It's quite an emotional rollercoaster, this week really was. Straight off from the news that the King of Pop has died, we went on to have the usual string of gaming news that rock our own worlds. With the usual news on lawsuits, layoffs, company shutdowns, convicted murderers over consoles, it was looking to be a sad state of affairs. Good thing we've got our own Neverland to brighten things up a bit. And now we've come to the Fourth of July weekend. Time to kick off those shoes, stretch out, unwind and celebrate. You know we all deserve it. Happy FOJ weekend, everyone!

A lot of people were hoping that the Capcom teaser site was for a new Onimusha game, but the fact that it was accessible from the Sengoku Basara portal kinda weighed the odds in favor of a new Basara game. And so it turned out to be just that.

If Suda 51 would want to make No More Heroes a bigger franchise, then they'll have to find another console other than the Wii. At least this is what Grasshopper Manufacturer CEO Goichi Suda says of their plans for evolving the franchise.

We've already heard Shia LaBeouf talk Transformers, and he ended up dissing the Wii. But what about his co-star and leading lady, Megan Fox? She too has a few words to share about their latest project and you can catch them in this video after the jump.

In the latest edition of Nintendo Power, Nintendo big man Shigeru Miyamoto himself answered the question on whether or not Zelda will to stick to the formula or veer off into an entirely new path. Just how different will Zelda Wii be from the earlier iterations of the franchise?

Now this is one Dragon Ball title you should definitely look into. Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo is a nice cartoony RPG based from the non-overpowered adventures of Goku as the little monkey boy.
