Battle: LA Game Announced

The upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Battle: L.A. didn't look like it was getting the video game treatment, but lo and behold-

Homefront is the Most Preordered Game Ever for THQ

Eurogamer is reporting that publisher THQ's upcoming shooter, Homefront, is it's most preordered game ever- besting the likes of Saint's Row and the WWE series. Homefront depicts a future United States that, weakened by interior failings, has been occupied by an expansionist North Korea. The player is set with the task of starting a new revolution.

Aside from some good word of mouth and a few preorder/pickup promotions, there isn't really any explanation for the outstanding prerelease interest. But developer Kaos most likely doesn't care as THQ has stated that they'll judge both the New York based studio and it's title's prospective merits, as well as any possibility of a series, based solely on it's commercial reception and ability to move units.

So far so good.

Fresh from the Game Developers Conference come these new screens of the first Legends of Zelda title to grace Nintendo's upcoming 3DS console, the 3D remake of Ocarina of Time.

Xbox LIVE Wrapup -- 'Beyond Good and Evil' edition

Beyond Good and Evil is one of the greatest games that nobody bought to have ever seen release on the original Xbox- and now it's had a facelift. The Xbox LIVE 'HD' treatment has brought BG&E back to living rooms across the globe, where it will hopefully not be ignored a second time.

Oh, there's also a ton of demos this week- including Modern Warfare 2 and CoD:BlOps (yes really, and no we don't get it either- unless there's a certain announcement coming soon) and the Severed add-on for Dead Space 2. Enjoy.
