Set to drop at the end of September for PS3 isNinja Gaiden Sigma 2, Tecmo’s latest. If you’re hot for that, you’ll probably be hot for the limited cooperative action to be included in the game. We say “limited” because you’ll only do the co-op thing in special missions. Watch in our video below as Ryu is joined by Momiji for an example of this. Because of the crazy-assed dynamic camera ofNGS2, poor Momiji is left playing caught up....

Nothing screams “mature” like the color black, and Nintendo Japan is taking note. Starting this year in Japan, the company will start packing all “Cero C” rated games (for those 15-years-old and up) in black boxes. This is addition to the gigantic “CERO C” label already found on the game’s box art, and would also apply to D (17+) and Z (18+) titles. According toSiliconera, it looks like Nintendo’s first M-rated title in Japan,Zangeki no Reginleiywill get the black box treatment....

I have to admit the whole DSi camera thing doesn’t sound that appealing, at least not at first. I do carry my DS a lot, but I’d rather take my camera along in another pocket than take a poopy photo with something comparable to cell phone camera quality. The only game we knew the DSi would be camera-compatible with was downloadable versions ofBrain Age, so what else would it be used for?...

Namco Bandai is celebrating Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary by releasing a game for the iPhone/iPod touch that’s absolutely nothing like the original!Pac-Match Partyis a match-3 puzzle game where players will match things (three of them) in order to have Pac-Man chomp through a maze to escape ghosts. A similar version of the game has also been released as a Flash game,which you can play here. But not on your iPhone, because Apple and Adobe are in a fight or something....

Boy oh boy, I’m sure everyone has had their fair share ofHalostuff for today. I sure have and that’s coming from a lover of the series. Regardless of that, I still had to share the latest episode from the live actionHaloseries. It picks up from right wherethey last left offand shows even more neat things from theHaloverse. As always, the level of detail is amazing. You don’t think just how bad the Spiker rounds are in the game until you watch the bit in this video where the Medic has to saw off one of the rounds from a Marine....

So Jake “my last name sucks to type” Gyllenhaal looks pretty damn good on thePrince of Persiamovie poster. It’s a good pose and the outfit looks great. The tagline isn’t that bad, either! The second poster features the sexy Gemma Arterton, who also looks pretty good. The problem with the posters, though, is the fking font. Look at that sh*t. What the fk am I even looking at? You could make a white guy look Persiany, but you can’t make the damn typeface look Persian?...

Well this confirms it: Bizarre Creations would like to ensure that I don’t get anything done. Ever. As if it weren’t bad enough that I were being trashed talked about myGeometry Wars Retro Evolved 2scoresvia Twitter, the developer hasnow put the leaderboards online. So now I can access my scores right in my web browser, the place in which I do nearly all of my work. Apologies to my boss in advance: I’m not getting anything done today....

The weather’s beeninsaneup here today. Gale force winds and the standard-issue western Washington rain dump made for a gnarly afternoon in Bellingham. That didn’t stop the campers from lining up outside of Best Buy as early as 6:00 PM (perhaps much earlier), pitching massive multi-room tents and deploying arrays of propane heaters. I can’t say I’d take the same risk, myself, but then again, I’m not as hardcore anymore as I was when the PS2 was launched....

SimBin doesn’t mess around when it comes to supporting their products. A colossal title update forRACE Prowent live a few days ago. It addresses both multiplayer and single player issues that members of theRACE Procommunity have voiced to the studio and Atari. We weren’t kidding about the size. There are entirely too many tweaks, enhancements and fixes to list on this side of the post. Hit the jump to see everything, but first check out what we consider the biggies:...

Rumors have been flying around the ‘net lately concerningBanjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Boltsand the alleged use of Microsoft’s mysterious motion controller. Rare is currently denying the rumors and stating that thread comments need to stop being taken seriously. Rare’s George Kelion had this to say to Destructoid regarding theBKmotion control rumors: “There’s no truth to theBanjomotion control rumour.Banjohas been designed to be played using a gamepad from the outset. People shouldn’t take rumours that gestate in comments sections so seriously....

Pre-orders for Insomniac’s upcomingRatchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Timeare going to have you making some tough choices. You see, there area lot of pre-order bonuses; four of them, in fact. Thing is, they’re each exclusive to different retailers. There’s a lot of this stuff — and it’s all pretty cool — so hit the jump for the details. The “Discovery Package” (from GameStop) is a special level that re-creates the layout of the Insomniac offices, including content that didn’t make the final game....

To those who doubt the greatness ofDynasty Warriorsas a franchise, I present the following evidence. I believe it proves my case entirely. Seriously, this is an excellent video. Even if you don’t likeDynasty Warriors, I implore you to watch. You won’t know why it has happened, but it is definitely a thing that has happened.

You may recall an earlier post about how theResident Evil games on the 3DS willallow you to move and shoot. I was none too pleased about the news. To me, the controls of theResident Evilseries are big part of what makes the games so special. I know some people think thatResident Evilhas “bad” controls, but “bad” and “limiting” are not the same thing. It looks like Capcom still knows that the “negative space” in a game’s control scheme can be important....
