Albatross overload: This game is set in Australia. The penguin stands on one side of a see-saw while the yeti stomps on the other end.

Wii Sports Resort heralds the introduction of Wii MotionPlus, a peripheral that refines the motion sensing capabilities of the remote which we sampled at last year's E3.

Game News:

Game critics across the net have all agreed Valkyria Chronicles is a wonderful game. In fact, the generally un-noticed title garnered a Metacritic score of 87, from a total of 58 reviews. So how could a game that is so well received by critics suffer from such poor sales?

Part of the reason for the poor sales was its release date. It was released during the overly flooded holiday season, where the majority of the biggest games drop. During this season, the PlayStation 3 saw a huge wave of blockbuster releases with LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Bioshock, Buzz! Quiz TV, Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, Far Cry 2 and many more. As you can plainly see from all these heavily promoted, big name titles… Valkyria Chronicles could easily be lost in the shadows. Not to mention the market generally buys FPS games over anything else these days.

VC is a strategy RPG, with a just a touch of shooter mixed in. The campaign is over 30 hours long, and has one of the most enjoyable casts in an RPG. Comraderie plays the lead, as you fight to drive the Emperial forces back out of your native country of Gallia. The anime/cartoony visuals at first were a bit of a turnoff, but after a while I soon came to appreciate the ‘painted’ look of this title. There isn’t any trophy support (which shouldn’t deter you from a stellar game anyway), but trophies may be coming soon, especially since the game has some DLC on the way. Even the DLC is set to shine, as it will allow you to play as the Empire. Who wouldn’t want to play as the bad guys for a change?

This week, during its ‘Game Days’ sale, Gamestop is offering Valkyria Chronicles for the low, low price of just $29.99. Do yourself a favor and pick up this title. You will not be disappointed. It will be the last time you tell anyone, including yourself, “The PS3 doesn’t have any quality RPGs.”

Flash Tetris

Killzone 2 ships 600,000 in NA, first DLC due April

Killzone 2 is one of Sony's highest-profile exclusives, so its strong debut last month came as no real surprise. According to industry stat-trackers the NPD Group, Guerrilla Games' long-in-the-making sci-fi shooter sold 323,000 units in the US in just 48 hours following its February 27 release on the PlayStation 3. With NPD expected to release its sales estimates for March next week, Sony has independently confirmed that Killzone 2 has continued to sell well.

Speaking to Game Daily, Sony Computer Entertainment of America vice president of product marketing Scott Steinberg said this week that Killzone 2 sales have "exceeded our expectations," having surpassed the 500,000 unit mark. [UPDATE] GameSpot has since confirmed with Sony that Killzone 2's most-recent sell-through total--meaning copies of the game sold to retailers--stands at 600,000 units in North America only.

"Killzone 2 has been the fastest SCEA PS3 title to break the 500,000 unit mark and it's also the highest selling SCEA PS3 title for the first 30 days out of launch," Steinberg told Game Daily. "So far, we are extremely happy with the results."

To keep that 500,000-strong army interested in the title, Guerrilla Games has also detailed the first batch of downloadable content for the shooter. Speaking to Game Trailers last night, Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst revealed that the first DLC pack, titled Steel and Titanium, will contain two multiplayer maps. Pricing information was not detailed, but Hulst did confirm that the pack will be available "toward the end of April."

The first map is set aboard the ISA tech cruiser New Sun, and Hulst noted that gameplay will focus on vertically oriented firefights. "You've got multiple decks, so you'll be shot at from walkways upstairs as well as downstairs," he said. The second map takes place aboard two high-speed Helghast freight trains, with gamers tasked with navigating the precarious routes between the two speeding bullets.

"These are two fan favorite settings from single-player that we're bringing over," commented Hulst on the upcoming maps. "However, going forward, you're going to get some proper new features as well." As for those future releases, Hulst teased that the next DLC pack will revive a number of maps from the original Killzone, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004.
