And now for our weekly report on the hardware sales from Japan. Media Create has released the numbers for the week of November 9th through November 15th. Interesting results this week. Check them out in the full article.

That's not a typo on the title, you read that right. "New" and "PS2" can still be used in the same sentence, without being a smart-ass. The PS3 has just turned three, and its nine-year-old older brother is still making progress - believe it or not, Sony has just officially launched the PlayStation 2 in Brazil.

The homebrew coders from the ScummVM Team has finally release version 1.0.0 of their classic multi-platform point-and-click adventure games emulator. The latest ScummVM update is said to be one of the best release of the emulator so far. Details after the jump.

It's numbers time again! The latest hardware sales figures from Japan's Media Create has been release, and competition is getting tighter as the PS3 inches closer and closer to the top, needing only about a thousand more units before overtaking the long-reigning DSi.

Quantic Dream's David Cage was never really shy about professing his undying love for Sony's PlayStation 3. In fact, any chance he gets, he'll unabashedly rave about it. Like at the Developer Session at the Eurogamer Expo in London today. Here he reiterates yet again his already well-known sentiment: Heavy Rain just won't work on any other console.

The Xbox 360 is keeping those third party devices at bay and those who intend to make any would literally need Microsoft's seal of approval. X-Gaming does not have such a seal. So instead of knocking on Steve Ballmer's door to get a "yes" and later find Major Nelson clarifying it as a "no", X-Gaming found a way to bypass security to enable the use of their X-Arcade stick for the Xbox 360. The irony of it all? It uses a PS2 adapter.

We have a rather sizeable haul of new games this week. The cream of the crop includes such titles as Tekken 6, DJ Hero, Forza Motorsport 3, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, and that undying (not undead -- no, that would actually be cool) Petz series. Dig in and see which games fit your tastes and budget.

Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that they're bringing another old title back in the market. The PS2 classic, Shadow of Destiny, will breathe new life on the PSP.

The parade of From Software's PS2-to-PSP ports continues in Japan. With Armored Core 3 Portable already out, it's time for Armored Core: Silent Line Portable to take the spotlight. Check out the game's new trailer videos after the jump.

A lot of games are coming out this week. A veritable rainbow of releases, if you will. If we scale it, the red part (ROY G BIV, remember?) would include big titles like Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for PSP, Borderlands, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 and FIFA Soccer 10. On the violet side (more like bruise purple, really) we have the Charm Girls Club games and another Imagine [Insert Occupation Here] release. Hit the jump and let's get this ball rolling.
