Confirmed by the Official US PS Blog, Peggle and its expansion pack, Peggle Nights (sounds saucy!), are out this week.

Doing a “Dead Space” and producing an animated movie companion for the upcoming hell-bound Dante’s Inferno, EA are hoping they’ve got all their “ducks in a row” and are suitably “aligning synergies” with what is essentially a clever marketing device to keep interest in the game high.

If you’ve been interested as to what the new Dante’s Inferno movie actually looks like, well, it’s a good thing we’ve embedded the trailer now, isn’t it?

The game previously known as Rainy Woods resurfaced this week when it was revealed as a survival horror budget exclusive for the 360 with the new title of Deadly Premonition.

We didn’t mention it because, well, it was hardly PS3 related – unless you count a game previously mentioned for Sony’s console no longer getting a release.

Well, it appears the ESRB, who have the noble task of rating the games we finally get to play, have confirmed the game will make an appearance on the PS3 after all.

The French wing of Eurogamer have snagged a sparkling new video of some Army of Two: The 40th Day co-op footage we thought we’d bring to your attention.

Predator game will not be submitted to the USK (Germany’s classification board) and hence preventing the game from being released in the country.

The culprit? You people.

Hot on the heels of high review scores and tales of shortages across the globe, it’s with little to absolute zero surprise to hear that Borderlands developer Gearbox are viewing a sequel to the RPS (Role Playing Shooter) as a “no-brainer.”

With EA announcing 1,500 job cuts worldwide due to a less than spectacular performance in Q2, it’s no surprise to learn that the mega-publisher are going back to the well and rejuvenating old cash cows in an effort to keep their shareholders happy.

Remember Medal of Honor? Well, soon enough you’ll be hearing a lot from the old dog as EA have announced plans to revitalise the popular FPS franchise.

Not content with working away on the next chapter of Agent 47′s blood-filled story along with a sequel to the infamous Kane & Lynch, C&VG have learned that IO Interactive have also spent the last three years secretly developing a new IP that is (and we’re quoting here) “Unlike anything else.”
