Pre-order Secret Agent Clank, get bonus figurine

Filed under: News, Ratchet and Clank

Secret Agent Clank won't be out until three weeks from now -- specifically on June 17 -- but SCEA wants to make sure you've already put down a fiver for the new adventure. What are they doing that will make you want to part with precious money before actually getting the game? Well, you'll be getting a nice Clank figurine all decked out in his secret agent robo-tuxedo. So if you're planning on picking this title up, then pre-order from Gamestop (and Gamestop only apparently) and you can grab this free bonus item for yourself.

Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist deserves another subtitle

Filed under: News, Fan Stuff

We don't really know what Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist is all about other than it being a game based off an anime series. Moreover, we're wondering why it's named "Eloquent Fist" in the first place since one quick look at the official website suggests the title should be called "Eloquent Chest."

The above picture gives us an impression that the game is some sort of side-scrolling beat em' up title like Streets of Rage. We guess that gives the subtitle some context. For those with any sort of interest, the game is being developed by Marvelous and should be out in Japan come October 2. You can also view more busty images here.

Hunt like an expert, watch Monster Hunter Festa finals

Filed under: Video, Fan Stuff

There's no doubt that Japan is big on the Monster Hunter games, so it comes as no surprise that Monster Hunter Festa 08 has been drawing in huge crowds all month. The Festa, however, is now over with the finals of the nation-wide tournament having just been wrapped up this past weekend. So what's the good news here? Well, you can see some footage from the show over at Famitsu, as well as witness the skills of this year's two top teams. Let the experts show you how to hunt some beasties.

God of War PSP street date broken at Wal-Mart

If you've been anticipating getting your hands on the new God of War-red PSP then perhaps you might want to check your local Wal-Mart to see if they have them out on the shelves. One lucky gamer did just that and snagged a shiny red PSP for himself. The new PSPs are supposed to be ready for sale on June 3; so, if you want one a week early, you know where to go.

Considering that Wal-Mart is doing this, we just want to make sure you don't mistake the red PSP for this other ugly GoW PSP. Ew. Make sure you get the right one, okay?

Worldwide PSP releases for the week of May 25

Filed under: Software

World Championship Cards is all about gambling. So, who's willing to bet that the game is not actually going to be in stores this week? Any takers? Well, the reason why we're calling out this bluff is because the game has been previously slated for release on numerous occasions before yet keeps popping up on our "out this week list." It's getting rather annoying. If it comes back one more time, forget it! We're not listing you, you silly card game no one wants anyway.

NA Games:

• World Championship Cards

EU Games:

• No New Releases

Asian Games:

• Clannad
• Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Portable 3
• Memories Off (Limited Edition)
• Memories Off 2nd (Limited Edition)
• Valhalla Knights 2

Anyway, it's another solid week for Japan as the PSP continues to dominate. We guess we need some huge Monster Hunter craze on our continent if we want to have more games for the system.
