It's barely been a week since the hotly-contested, highly-anticipated sequel to Valve Corporation's zombie-survival game, Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC), has been released, and already, we're hearing talks of a sequel to the sequel. Are we going to hear of another round of boycotts, then?

The older entries in the Sonic series have been re released so many times that hardcore collectors probably have whole rooms dedicated to them by now. It doesn't look like Sega will be stopping the rehash train any time soon, however.

Sega has some extra good news for our gamer friends across the pond. Sega Europe has put together a special edition bundle for Bayonetta that will be available come the game's January 8 launch. Details past the jump.

So what transpired in the world of Sony's PS3 this week? Nate Drake's newest adventure is certainly off to a good start. And then there's word that the PS3 is continuing its newfound sales spurt in the land down under. Oh, and here's a no-brainer: rumblings about new entries in two of the PS3's biggest franchises have started to trickle out from the rumor mill. All in all, another good week for the PS3. Well, except maybe for that one particular console they threw into the Bravia. It didn't seem to get too banged up though.

Yes, the PSP Go is still making headlines. The problem is, the main one we heard this week wasn't exactly flattering. The Go has been getting a mostly lukewarm reception since its launch earlier this month, and the trend continues in Australia. There's a silver lining, though: overall PSP sales have reportedly gone up since the Go hit retail. Sony most probably have software sales to thank for that. Oh, and maybe the Go's making people buy PSP-3000s. Just speculating. For the facts, hit the jump and check out this week's PSP Weekend Warrior.

In stark contrast to the PSP Go's dismal first-week sales in Australia, the PS3 has been performing admirably in the region. Since the PS3 Slim's September 3 launch, the console has been outselling both the Xbox 360 and Wii.

I don't know what hurts more - the fact that they just obliterated two pieces of perfectly fine hardware, or that they did so just to show they have lots more where those came from. Either way, watching this one had a bit of sting into it. The guys at Sony Australia, who apparently have thousands of Bravias lying around, loaded a catapult with a PS3 Slim and launched it straight into the beautiful black screen. Ouch.

Sony has called the Australian release of the PSP Go a "soft launch" amid low sales numbers. In its first week, the PSP Go managed to move only around 1,000 units in the region.

It would seem that Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC) just keeps surprising Valve. "I thought Left 4 Dead 2 would get the same treatment as Left 4 Dead 1 (Xbox 360 and PC)," said Gabe Newell. "So I was a little surprised [by the decision]." He would be referring to the recent refusal of Australia's OFLC to classify the zombie sequel. No matter, though, they're out to get that approval, and yes, they have officially appealed the decision.

Here's a bit of semi-good news for Australian gamers. Even with Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC) effectively banned in Australia, Valve is not giving up. They're still in the process of making sure that gamers in the region will get something come the game's supposed launch date.
