We have just posted our preview of LEGO Batman: The Video Game. Be sure to check it out...
The Batman universe has always been a fan favorite of fans who have followed the Caped Crusader through the various stories from DC Comics. With revitalization from the latest movies, Batman Begins and the soon-to-be-released Dark Knight, Travellers’ Tales decided to shift its Lego universe to include this popular character. Hundreds of fans everywhere cried for joy when the developer announced that its new IP would be LEGO Batman: the Video Game.� With nicely detailed environments and clever character design, LEGO Batman is one of this year’s most anticipated titles.
According to gamersreports.com (via the official Capcom forums), it is believed that Microsoft is trying to lock up Resident Evil 5 as an Xbox 360 exclusive title.
Seems like Microsoft is willing to pay any amount of money to obtain the upcoming game, similar to how they paid Take-Two $50 million to get exclusive GTA4 downloadable episodes.
Rumor has it that the announcement is supposed to be made at E3, but there hasn’t been any word from Capcom, yet.
If Microsoft secures RE5 as an Xbox 360 exclusive, they will surely gain another upper hand over Sony’s PS3. But if Microsoft dished out $50 million just for exclusive downloadable content, how much are they willing to pay for an exclusive game?

Despite just releasing a few new maps not too long ago, Bungie was at hand at the MLG San Diego Pro Circuit yesterday and had quite a surprise for all the attendees when they announced that a new map was coming out for Halo 3.
Dubbed “Cold Storage”, the new map is a remake of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved map, Chill Out. A 2v2 exhibition match took place between two of MLG’s most popular pros, Karma and Legend, and Bungie’s own Lukems and Shishka, in which the brand new map was unveiled.
The map will be released sometime soon, but Bungie has not confirmed an actual release date.
Being a huge fan of the original Chill Out map, I’m excited for another wonderful remake from Bungie. And by looking at some of the pics, the map looks great and will be sure to keep Halo 3 fans pleased.

While the Playstation was once home to all the greatest Japanese RPGs, the Xbox 360 has recently been stealing some of that star power.
Microsoft held an RPG conference today in which Square-Enix’s Star Ocean 4 was announced for the Xbox 360, the latest Japanese RPG to hop onto Microsoft’s console.
Subtitled “The Last Hope”, the game will contain more science fiction elements this time around and is actually a prequel, taking place hundreds of years before the first Star Ocean. The game will also feature a brand new battle system and the ability to travel across different planets.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope is scheduled to arrive in 2009 for the Xbox 360. A PS3 version has yet to be confirmed, but could eventually be announced for the console.
