The Gorillaz will be headlining next week's Rock Band update with three songs being made available as DLC for the game's PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version is also getting its own update in the form of eleven tracks taken from the Rock Band back catalog, while Rock Band Unplugged will play host to a pair of new Iron Maiden songs.

This week sure has been a quite one for Ninty. Early prepping for TGS maybe?

Yo Joe! Now we're gettting more screens for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS, PSP, Wii.) from Electronic Arts. These are taken from the Xbox 360 version of the title, and the graphics appear to be as cool as Snake Eyes. Check 'em out.

Alien Syndrome first came out in 1987 as a run and gun arcade game developed by Sega. This was why it was such a surprise when Sega announced that they would be releasing Alien Syndrome on the Wii. But instead of Rick and Mary, Earth Command Trooper Aileen Harding will be shooting alien butts this time.

This Totally Games-developed title will have the player, playing as Aileen Harding, use around 20 types of weapons to rid spaceships and planets of 100 types of alien scum. Check out the screenshots of this exciting title.
