Being in the UK I usually go by the Wikipedia page for Europe, but the other countries can be selected from here:

The new Resident Evil: Umberella Chronicles trailer. Looks incredible - big improvement over the other trailers. The only RE I've played properly to date is RE4 , but this also looks like a must buy.

Yeah it does, really looking forward to it

This de Blob game looks pretty cool, it's a sort of paint em up in the style of Katamari.

AFAIK it's Mondays for the US and Fridays for the EU and Australia. Not sure about any other regions.

Can't see it mentioned elsewhere, so I'll direct your attention to www.vc-reviews.com which I use to see what has been released. They have RSS feeds and are an interesting source of information for upcoming titles across the world.

(13) 3. Multi - Shrek the Third - Vicarious Visions - Activision
( - ) 4. Wii - Resident Evil 4 - Capcom - Capcom
( - ) 5. NDS - More Brain Training From Dr Kawashima - Nintendo - Nintendo
(01) 6. 360 - Forza Motorsport 2 - Microsoft - Microsoft

(04) 8. Multi - Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End - Eurocom - Disney

(05) 10. Wii - Wii Play - Nintendo - Nintendo
(06) 11. Multi - Spider-Man 3 - Vicarious Visions - Activision

Christ almighty, us europeans are rather stupid, aren't we? I mean, Harry Potter, Shrek, Pirates, Fantastic 4, Spiderman 3...five movie adaptions in the top 11, and all of them more or less crap, generic games. I can certainly understand why we are not exactly prioritized by the Japanese, they must think that we have the worst taste in games.

At least good games like Darkness and RE4 are high on the list.

Not really... trust me the Japanese charts are littered with their versions of the same thing. And the US charts. Nowhere is really any better than any other in that respect.

Been playing over Harry Potter.
A bit repedative really, but it is lovely that there is no load times whatsoever.

The game does, actually, deserve its place in the chart.
At least, far more then most movie games.

Beautiful Katamari Cancelled For PS3. Heading To Wii! July 9, 2007

Yet more news for Sony as another developer/publisher has packed up and left them crying in the corner. I love the Wii but you have got to feel sorry for Sony at the moment with all the bad press and companies walking away from development. Lets hope they see some good things in the future as competition is healthy.

The rumors have come true as Famitsu has confirmed that Beautiful Katamari has been cancelled for the PS3 and is heading to the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

This news is sure to disappoint many fan as the PlayStation 2 is where the Katamari franchise was born to begin with. Namco reportedly had programming problems with the PS3 version which is what is being blamed for the cancellation.

I thought these movie adaptation games were made purposely generic and multi-platform to appeal to the largest number of people in order to get the most sales (i.e. tie-in cash in). It seems to work unfortunately, so they keep getting made. They're only ever based on 'blockbuster' films too, which indicates they're just seen as an extension of the merchandise.

Mind you, game adaptation movies are not usually any good either. Is Resident Evil any good though? I haven't seen it yet, but it's on TV here next week (in Finland).

I feel that after the Sony fanboys had to change their thread title cause obviously now their poor console isnt doing too well they have a little more humility we should discuss changing ours to something more suitable in the same spirit ..............."Nintendo Rule the Fuckin' World" I reckon
