New Splatterhouse Details
New details have emerged from Namco Bandai and Bottlerocket about their upcoming remake of Splatterhouse, which will be releasing on Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in 2009, an actual date is still yet to be announced.
Namco believes that the original graphics are best left to nostalgia so they can bring you an up to date and fresh title, however they have promised to still remain faithful to the 80's horror vibe of the original.
Among the details shed are that all of the original weapons will make a return including the 2 by 4 and the meatcleaver, while expanding on the original weapons list with new weapon classes and as they put it a few surprises.
The development team promise a lot of gore in this game saying that it's what the game is about so they are going to give it to them. You can defiantly expect this to get an M rating.
Say tuned for more details.

Fable 2 was all set to release it's first DLC "Knothole Island" on the 22nd of this month however due to unexpected and unforeseeable technical issues the DLC has been pushed back towards the back end of January.

So all you Fable 2 fans itching to get back into the action will just have to wait a while longer.

Take-Two Drops Champions Online
Last week Atari made a move on Cryptic Studios last week doubts fell over the studios big project other wise known as Champions Online the game that was born out of the failed Marvel Universe Online.
So due to Atari now owning the publisher of Take-Twos next big title the future of the title began to come into unrest talks went on for a week until today it was announced that Take Two would be dropping Champions after it's studio had been brought by Atari.
Take Two president Ben Feder had this to say,
"We no longer intend to publish the MMOG Champions Online due to Atari's acquisition of Cryptic,"
Take Two washing their hands of the project is to be expected really as acquisitions often put a dampener on any existing agreements between companies.
However weather Chapions Online will stick to its scheduled release slot of Spring now that Atari have taken over the publishing is still left to be seen, as when Atari mentioned Champions they just gave it a vague 2009 slot.
However it still looks likely to meet this date as developers Cryptic have upped their work effort into the game by bringing on board Bill Roper Cocreater of Diablo and Hellgate.
Champions Online is being developed for Xbox 360 and PC.
