Nintendo of Japan have officially revealed a new Pokemon game that is exclusive to Wii, but don’t get too excited.
The new title, called Pokepark, sees you taking control of Pikachu (urrgh) where you have to interact and work with other Pokemon in order to complete mini games (double urrgh) which get tougher as you forge friendships with other Pokemon and progress further into the park.
The game also allows user to take snapshots of the game and send them to friends. Very pointless, we know, but at least it’s a nice feature.
Alright, we’ve taken almost as much as we can. We don’t want a mini game collection, we don’t want a virtual Pokemon farm and we certainty don’t want to pay £35 just to see our monsters fighter one-another in 3D. What we want, Nintendo, is a fully 3D Pokemon RPG game. You were on the right track with Colosseum and XD, but let’s be honest, they were pretty pants. Just give us what we want, please.
Valve have announced that people who pre-order Left 4 Dead 2 at selecting retailers or via Steam will receive a demo of the game on October 27th. Here is the full announcement from they guys themselves:
"The Left 4 Dead 2 demo will feature gameplay taken from 'The Parish' campaign, set in the New Orleans French Quarter. Playable by 1 to 4 players over local or Internet connections on both the Xbox 360 and PC (with two-player split screen available on the Xbox 360), the demo features all the new boss infected zombies and all the new melee weapons included in the full product. Those who pre-order the game (at participating retailers or via Steam) will obtain early access to the demo on October 27. The demo will then be made available to Xbox Live Gold members and all PC gamers on November 3. Then all Xbox Live members will obtain access to the demo on November 10."
Sony has revealed that a demo for God of War III will be making it’s way the Japanese PS Store on November 19th.
However, there is a catch. The demo will be released as part of a promotion for the Japanese release of inFamous which has been out in the UK for ages. The Japanese copy of inFamous will include a PSN code which, when entered, will allow gamers to redeem their demo of Kratos’ next adventure.
Sony has not commented on any possibility of a God of War III demo hitting the UK PS Store, but we doubt that it will happen any time soon.
Microsoft have announced that Sky’s online service, Sky Player, will be heading to 360 owners on October 27th.
Microsoft Europe's Xbox community manager, Graeme Boyd, said:
"October 27 - that's the date when you'll be able to watch TV from Sky on your Xbox 360."
The channel line-up and price of the service have not be announced, but are expected to be revealed when the Sky Player is launched, but users can expect to be able to access movies and entertainment shows, as well as documentaries, children‘s programs, music and sport, including Premier League football. Unfortunately, the service will only be in standard definition and you won’t be able to record any programs.
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom has had a bolster to its roster today with the announcement that Zero from Mega Man X and Joe Asakura from the Gatchaman series have been added .
Personally we here at VGS don’t feel as thought Capcom are not making the best choices in the world from there rich history of characters, anyone remember a sword wielding leather coat wearing badass called Dante.

Future updates will continue to roll in, and 4v4 matchmaking is first in line, Valve has confirmed to us that it’ll be available before the release of L4D2. Also don’t forget, we have another DLC pack confirmed for sometime in the near future and of course, there will be bug fixes. This is as good as it can get people."
This really has been one of the most stupid things to ever come out of video games history, people boycotting a sequel to a game they love.

After the news yesterday that social networking sites Facebook, twitter and internet radio last.FM where set for release November 17th in the UK the official XBOX website has amended the date to simply “Autumn”, was it an incorrect date or someone slipping up and publishing the date a head of time only time will tell November 17th is not that far away.
Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo America has said that he believes that the PSPgo has some fundamental concept problems.
“I have the utmost respect for all our competitors, but it’s interesting to try and answer the consumer question of ‘What’s in it for me?’ in that product."
He also gone on to comment about the success of the iphone and how Nintendo have no plans to enter into the mobile phone market
“We don’t have a desire to get into the phone space. We think the game business is competitive enough.”
So that probably means no Nintendo themed aps for your iphone
