Man, the ESRB should start charging for their PR services. Their “warnings” have done a lot to get me excited for videogames over the past few days. This time though, the news isn’t all good. According to thisESRB description,Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All Starswill definitely cap at 26 characters. Count the playable cast of the original game (22), minus the fat genie (21) plus thepreviously revealedFrank West and Tekkaman Blade (23) and thestrongly rumoredMega Man Zero, Yatterman #2, andGatchaman‘s Joe (26); and you have the game’s full cast....

UFC president Dana White may be abandoning an earlier threat, but you can rest assured that there’s no love lost between him and EA. As we saw last summer, Hell hath no fury like aDana White scorned: after claiming that Electronic Arts laughed him off when he approached them years ago with the idea of a mixed martial arts videogame, White took his business to THQ and hit it big withUFC Undisputed 2009....

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Yes, this week’s UK Charts are here once again to remind us all that the British public can’t stop buyingMario Kart Wii. This week,Guitar Hero 5has been knocked off the top slot after just a week by EA’sNeed for Speed: Shift. Looks like EA called shotgun on that chart position. Wetdebuts at number six, which is surprising, but other than it’s the usual run of games you’ve come to expect....

Voxels are back! (Did they ever truly leave?) A neat-looking arena shooter calledVoxatronpopped up recently, and uh, just watch the video already. Lexaloffle Gamesdescribes it as“mostly justRobotronset in a 3D destructible world with goofy creatures,” and is aiming for a release later this year on PC, Mac, and according to the trailer, “+.” That means potentially more platforms, I guess? We’ll be keeping an eye on this one, rest assured....

Forget to make a reservation and find yourself bolting to a 24 hour Wal-Mart at 3 am? Be warned: Reports have been flooding in that Wal-Mart is selling theGuitar Hero 3bundle withsome slight alterations. What kind of alterations, you may ask? Well, it’s nothing big, really. Just a minor change to the equipment. The guitar contained within just happens to be the old one fromGuitar Hero 2. Ahem. Well. Yes....

When I heard that aWarriors Orochigame was coming to the PS3, I was quite excited. Finally, a current-gen iteration of the biggest and most interestingWarriorsgame Koei has ever made. However, the disappointing news is thatWarriors Orochi Zis not a brand newOrochititle, it’s merely the firstWarriors Orochiand its sequel glued together. One new playable character is confirmed, along with another non-playable one. In addition, you will be able to choose your own characters for the storyline modes and not be limited to a select few generals....

The new Gorillaz album recently released and the newly revamped Web site features a couple of games for Gorillaz fans! The first part of the game recreates the “Stylo” music video by having players race through levels inSpy Hunterfashion. The gameplay gets changed up halfway through as players take control of Cyborg Noodle to take out a cop giving chase. In the second act, Murdoc has to rescue Cyborg Noodle and 2D underwater....

Patricia Hernandez brought us adetailed look at some of theearly bits ofGears of War 3’scampaign. Along with her preview came some new screenshots and we couldn’t help but notice one new screen in particular. What the hell is wrong with Anya Stroud’s face?! Did Marcus just let out abig fart next to her? What do you think they’re all looking out to make such a gross expression?

Above you will see a video ofWorld of Keflingswhich demonstrates the musical cannons in the game. So, basically, looks to me to be a more complicated version ofMario Paint. That’s not a complaint, mind you. I’ve whiled away many afternoons just cruising from one tune produced inMario Paintto the next. From the demonstration in the video, things could get downright ridiculous once players start mucking about using the game to make music themselves....

THQ sends word thatWWE Smackdwn Vs. Raw 2010is now both a Greatest Hits and Player’s Choice title in North America.

It seems like I’m making mini themes out of YTMND Thursday. Last week, I had a heavy influence ofTeam Fortress 2related YTMNDs. This week, theStreet Fighterseries takes over. I don’t know how anyone thought a School Bus fightingStreet Fighterswas a good idea, but it works out pretty nicely — at least in regards to Akuma. My favorite this week is easily the Serious Cat/Street FighterYTMND. There’s no way someone cannot laugh at that....
