Metroid: Other M is a single player shooter for Wii that takes the beloved Metroid franchise into uncharted and exciting new territory. Set between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, the game features unprecedented access to the backstory, thoughts and in-game interactions of the usually closed off heroine of the series, Samus Aran. Developed jointly by Nintendo and the celebrated Japanese development studio, Team Ninja, the game also features exciting play options, including the ability to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives, pointer and sideways Wii Remote controller orientation, stunning in-game cinematics and a classic blend of Metroid action and puzzle-solving gameplay.

Aerial warfare has evolved. So have you. As a member of the ultra-secret HAWX 2 squadron, you are one of the chosen few. One of the truly elite. You will use finely honed reflexes, bleeding-edge technology and ultra-sophisticated aircraft their existence denied by many governments ֖ to dominate the skies. You will do so by mastering every nuance of the worlds finest combat aircraft. You will slip into enemy territory undetected, deliver a crippling blow and escape before he can summon a response. You will use your superior technology to decimate the enemy from afar, then draw him in close for a pulse-pounding dogfight. You will do all this with professionalism, skill and consummate lethality. Because you are a member of HAWX 2. And you are one of the finest military aviators the world has ever known.

Newly reunited band's upcoming album will not only be available for purchase through Guitar Hero later this year, new copies of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will come packaged with a physical copy of it.
We're pretty late with this one, I admit. But when you factor in that it's been nearly 13 years since the last Soundgarden release and even longer since their breakup in early 1997, "better late than never" seems appropriate. USA Today revealed back on August 3rd that Soundgarden, whom reunited back in January, would be packaging their upcoming compilation album, Telephantasm: A Retrospective, with the first print run of Activision's Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
This marks the first time a physical copy of a music album has been included with Guitar Hero, although a compilation "Companion Pack" CD was released for Guitar Hero III, and serves to further connect the music and video game industries. Telephantsm will include 11 previously released songs, including Black Hole Sun and Spoonman, as well as Black Rain, a previous unreleased song recorded back in 1991. Black Rain will be an on-disc song for Warriors of Rock, while the other 11 songs will be available for download and play on day one.
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is scheduled for a September 28th release for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Telephantasm: A Retrospective is scheduled for release on October 5th, with a "Deluxe Edition" and a "Limited Edition" available on September 28th.

Leaked pictures of the newest edition of V Jump magazine reveal two new Tales games, one enhanced port.
While Namco's track record with regards to localizing its Tales line of RPGs has been a sore spot of series fans for years, those disappointed by Tales of Graces being skipped over may have a second shot. Scans of this month's V Jump revealed Tales of Graces F, a PlayStation 3 port of the game due out later this year with various extras. There's no guarantee Graces F will fare any better with Namco's North American branch, however the lack of region locking on the PlayStation 3 does lend itself better to importing.
Also announced today was Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 for the PSP. The third entry in the series will feature over 80 characters, including the main protagonist from Tales of Graces, and is set to be released sometime next year.
Finally, we received our first glimpse of the next "mothership" title in the series. The 13th core entry, as yet untitled, will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive. The only image shown was of a city, so details beyond the announcement are virtually nonexistent. Team Symphonia, also responsible for Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Vesperia, is rumored to be the developer. We're still far from seeing it release in Japan, however if any of these games do make it out of Japan this will probably be the one.
