Resident Evil-themed restaurant to open next month in Japan.

There hasn't been one yet and there's been no mention of one either. It's a little strange seeing as there's a demo for the 3DS version, but there you go.

EDIT: Double post

I'm hoping it won't be a direct sequel to the events of MGS 4, but rather a prequel or a story that fits in the middle of the saga somehow. MGS 4 wrapped everything up adequately for me and I'd rather they just kept that as the definitive ending of the story. What I'd really like, though, are full remakes of the original Metal Gear games from the MSX days. I know the emulated versions were included in both Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence and the recent HD collection, but I would be very interested in playing through the origins of the story with the benefits of modern gaming technology backing it all up.

Nalbandian should have invoked wrestling logic and argued that a title can't be won by disqualification.

That should work just fine as long as you already own the game.

Kotaku has some entertaining features from time to time, but it's generally rather awful as a journalistic source of information.

Not legally, no.

Roy Hodgson needs to give them the People's Elbow.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out under its new developers. Frictional have a great track record in the survival horror genre, having created the Penumbra series before Amnesia, so I hope that The Chinese Room can take the reigns and keep the atmosphere and tension from the original, hopefully building on it in some capacity.

Of course, this will be cited as yet another reason why Pacquiao vs Mayweather isn't likely to happen any time soon, if ever.

It certainly wasn't among the absolute worst decisions I've ever seen, but there's no way in my mind that Bradley could have been considered the victor. As has been mentioned, it looks as though they'll fight again on November 10th given that Pacquiao apparently has a rematch clause. Pacquiao detractors might say that this is some sort of sweet justice for the controversial decision last year that saw Pacquiao defeat Juan Manuel Marquez, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that this was definitely the wrong call.

I recall Tim Schafer saying that the first day sales of HiB were more than the entire first run of Psychonauts. That's probably true considering that Psychonauts sold very poorly during its first run. Oh, and I liked Lone Survivor before it was cool. ^_^

That picture is apparently a photo from Glastonbury 2005, not Download. Given the state of the weather at the moment, though, the Donington site could end up looking like that before the weekend is over.

That's a Plus feature, yes.

That was great, but I was really surprised to find that the next two videos in the series have under 100,000 views each.

The new Plus content is indeed incredible. Here's a list of the full games us Europeans can enjoy during the next month: Virtua Fighter 5 Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Chime Super Deluxe. Darksiders. Renegade Ops. Outland. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD. Infamous 2 Motorstorm Apocalypse LittleBigPlanet 2 And for the North Americans: Virtua Fighter 5 inFamous 2 LittleBigPlanet 2 Saints Row 2 Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Just Cause 2 Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Virtua Fighter 5 Sideway: New York Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Hard Corp: Uprising Choplifter HD Coming to think of it, I might even have missed something out, but that's more than enough to be going on with right now.

Nintendo basically innovated/popularised (depending on your historical perspective) everything that is currently used on modern controllers, they're not doing anyone else's controller, they're just taking logical design and utilising it... the placement of the A, B, X, Y buttons is fucking stupid, though. Has anyone heard any confirmation on if they're doing Achievements/Trophies yet? I heard something about coins, but it doesn't seem to be confirmed if they are just in Wii-U currency or actual achievement based stuff. There's certainly been some speculation about an achievement system, and this screenshot from yesterday's Wii U conference has led some to believe that it's now even more likely to be implemented. If you look closely, you'll notice a gold bar that says, "Cleared in under 100 seconds," with a picture of a player's Mii avatar underneath. I know it's now exactly an iron clad guarantee, but it would make sense given that we already know the Miiverse set-up is a feature attached at system level to every console. Then again, it could just be a mini-game challenge in the game it's taken from, which is apparently the upcoming Wii U version of New Super Mario Bros.

You can expect Microsoft's press conference to be the source of the greatest number of memes, at any rate.

I'll probably pay $10 even though I already own all the games. That's how much I usually tend to pay, anyway. It's also more than a little debatable as to whether or not Psychonauts can be considered an indie game, but I'm not fussed about the ins and outs of the issue myself. It's a wonderfully imaginative game that's worth anyone's time, even if the last level is an exercise in devilish frustration.

Apparently, Kuwaiti millionaire Fawaz Al-Hasawi could be set to purchase Nottingham Forest very soon.

Fine, be like that. I didn't want one anyway.

UFC 3 is THQ too, though.

Not that I'm doubting the supposed roster leak, but where did it come from?
