You wanna see M-rated games on the Wii? Buy Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars when it comes out. According to Take-Two, they're using the game to see whether games with mature themes are suited for the platform.

Fable 2 took a hit on the the UK charts last week as Fallout 3 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) launched in the UK last October 31st. The post apocalyptic action RPG took the top spot as it sold more copies in two days than all the games in the franchise combined. See the software charts for week ending November 1 in the full article.

Maybe with Fallout 3 finally released, Bethesda can focus on other projects, yes? If you're a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, then things are (potentially) looking up. But! If you're a fan of the Elder Scrolls series and still holding out for an Oblivion PSP, then things aren't quite looking up. Also! If you're a Bethesda fan owning the Wii or DS, then... well, maybe you might want to start broadening you console horizons.

So why is it, pray tell, that most of the games we see today are either sequels or spin-offs? You've got Gears of War 2, BioShock 2, Resident Evil 5, Patapon 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, God of War III, Fable 2... the list goes on. Yes, from time to time new IPs pop into the picture, but they're few and far between, unfortunately. Maybe an article at Reuters can shed light on this "sequel spammage" scenario, as well as reveal some of the measures that they take to make their sequels more approachable to the general market.

So what's going to be in our videogaming menu starting this week? A whole lot of DS games once again, we tell you, though there's a few gems or two in the Nintendo handheld rough on Tuesday. There's a music rhythm game for almost every console out there, plus a couple new additions to the portfolio of PC games. Somehow we're also seeing another relaunching of Gears of War for the Xbox 360 the "Refresh" edition. We don't know why it's re-listed, but it is. The full list follows at the full story.

Two creative forces in the game making industry have just joined forces to create an exciting new game. Bethesda Softworks, that is currently developing Fallout 3 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), decided to go into a joint effort with Splash Damage to explore new areas and come up with something fresh. More details after the jump.

Grand theft what? This April isn't exactly rocky even if you're not a fan of the upcoming sandbox behemoth, because other major releases can go neck to neck. For the week ending April 20, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will race to North America with an expansion for The Sims 2 and Okami's waggle reincarnation tailing behind. Hit that jump to see the rest of games about to reach retail.

Bethesda Softworks is now announcing that the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2 video game Star Trek: Conquest is being planned for a European release before the end of Q1 2008.

Nintendo Wii game Star Trek: Conquest has been available for almost a month now but it seems that the franchise's installed fan base are completely unaware of its existence.

To help fix this problem, Bethesda Softworks has released a new gameplay video for the title. Conquest is unique in such a way that it features both turn-based strategy and real-time strategy gameplay schemes. More details and the video after the jump!

Here are two new video clips for the upcoming Nintendo Wii version of Star Trek: Conquest. The first one is just a teaser video while the other is actually a trailer which serves as a preview to the things Star Trek: Conquest has to offer.

The title is being developed by Bethesda Softworks and will also be available on the PlayStation 2 this holiday season. Star Trek: Conquest is somewhat of a hybrid as it offers both turn-based and real-time strategy gameplay. Aside from that, the game also has an arcade combat feel to it that is sure to keep all the Trekkies up all night long.

Lead Designer Frank Arnot mentioned once that the storyline is going to be as engaging as well. This game, take note, is not to be confused with Activision's PC title Star Trek: ConQuest Online.
