Tons of games get announced, but not all are thread worthy, so a nice place to dump news if you want.

First up, two new RPGs from Nintendo

Vanquish
A new game from the father of Resident Evil and the studio that bought us Bayonetta/Madworld.

That guy who helped with some of the original FF is actually the creator of FF. ;)

I didn't want to say that because it isn't one person who creates a game/franchise, but I guess he is considered the father.

The Xenoblade looks like a miniature mass relay from Mass Effect. And it sounds like Nobuo Uematsu is composing the music for The Last Story - which would be pretty sweet.

Anyway, not much to say until I see more. But more RPGs are always a good thing.

Brand New DS Pokemon Announced! Not some remake.

Meh Lost Odyssey was a terrible game. I do not expect much.

This is just some cleaning up,

This game will most likely be a disappointment, but a game based on Batman: Brave and the Bold.

http://games.kidswb.com/official-site/brave-and-the-bold-the-videogame/

I do like the series, but thus far Arkham Asylum has been the most successful game and wasn't based on anything.

The game is for Wii/DS which I assume means its the kid-friendly game for when Arkham asylum 2 drops.

It will be a co-op experience that also allows you to link the Wii with the DS to unlock Bat-Mite, who will be controlled via the DS in the Wii Version of the game. Wayforward is developing the games while Warner Bros. has announced Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle and Aquaman as playable characers with "dozens of popular villians" to fight. We will keep you informed with as much info as we can as time moves on.

Nice Valve has announced Portal 2, I'm curious how they will release this though, the first one was an awesome game, but would never pay more than 20 bucks for it on its own. Unless they bundle with TF 2 Plus for 360.

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.

Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards.

For more information, please visit www.steamgames.com

Seems like the game will offer co-op play.

Apparently The Grinder is still a FPS on the Wii. Instead of the announced 3rd person top-view one for PS360.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Sniper Elite
PC game I believe being ported to the Wii. Claims most realistic sniper shooter. Wonder if its cheap on Steam.
