? Definitely a novelty. THQ is priming five new wrestlers to bring to the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 arena this week, and one of them is a clown. (Man, I can still remember Doink's entrance song - that freaky bastard.) Info for DLC pack #2 in the full article.

This one comes via press release from Capcom: they're announcing that the demo for Bionic Commando will be launching on Xbox Live very soon. Though there was no specific date mentioned, they promise to make it available "in the coming weeks." Considering that the game will hit retail on May 19 for both the Xbox 360 and PS3, the demo could not be that far off indeed. Strangely, the same press release doesn't make mention of a demo for the PlayStation Network... Hmm...

It was a tough week, alright, with the QJ team having to contend with a lot of fakers, a last-minute faking ourselves, and me personally now having to protect myself against some wicked magic of the black kind for leading people to believe that now is the best time to buy a Phantasy Star Portable - cos you know, news broke out that the PSP Brite has finally been hacked -- on April Fool's day. Yeah-huh, being fun sure is a lot of hard work. Thank goodness we've got juicy, exciting news from our friends in the gaming industry to balance it all out. And we've got them bundled up all nice and warm for you in ish #66 .
