Sequels, sequels, sequels. Lots of talk about those this week. While most other companies are busy making sure they get to release a big-name game with a "2" after its title, Media Molecule is preferring the opposite, opting for a sequel-less yet DLC-supported approach for LittleBigPlanet. Speaking of, it seems the PS3 price cuts are also doing wonders for software sales when it comes to sequels, or so an OTX report tells us.

Better practice your Klingon, Star Trek fans. It turns out that "first quarter of 2010" release window that Cryptic Games gave Star Trek Online was right on the money. The upcoming MMO has been confirmed for a February release in both North America and Europe.

Good news, PS3 owners. DICE and Electronic Arts have officially set a date for Battlefield: Bad Company 2's PS3 beta: November 19. PC gamers, on the other hand, will get in on an open beta in December. There will also be a demo launching early next year. Beta details and an announcement trailer are available after the jump.

When a chain with 6,200 stores says that they've never had a game with as much pre-orders, that's gotta say a lot about how much demand there is for a game. Such were the words of GameStop's executive VP for merchandising and marketing, Tony Bartel, about Modern Warfare 2. In fact, the anticipation for the game is so massive that they're expecting the game's release to be "the biggest entertainment launch of all time."

Yes, there will be a beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) or at  least DICE has hinted at it. GameStop, however, has jumped the gun and posted a supposed date for the release of the said beta -- only to take it down later.

Now here's some awesome swag you'll find hard to resist. How awesome? Try godly awesome. It's official - Sony has announced the Ultimate Edition as well as some pre-order bonuses for God of War III.

Have any plans getting some FF on with your Wii? If you're planning on getting Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, then you might as well pick the right crystal you want to bear. I'm talking about the differet pre-order bonuses that you can catch from different retailers. Just like with Gran Turismo PSP back then, each retailer is offering a different kind of swag, so read up and see what they've got.

Here's the very first TV spot for Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC) -- and GameStop's pre-order bonus offer. Yep, it's not just about the games now, it's also about which store can give you something exclusively -- and what that store could give to you exclusively.

Timbaland's Beaterator is making some wicked beats, and you should have no problem getting in on the groove, especially now that GameStop has slashed off US$ 20 to its price tag.

Money sure has been hard to come by lately, and if lack of upgrade dough has left your PC a little dry, then you'd better take a look at these system requirements for Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) - that is if you have plans of playing it on the PC.
