I have updated my review for Batman Arkham Asylum to reflect a few things that have changed since I originally posted the review. This includes the fact that there was free DLC released and the PC version has come out and what makes it different (mostly PhysX support). Click here to read the review.

Things are picking up once again with the releases with some nice games coming out this week. Click here to see the Upcoming Releases for this week with games such as Heavy Rain, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and Last Rebellion among others. I know I’ll be playing a lot of Heavy Rain and Sonic and Sega All-Stars, what will you be getting?
Version 1.5 has been released for Cyborg Mice Arena that adds some new features. Below the break is a video of the additions. Expect my updated review within a couple days.
A new year with some new releases… Just not too many this week. The coming weeks will be quite busy with releases, but this week sees Dark Void, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection for Wii and the PS2 port of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. When I have to put a couple of budget PC releases of game shows just to fill the widget you know you have a slow week. The demo for Dark Void is available to download now, but I have yet to try it.
For those that haven’t heard or noticed yet, the PS3 has a firmware upgrade available with the major feature being that you can play PSP Minis on your PS3. This sounds like Sony is on its way to making a reality what I wrote about in an Editorial I wrote back in September suggesting Sony update the PS3 to play PSP games. It appears though that right now there are only a handful of games that will actually work with Sony saying that in a couple weeks they will all work. Maybe this will be a test to see how things run and see the demand for more to work. The Minis are not allowed to have network play, so that’s one less thing for them to worry about emulating so I can see why this is a good place to start. Once a game I actually owns works I will post my impressions.
I know, it’s not a review for Indie Games Wednesday, but i wanted to post something as promised. Weapon of Choice has been recently updated on Xbox Live Indie Games. The next time you load the game up it will prompt you to update it which requires a redownload of the game. Once this is done you will notice that there are quite a few more difficulty levels now for those looking for a challenge, or those that want to play through multiple times at different levels. In terms of what else the update does – I am still not sure as I did not notice anything different so far. Will update further as I find out.
I took the week off for Thanksgiving (aka, I’ve been working on final papers, ugh!) but now I have updated the Upcoming Releases page for the games coming out this upcoming week, plus updated some of the “other upcoming games.” This week is definitely a weak one with games like Rogue Warrior, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and the game based on the movie Avatar. Everyone’s too busy playing the games they bought on Black Friday anyway, right? I won’t have an update Monday or Tuesday this week due to said papers (it’s bad enough that I’m putting off work by doing this) but I WILL do another Indie Game Wednesday, so keep an eye out!
I have updated the Upcoming Releases page for this week. This week sees the release of the new Buzz on PS3, Phantasy Star 0 on DS, a new Harvest Moon on Wii, a new Dragonball game on Xbox 360 and PS3… oh yeah and a little game called Modern Warfare 2. Click here to check the page out to see all the releases for this week as well as some other major ones coming soon. BTW, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Epic is running triple XP all week in Gears 2 
I have updated the V Pilot review. The episode is now available to watch in its entirety within the review embedded thanks to Hulu.com. If you would like to watch the episode click here to read my review.
The Upcoming Releases page has been updated again after a few weeks off. This week sees the release of both Band Hero and LEGO Rock Band which are the more “family friendly” versions of the respective franchises. Since LEGO Rock Band has “The Final Countdown” by Europe it automatically wins in my mind. If music games aren’t your thing (or you don’t want to buy ANOTHER one after 10 have come out this year alone) there is also Dragon Age: Origins which looks pretty sweet for fans of Baldurs Gate, the Ultimate Sith Edition of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for those looking for new content that is released as a full game instead of DLC, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, and Rabbids Go Home for Wii which is more of an adventure game than the mini-game collections they have been known for until now. There are others as well so take a look at the page.
