Ninja Gaiden Sigma's Rachel may have failed to reach everyone's expectations as the "world's greatest female action character," but it seems that Sonia, the leading lady for Ninja Gaiden 2, will be awesome. So awesome, she won't be playable in Tecmo and Team Ninja's upcoming gorefest. More details in the full article.

Media Create has revealed their weekly software sales list for June 11-17, and it's got some pretty interesting titles on top. Bandai Namco's RPG entry to the Xbox 360, Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream held nothing back as it took 2nd place off the bat. Tecmo doesn't disappoint neither as Ninja Gaiden Sigma took 3rd.

DS titles are still dominating the list, with 18 of 30 coming to the handheld. That said, it's finally looking good for Sony and Microsoft at least. Sure, only Call of Duty 3 is the other PS3 entry at 14 while Trusty Bell is alone, but we should be able to agree that some life is breathing into these consoles that Nintendo left behind.

Without further ado, here's the list:

01. [NDS] Practice by Observing: DS Observation Training (Nintendo) - 63,439 / 220,810
02. [360] Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream (Bandai-Namco) - 49,334 / NEW
03. [PS3] Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Tecmo) - 46,307 / NEW
04. [WII] Wii Sports (Nintendo) - 34,223 / 1,721,611
05. [NDS] More Brain Age (Nintendo) - 24,901 / 4,374,525
06. [WII] Wii Play (Nintendo) - 22,161 / 1,399,060
07. [NDS] New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo) - 19,297 / 4,539,176
08. [NDS] Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 (Nintendo) - 16,879 / 156,867
09. [NDS] More English Training (Nintendo) - 15,855 / 288,570
10. [NDS] Brain Age (Nintendo) - 15,405 / 3,467,764

Everybody's favorite wall-crawler is still here to stay, as we find Spider Man 3 the most consistent name found among this week's GameFly game rental charts. But while Activision's title based on the movie holds its top post for the PS3 and Xbox 360 console, a quick scan on the rest of this week's top picks indicate that Spidey's Wii port has folded, with Super Paper Mario still holding fast to the console's top picks.

The same goes for the PSP scene, with Spider-Man 3 seated at the tail end of the portable's top five - the number one post being held by a phalanx of a demand for 300: March to Glory. Pokemania also appears to have defeated the Marvel icon at the DS scene, with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl dominating the first two slots.
