Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is real, announced by Sony for a release in 2011, most likely around Christmas time. Playable in stereoscopic 3D, its duck-and-cover gunplay would be a perfect fit for PlayStation Move yet the announcement makes no mention of Move support.
Mission in Snowdriftland's list of indie games participants just grew a little bigger, now standing at a sizeable 17 studios bringing exclusive content to the advent calendar.
So says Sakurai
Super Smash Bros. Melee holds a special place in the hearts of many Nintendo fans, but creator Masuhiro Sakurai regrets aiming the game so strongly towards hardcore gamers, saying it's a mistake he wouldn't repeat again.
Next stop: jetpacks
This isn't the first Minority Report-style interface created with Kinect, and we'll wager a large sum of money on it being far from last, but it is one of the best efforts we've seen so far.
The excitement is building
You could fit the entire known information about BIT.TRIP FLUX onto the head of an 8-bit-styled pin, and Gaijin Games has thrown fans a bone with the release of this teaser image to promote the game.
VP of Characterisation
LittleBigPlanet 2 promises to make all your gaming fantasies come true, and while it may not be quite powerful enough to let us create Shenmue 3 this advert proves it can do plenty more than its predecessor.

From Marvelous Entertainment, surprisingly
Fitness, physiotherapy, monkeys: that's largely the array of gaming styles you can play with the Wii Balance Board, but Marvelous Entertainment is about to introduce the horror genre to the board's repertoire with next year's Ikenie no Yoru, or Night of the Sacrifice.
Back in time for Christmas
If you're up for some Super Bonk action – and you live in Europe – you're in luck, as the game headbashes its way to Virtual Console this Friday.
Legendary creator muses possible port
Yu Suzuki is a legend in the gaming world. During his time at Sega he produced classic after classic: OutRun, AfterBurner, Super Hang-On, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue and countless other titles. Some years ago his Digital Rex studio set about producing Psy-Phi, an entirely new kind of fighting game with touchscreen controls, but it was recalled from arcades before release and has never seen the light of day. Speaking to 1up, Suzuki-san revealed a simplified Kinect version could be possible:The advantage would be it wouldn't hurt your finger. [Laughs] I think it would be good to make it for Kinect. Yeah, maybe I'll make that my next project, although, I should probably make the game a little simpler for the Kinect audience.The prospect of Suzuki-san bringing one of his unseen titles to Kinect is a tantalising thought, and one we certainly hope to see in future, though of course we'd really love to see a Kinect-controlled Shenmue 3.
