After some thorough investigating and research (as well as an anonymous tip) PlayStation LifeStyle has come to the conclusion that PlayStation Cloud is most likely a downloadable music service. After all, Sony has been in talks with major recording companies about bringing music to the PlayStation Network, a move that would give iTunes and Amazon formidable competition.

Midway Games, the makers of popular coin-op arcade games in the 80s and 90s was looking to get acquired by Warner Brothers. However after the deal turned south it appears the developer is following modern trends and asking for a government bailout. [Satire]

""I would expect that there would be two more pieces of downloadable content for GTA IV, that's what has been indicated to me, although formats are unsure. It's been indicated to me to me that would be the case," said Mitchell, of Kaufman Bros. Equity Research.

Mitchell also stated that he's expecting Grand Theft Auto V to be released in the 2011 financial year, and there's also the possibility of a new GTA title for the PlayStation 2 next year.

"Coming out of E3 there was no commitmen..."

According to the sources of French newssite JeuxVideo, Sony has cancelled the launch of their digital distribution-only handheld PSP Go in France. The launch was cancelled due to pressure from French retailers who refuse to stock the portable device, due to the lack of generateable profit from games and the second-hand market with the PSP Go. French retailers, however, will still stock and distribute the PSP-3000.

Keep in mind, there is no official word on the matter as of right now. Th...

Despite being unannounced by Activision so far, the odds of everybody's favorite mutant cajun appearing seem to be extremely favorable. Judging by the UK box art, Gambit's mug has graced the cover of the game making it pretty absurd for him to be left out, unless they change the box art. Since there hasn't been any official confirmation yet, keep this filed as a rumor for now.

"According to Chinese site UDN, Sony have signed production contracts with two companies to begin manufacture of the rumoured PS3 "Slim", with a delivery date of...oh, next month!

Now, with a PS3 price cut heavily expected around August, and with stocks of the existing 80GB PS3 supposedly dwindling, a July delivery date for the "new" PS3 makes sense. Ship it out in July, have it ready to sell in stores for August."

You might remember the recent teaser site that Capcom has posted up. It's been presumed that the site is there to promote a new Sengoku Basara (Devil Kings) game. However, with some recent changes to the site, speculation has now shifted to the possibility of it being related to a new Onimusha game.

Update: Our bad, it appears this is all mere speculation!

Another tidbit we seem to have missed regarding TRINE: the Xbox LIVE Arcade version of the game will feature online co-op (as opposed to the currently instated local co-op).

At this point, this makes it the only version of the game to support it, though the team has stated it could come to the PC and PSN versions, depending on sales performance and other things.

Michael Jackson's death was sudden and a shock too many people. He was famous for his music, but it seem's like he wanted to dance into the video game industry. Something that many of his fans probably don't know about, and just us gamers, but there was a Michael Jackson video game in the works, being created by his own company. Now the fate of the game is uncertain.

Update: sorry guys, turns out this is actually speculation.

Here's an old story we seem to have lost in the mix: upcoming RPG-puzzle-fantasy-whatever-platformer TRINE will be coming to the Xbox LIVE Arcade, so now pretty much everyone can enjoy the magic.

Atlus will be bringing the title to service, which they showed off at E3 this year. No date is official for this version, but the PC and PSN editions are due early-mid July, so we'd bet around that time or not too long after.

In the...

No, this isn't another one of Michael Pachter's inane predictions. This time these predictions are coming from a mole over at Ars Technica. Before you arbitrarily dismiss Nostradamus' predictions here, this person's been known to have been correct about the 360 price cut last year, the Resident Evil 5 360 bundle, and the PSP Go. He states that Sony will reveal a price cut for the PS3 simultaneously with the announcement of the PS3 Slim. As for Microsoft, he says that they will phase out the P...

Let me remind everyone that this should definitely be taken with at least a grain of salt, as it is a pretty big leak, and theres always the fact that many a person have tricked us into believing what they say to be true... and in the end some one always believes it, no matter how many times it happens again and again.

However, this is the same guy who predicted Firmware 2.80 to hit a few days ago, and everyone was surprised that for once, someone wasn't telling BS lies out. If he can find...

While there hasn't been much information regarding a solid release date for the upcoming downloadable re-release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Gamestop had a rather odd listing on their site. The listing shows a retail version of the game featuring a redeemable code along with a lot of bonuses for $19.99. What's interesting is that they have this listed only for the PS3 with a release date of August 13.

As for now, Capcom hasn't said anything regarding this issue, so keep it filed as a rumor.

"A small paragraph of information on PS 'Cloud' in July 09 issue of PSW page 73! Sorry about the crappy quality, the article reads: You've always been able to create and share levels in PSN puzzler Echochrome, but an update will let you do this via 'Cloud'. This system removes the need for Sony to check levels before being uploaded - an early problem for LittleBigPlanet. The new update will also allow for Playstation Eye support. You will be able to film yourself solving the game's complex puz..."

You have probably seen the trailer for The Last Guardian. Showing what looks like a lovable creature that the main character befriends. But if you pay attention to the intro of the trailer, it shows a hidden creature tied to a chain. One would assume it is the same creature, but some digging reveals it could be another one of the same creatures. The feathers that are shown during that trailer are black, while the friendly creature is grey/silver. Could we see some good vs. evil symbolism here?

"In what will assuredly not be the last leak of the summer from Halo 3: ODST as we lead up to its fall release, allegedly, the entire achievement list has hit YouTube via Game-Tuts. While the list doesn't reveal any shocking surprises, it does tell us quite a bit about where the game's campaign mode will take us.

I have played WoW since release and while a good many things have changed in the game, one thing has not - Gilneas (or the lack of). Myself, along with many others have always wondered what lies behind that gate in Silverpine forest; well it seems like it could be potentially the next area that's going to be opened up. If you bear in mind Blizzcon is not far away then Gilneas definitely has potential to be unveiled as new content.

Ripten believe they've managed to get their hands on a possible set list for The Beatles' incarnation of Rock Band. According to the leaked list, the game will feature songs such as Day Tripper, Help!, Come Together, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, and many many others. If this list is anything to believe, the songs showed in the game's intro will also be playable. However, we'll have to wait for Harmonix, EA, or MTV Games to officially dismiss or confirm the list.

The Nintendo DS title "Gaunlet" was anticipated by many in the gaming community. In February all trace of the title had disappeared, the game was presumably canceled. The ESRB however has a listing for the title revealing it also switched publishing hands from Eidos to Majesco.

"Earlier this week gaming blog Kotaku quoted Microsoft's Shane Kim as saying that the launch of Natal, Microsoft's new controller-free motion control technology, would be as big as the launch of a console. Not surprising. That's because Natal is going to be a new console.

On this week's Listen Up podcast we discussed Natal, and David Ellis and I talked about what we've been hearing regarding the new technology -- and how it's actually the cornerstone of Microsoft's next evolution of the Xbo..."
