Hello all,

I've been in India for the last two months, with little to no access to the net, which included any gaming news whatsoever.. so fill me in.. wii, ds, pc, 360, ps3, sales, this website ... what has been going on since dec 25th (the day i left)  !?

PS. I know i'm being lazy.. but meh

According to your profile you look like a Nintendo fan boy so... you've missed nothing really. No worries. You can go back to India for another few months and you probably still wont miss anything.

Killzone 2 ended up being awesome, the haters still refuse to admit it, citing various issues and jumping at the fact that it drops to 26 FPS at points...sigh.

Halo Wars is very good too, GameSpot gave it a 6.5 though, so they are dead to TWO groups of people.

Street Fighter IV is excellent.

There's quite an outcry about Resident Evil 5's controls, including from myself. But then I never really got into Resident Evil.

Some God of War III trailers were released, and it's FRIGGIN AWESOME.

There are rumours of Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3.

Noby Noby Boy and Flower don't suck...in fact, they're getting review scores in the 80s and 90s, for the most part.

DMeisterJ and Leo-J left, for some odd reason. Konnichiwa got permabanned, and CrazzyMan was banned for three months.

Those are the main things.

Ah, Nintendo? Nothing, really. House of the Dead is good, Deadly Creatures is decent, and the Wii and DS continue to be sales beasts. Or not. The Wii is hanging onto 20k+ in Japan by a thread, and it'll probably go under next week when Star Ocean IV launches. The Wii outsold the PS3 in Japan by 2k this week. 2,000.

Reviews of Halo Wars and KZ 2 have been coming in both positive, with KZ 2 sitting pretty at around 92% on average

God of War 3 looks unbelievable
Uncharted 2 looks unbelievable
CoD MW 2 announced shockingly, and very blurry first image of somebody playing it was released
Great PSN games released

Boom Blox 2 announced for Wii (To be released this Spring)

Dead Space: Extraction (a prequel to the first game) announced for Wii (To be released this Fall)

Mass Effect 2 Teaser shown

New God of War 3-trailers - Even I, an avid anti-God of War guy, have to admit it looks stunning.

Killzone 2 is doing just as well as the PS3-fans anticipated, and looks to be a great game overall (not my cup of tea though, personally)

Resident Evil 5 hasn't gotten proper reviews yet, but the backlash has already begun. Time will tell if "professionals" will agree with the masses about the game lacking.

Street Fighter IV a big hit, it seems, I personally love it.

The Conduit to be released June 9th in the US. No word on other territories yet.

I think that's about it, besides the stuff the others have already mentioned.

EA announced that they will be supporting Wii 50% and PS3/360 50% so expect a major increase in Wii support this year.

Dead Space Extraction (Wii) was announced - an on rails first person prequel

DSi launches in America on April 5th for $169, Europe on April 4th and Australia April 3rd

Nintendo announced that they have created a new first party studio 'Project Sora' headed by the director of SSB:Brawl and the creator of Kirby. He's making a game that 'is nothing like we've played before' and core gamers will want.

MadWorld is a GOTY Wii contender already, split screen multiplayer confirmed.

Virtua Tennis 09 was announced for PS3/360/Wii - Wii version supports Wii MotionPlus, releasing mid year.

House of the Dead: Overkill is out - confirmed to be awesome

Wii and 360 sales are up YoY but PS3 sales are down

great, thanks for all the info so far Kantor, puffy, Majin-Tenshinhan

I was interested to read about developments in the PC world too.. has their been anything interesting revealed for pc games?

@RVDondaPC, you are new to me so I won't try to judge your ambitions, but I was clearly asking for info on all of the platforms, so would you kindly settle down on the unnecessary console bashing

PC ... Nothing I've heard of, but I'm not nearly as active as I should be when it comes to PC gaming. Sorry.

Killzone2 coming
