Electronic Arts has announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be getting a Limited Edition version too. The good news is it won't cost you a penny more than the standard edition. It'll come with six customization unlocks that give players an advantage in multiplayer matches at the same price as the standard edition. Details past the jump.

Remember those scenes in Minority Report where Tom Cruise was using his super awesome computer? It looked so cool back then and I was wondering when I would be able to surf the net, switch through windows, and click on links all with the use of my hands. From what Ubisoft exec Michael de Plater said in an interview with VG247, that technology is well within reach, and it's called Project Natal.

This week is heavy on the Wii. We've got publishers and first party devs all looking to pack more games for the Wii.

Microsoft is hyping up their presence at the upcoming E3 event in SanFran next month, with boss Steve Ballmer proclaiming at the Dallas Regional Chamber that we better "Pay attention to the stuff we're announcing in the next month on Xbox."

Here's a cool fact about Smart Bomb Interactive's brand new Snoopy game, Snoopy WWI Flying Ace, it owes more to McGuyver, The A-Team and the Lego series than it does to Warhawk. Could this hint at some sort of vehicle or weapon creation and customisation aspect to the game? Are there plans for DLC? Who would win in a knock down, drag out fight to the finish between Snoopy and Lucy?

Controlling robots via remote control isn't a new thing, but it certainly is a great feat to do a homebrewed robot remote control application for the Nintendo DS. And what makes this program, the PekeePilot, even more remarkable is that there is just not one, but six ways of controlling the Pekee robot (including motion sensor!).

Those who are following the Manhunt 2 news probably know by now that, despite the fact that the controversial game (by Rockstar Studios for the Wii) will be released in the US (albeit after a cut or two), UK's BBFC is still standing by its decision to ban the game.

But why? Considering that one of the Wii's selling points is adding more depth to the gaming experience by letting gamers simulate actual movements in game using the Wiimote, some gamers think that being able to act out violent blows more realistically using the Wii remote's motion sensor is the reason behind BBFC's insistence to ban the controversial title.

When asked about this theory, BBFC has denied banning the game due to its motion-sensing capabilities. Said BBFC's senior examiner Gianni Zamo:

Under certain circumstances and in certain contexts it is possible that motion-sensing devices might have an effect on category decisions. It is not a prime consideration for at the moment and has not affected any Wii games we have passed so far.

Zamo also said that Rockstar Studios' Manhunt 2 wasn't singled out for prompting gamers to perform realistic motions when carrying out acts of torture, the PSP and PS2 versions of the game are in fact banned in the UK as well. "Indeed, motion-sensing devices are nothing new," Zamo remarked.

Just about a year ago, we reported about Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata's intention to market the Wii and the DS to mothers, the elderly, and to young women, saying that "It's a challenge, like trying to sell cosmetics to men."  Well what do you know, Nintendo managed to fulfill that promise, just a little more than a year after they made the announcement.

Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter said that Nintendo's new diverse games such as Wii Sports helped the motion sensor-driven console to capture the new gaming market, and leaving its rivals Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox chasing in its wake. "It really is fun," said Pachter about Wii Sports. "Anyone can do it."

Avid Wii gamers (and there's a lot of them) constantly hold Wii parties, and even recruited the help of party planning online service Evite in starting up even more Wii parties from birthdays to family reunions.

Nintendo's handheld, the DS, is also basking in its own share of success. Games such as Brain Age were targeted towards senior citizens, while Nintendogs became a main staple of DS-toting pre-teen girls.

Even Pachter's wife is addicted to Nintendo's pet dog simulation. According to the analyst:

I know before the girls got Nintendogs, my wife had never played a video game in her life and she was completely opposed on moral and educational grounds to my kids even picking up a DS. Now she thinks it is the cutest thing she has ever seen.

With that kind of success in their hands, the idea of Nintendo being able to sell cosmetics to men doesn't sound as impossible as before.
