Rumors:

-Just a week after Sony confirmed a 250 GB PS3 rumors of a Tekken 6 bundle have emerged. In fact rumors of several possible PS3 bundle variations have popped up, Tekken 6 is just the most recent. The image above is what sparked the rumors and was first seen on a Dutch site called Nextgamer.

-New screenshots for Epic Mickey were released a just a few days ago and now the exclusivity of the mysterious game is beign questioned. It was first reported that a new paint-centered Mickey game was being made for the Wii. Now 1up is reporting that the Game Informer article claiming it was exclusive has been edited to no longer say that it is.


-Very few details about "Sony's Motion Controller" project are known. A candidate for a possible title has emerged however. A word that may be considered is Sphere. Sega producer Yushito Baba's translator referred to the project as "sphere" during the the Tokyo Game Show.

Announcements:

-A few more games have been added to Microsoft's Platinum Hits. That means all five of you who haven't bought GTA 4, Street Fighter 4, Left 4 Dead, Saints Row 2, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed can now buy it. And this time with cool "platinum" aka gray box art.

-Last week the creator of Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner, filed a trademark for "Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands."

-Since the release of The Beatles Rock Band several musicians who previously denounced rhythm games have changed their tune. U2 is the latest band to rethink their video game involvement.

"We definitely would like to be in there, but we felt some of the compromises weren't what we wanted," Adam Clayton told USA Today. "That could change. I love the idea that that's where people are getting music, and we'd love to be in that world."
