BBFC recently rated Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS. The game was given an “18” rating to no surprise. There was one notable tidbit that was included alongside the rating though – The game will include 168 minutes of cut scenes. Rockstar Leeds certainly wasn’t lying when it was said that Chinatown Wars is huge.

All insanity seemed to had ended yesterday when Robert Pelloni, who has been desperately pleading for a SDK for Bob’s Game, said that his 100-day protest was over. Well folks, that actually isn’t the case.

The website for Bob’s Game has been updated and he has in fact resumed his protest. Oddly enough, police apparently checked in on Pelloni after it was thought that he had committed suicide. No movement had been seen on his camera for a number of hours and the room in which he was maintaining his protest was a complete mess. Though there’s doubt that the latest stunt was accidental, it is clear that the insanity set in motion over Bob’s Game will continue. Viral marketing or not, Nintendo must be rolling their eyes at this point granted they are aware of the situation.

In Tokyo Beat Down, you shoot first, punch second, kick third, break for lunch, and then ask questions… if there’s time. Every sort of crook, hoodlum, thief, criminal, traitor, drug dealer, murderer, assassin, terrorist, arsonist-well, you get the idea-is scheming to take over the streets of Tokyo, and only one police unit has what it takes to stand in their way. The most vicious, merciless, unyielding team of enforcers: the Beast Cops.

“Say hello to my little friend!”
This sordid tale of Tokyo’s criminal set unfolds through the eyes of three different cops with unique play styles.

-VIDEO GAME PART OF MAJOR 25TH ANNIVERSARY GHOSTBUSTERS CELEBRATION-

LYON, FRANCE – 9 January 2008 – Atari, one of the world’s most recognized video game publishers, announced today that the highly anticipated Ghostbusters: The Video Game is set to release across North America on 16 June 2009 followed by worldwide release on 19 June. Working closely with Sony Pictures Consumer Products and acclaimed development studios Terminal Reality and RedFly, Atari will bring this completely all-new chapter of the blockbuster Ghostbusters saga to advanced gaming platforms coinciding with the 25th anniversary celebration of the film’s original theatrical release. Ghostbusters: The Video Game, based on the smash hit motion picture franchise, is penned by original Ghostbusters writers and stars Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd and reunites many of the original cast members to recapture the unique blend of humour and fright that established Ghostbusters as a pop culture sensation. The game’s launch on 16 June 2009 coincides with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s worldwide debut of the original motion picture on Blu-ray Disc™.

In addition to Aykroyd and Ramis, original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson lend their voices and in-game likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters II, with Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces. The player joins up as a new recruit with the original team, testing a variety of unique equipment and gadgets, to track, wrangle and trap this wide range of awe-inspiring phantasms in an all new funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.
