Need for Speed is not the only storied EA series to receive a reboot.
In the same recent conference call with EA Games president, Frank Gibeau, it was revealed that EA planned to revitalize yet another series.
The game is available on Xbox Live Arcade today with a PlayStation Network release to follow.
Tecmo announced yesterday that in a partnership with A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games, they would be publishing their arcade-style basketball game, NBA Unrivaled, for both Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.
Cing's latest will come out alongside the long-running Monster Rancher series this March.
During this year's TGS, Tecmo announced a brand new title, Again: Eye of Providence for the DS. The title was in development at Cing, a company popular for their point-and-click adventures, specifically the Another Code series and Hotel Dusk. When it was announced, Tecmo had only announced for release in Japan.
So, you're telling me that the whole point of the game is to wander around and pick fights with people, THEN beat the crap out of them!? Sign me up!
Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is the latest title from Atlus, a title they have done quite a bit of promotion for leading up to its official release. As a matter of fact, the Badass Rumble subtitle was a direct result of fan input. Since then, Atlus has continued to push the game with a variety of humorous productions centering on what a Bancho is, how to be one, and memoirs of one. Given all the hype, you should be wondering what it's all about.
The sequel picks up where the original left off, but does it carry all of the characteristics that made the original so great?
This generation has been dominated by first person shooters, the latest of which is Activision and Infinity Ward's, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game keeps to the formula established by the preceding title, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The storyline picks up where the last one left off, however, this time players assume the role of Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, a member of Task Force 141. The task force is sponsored by the global community and carries a simple mission: Stop Vladimir Makarov, the leader of an Ultranationalist Russian organization.
According to the developers, such a title would be counterproductive for their community efforts.
Though LittleBigPlanet has been a massively successful endeavor for both Sony and Media Molecule, it appears that the game is not slated to receive a sequel at any point in the near future.

Rating Boards are typically a great source for new information. With digitally released games, they tend to list rating data well ahead of any official announcement. Just last week, the German Rating Board revealed that Phoenix Wright would be coming to WiiWare. It appears PEGI have done the same this week, but instead it is Michael Jackson's Moonwalker that will see Wii release.
Last week's anagram spells out something unexpected.
Late last week, Square Enix issued a Final Fantasy XIII press release with a cryptic anagram. "A Henchmen Inventor Tent Unto." While it took a few days to crack, dedicated fans have finally figured it out.
Yet again, Nicalis has submitted the title to Nintendo.
