Another batch of video game rumors are included in this month's issue of EGM. This batch of Quartermann rumors is a pretty mixed bunch, so we're just going to list 'em up for easier reading.

• No more Bioshock for PS3? - Quartermann says that apparently, the game's success has led to Microsoft acquiring rights to keep Rapture on the Xbox 360. The content in the planned PS3 version may show up as DLC on Xbox Live or as part of a special Game of the Year edition.
• After Warhawk comes... Jet Moto? - Sony is rumored to be looking at bringing Jet Moto to next generation consoles. Will the game get a full-fledged update? A PSP remake? A PSN release? No word on that yet.
• Viva Pinata: Party Animals for Wii? - This Xbox 360 original is already heading to the DS, and Quartermann believes that a Wii version of the party game collection Viva Pinata: Party Animals couldn't be that far off.

Well, there you go guys. Please keep in mind that these are all just rumors. We'll bring you updates as soon as more details - either confirmations or debunkings - come out.

We've played that game before, right?
Re-imagining the classics for the new generation. This is RE-GEN.

With power comes evolution: shooters have gone from scrolling to full 3-D environments, from turkey galleries to smart, reactive enemies. Yet even the classics, with their scrolling and their shooting galleries, have virtues all to their own.

The Strike series from Electronic Arts is one of the most notable examples of the genre. A multi-directional, military-themed shooter, it became a hallmark franchise, particularly on the Sega Genesis. Even in that age of solid-state cartridges, Strike was known for its surprisingly challenging gameplay, and became known as the 16-bit "smart shooter."

After three successful 16-bit titles, and two CD follow-ons in the PSOne (as well as the Saturn and PC), Strike vanished; no more was heard. Perhaps it was a victim of its own success, having stuck too close to its core formula. Or perhaps EA lost interest (happened before, happened since). Pity: the series had quite the potential, even after five games. And especially today.

RE-GEN is all about second chances for the classic titles we loved. Can the power and capabilities offered by today's platforms, from the high-end PS3 and Xbox 360, to the innovative Wii, to the handheld wonders of the PSP and NDS, offer something new to resurrect the Strike series? This is the question we set out to answer today. Some things, after all, don't deserve to gather dust in the back of a shelf, when it has more to offer.

No, we ain't talking about Virtual Console. Think about it: great classic, Wiimote controls, saving the world from a Wiimote-induced holocaust yet again... Learn more about the Strike series, and speculating a Wii Strike update, after the jump! Or discover what the PS3/Xbox 360, the PSP, or the DS has to offer a Strike title.
