mcThe demand may be significantly less than the previous week, but the PSP continues to outsell all the other gaming platforms in Japan. Selling second best is still the Wii, steadily closing the gap, while it's the PS3 taking bronze at the week's finish line.

wmWith War Machine standing side-by-side with Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, that makes two armored-up heroes fighting for the good guys. But what about the bad guys?

maAustralian gamers are overjoyed with the latest development in their crusade for an R18+ rating - the man who stood in their way is leaving his post. Earlier today, Attorney-General Michael Atkinson suprised everyone with his announcement that he is stepping down, leaving his seatvacant for "talented people on the Labor backbench."

vanilleHere's one more thing for Vanille to be all happy about - she and her crew of l'Cie have not only made a killing in the UK, but in the US as well. That said, Final Fantasy XIII has become the fastest-selling title in its esteemed franchise.

iphone_warrior_shortSquare Enix might be a huge name in the major gaming platforms, but they're still not top brass when it comes to the iPhone and iPod Touch. But with two Final Fantasies released, the FFXIII artbook, and an App Store-exclusive RPG on the way, they're clearly doing something about it, and from the looks of it, they're doing it right.

wiids_ww_shortFor the second week in a row, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime dropped another line that put him on the spotlight. The target? The PlayStation Move...again. So what's wrong with the competition this time, Reggie?

psstorebagThe problem with having a great batch like last week's is that the next one will pale in comparison, even if there are some goodies in this one as well. Yes, even in the PlayStation Store, there's such a thing as a tough act to follow. Either that, or I'm completely making this up.

digicomicsFor the third week in a row, the Comics Store will be updated with more vintage issues starring the superheroes before they were Hollywood icons. This week, the Sub-Mariner cameos as he joins the Evil Mutants, while twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will also make an appearance. Remember who their dad is? Maybe a scroll through this batch will refresh your memory.

rhCompared to the usual sword-wielding powerhouse, there aren't a lot of iconic archers in gaming. Let's not forget about ol' Robin Hood though. He's getting an iPhone game and he'll be robbing the rich iPhone owners and give the proceeds to the poor developers. Bad blurb, I know, but you get it.

xigRPGs aren't exactly the Xbox 360's strong point, but thanks to an independent developer, the platform gets one more. Coming soon to Xbox Live Indie Games is Breath of Death VII: The Beginning.

wkc2We haven't had much time with White Knight Chronicles yet, and here we are, staring at the sequel - well, at least for the Japanese. Famitsu's on top of it and Level 5 reveals that White Knight Chronicles: Awakening of Light and Darkness is ready and looking forward to a release in summer later this year.

dissDissidia: Final Fantasy made quite a lot of noise during its run, and how could it not? Having the heroes and villains of FF in one game is a spanking good formula for Final Fangasm, setting the gameplay part for another debate. At any rate, if you're up for another serving, there's hope yet - Tetsuya Nomura Tweets that he'll try his best to get a sequel.

ps3_sWhen it comes to gaming, nothing tops the PS3 in weight. By weight, I don't mean the metaphorical equivalent of power, performance, or whatever. I mean actual weight, y'know, like how much it'll hurt if it fell on your toe.

ringBack in December, we told you about "Chaos Rings", a trademark spotted in Europe filed by Square Enix. The prolific RPG publisher has now announced what it was all about, and it's an RPG coming only to the iPhone - Chaos Rings.

xboxBecause the Xbox 360 sports a DVD drive, sizable games such as Final Fantasy XIII will require multiple discs, owing to the fact that DVDs don't have the storage capacity of a dual-layer Blu-ray disc. But if you ask Stephen McGill, Microsoft UK's director of Xbox and Entertainment, the lack of a Blu-ray drive is actually an advantage.

inkI'm not Japanese so there's no way I can fully understand the culture behind the Yakuza ink. I've read about it, talked about it, but I'll never get the same acculturation that a Japanese has unless I live there. I can, however, admire the tattoos with such fanboyistic enthusiasm. Fortunately, the European PlayStation Blog has a post on the ink of Yakuza 3.
