Swinging the cost cleaver
Should you have held off from buying a Nintendo Wii for cost reasons, you may get your time next month if this latest rumour is to be believed.
Hold out for a hero
The first attempt at a Kinect fighting game, Fighters Uncaged, didn't exactly turn out brilliantly, but Ubisoft is ready to take a second swing at the genre with the newly-announced PowerUp Heroes.
Creating the ultimate game
Last week we revealed you'll be able to play play Child of Eden with PlayStation Move, and now the game's director Tetsuya Mizuguchi has hinted at stereoscopic 3D support too.
No catch
Get to the bottom of a murder in Blue Toad Murder Files, the co-operative investigation game from UK developer Relentless Software. Released on PSN in chunks, you can now pick up the first episode absolutely free.
Do you need a hint coin?
Konami's created some of gaming's greatest heroes: Solid Snake, Simon Belmont, the dude from Contra. Now the firm is ready to introduce its latest leading man, heading to 3DS in the summer.
Xbox, show the future
The list of Kinect voice commands is quite small for now, but Rare studio manager Scott Henson believes the sensor's vocal capabilities will improve vastly over time.
You should see the one that got away
Big John Games has just dropped us a line (sorry) to let us know its frantic fishing game Big Bass Arcade has passed Nintendo lotcheck and is swimming its way upstream to the DSiWare shop.
Give F5 a break
So, despite everyone's biggest hopes and best intuition, Capcom's Captivate 2011 event came and went without even so much of a sniff of Monster Hunter 3DS.
Lots to look forward to
Here's hoping you have plenty of coins in that wallet if you're intending to see most of the games this year has to offer, as Nintendo Europe has released an overview of the games coming to Wii, 3DS and DS in the next three months.
Should be here before July
We hereby christen today "Good News Tuesday". Not only have we discovered the release dates for countless titles — Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and plenty more — we've also had confirmation from Nintendo that classic Square RPG Chrono Trigger will see the light of day on Virtual Console in Europe.
