Well, there was a week Nintendo would like to forget. Ninja Gaiden and Rayman go multiplatform. Plus, Scribblenauts and even f**king Rayman get delayed. Beyond: Two Souls however, will at least see a release this year on PS3. Skyrim PS3 DLC finally gets dated, but it doesn't matter because everyone now wants The Witcher 3 instead.
Our reviews include Skulls of the Shogun on XBLA and a few games for the Vita in the shape of Orgarhythm and Dokuro. Features include Top Ten Hack n' Slashers, podcasts, an Anno Online hands-on preview, a video of the first 20 minutes of Dead Space 3 and my Sunday Seven article focuses on a few extra reveals we may see at Sony's upcoming presser in addition to the PlayStation 4.
