There were already a few signs hinting that Atari was having some trouble holding on to the Dragon Ball franchise. A couple of years ago, the publisher clashed with FUNimation over the game license. Namco Bandai announced last month that it had secured publishing rights to three new entries in the franchise. Today, Namco Bandai has announced that it's finishing what it started.

After being confirmed for a 2009 release back in March, we've now narrowed down the waiting period for Sega's "Modern Day Spy-RPG", Alpha Protocol (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC). The release date: October 6th 2009 for North America.

Heads up, skate fans. The largest-pursed event in the history of pro skating is coming soon to Skate 2 (Xbox 360, PS3) as downloadable content. Adding online and offline gameplay modes to the game, the Maloof Money Cup DLC is gonna bring the high-profile competition straight to your consoles.

Sony has announced that it is expanding its Official License Program (OLP) to peripheral manufacturers in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe/ PAL territories. Details after the jump.

Just the other day, Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman? What Did I do to Deserve This? got dated for North America. Wondering why they didn't say anything for other regions? Not worry, cos NIS America has confirmed that European and PAL gamers will soon get their hands on the game as well.

Yep, apart from the European bundle we've already seen, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite -- well, in this case, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G -- is getting two new limited edition PSP bundles in its country of origin.

After the earlier helping of Tekken 6 screenshots, here's some more good news from Namco Bandai. They've finally given out official release dates for the game's PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions along with details on some pre-order goodies.

So you wanted a new GTA for the PSP, huh? Rockstar's got your back. They've just announced that a PSP version of the critically acclaimed DS title Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be released this fall.

Yep, you're not imagining it. That's really an ESRB page showing its rating for Wild Arms 2, and coming to the PlayStation Network to be made available to both the PS3 and the PSP.

Namco Bandai's old-school arcade game collection for the PSN will finally arrive in North America six months after it hit Japan. A new Namco Bandai Home Destination will also launch alongside the collection.
