That's Kanako Kondou, not the character per se, but the actress is lending her voice to the game. Once again. Kondou already voices fighter Noel Vermillion as well as cyborg ν-13 and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift's cyborg Λ-11. In the console version, Kondou will be voicing new character μ-12. She has the market cornered on BlazBlue cyborgs! Continuum Shift will be released in Japan on the PS3 and the Xbox 360 this summer. [Pic]

During the company's financial results report from earlier today, EA claim that from April 2009 to December 2009, it was the biggest-selling publisher of packaged goods in North America and Europe (Europe, we already knew). Not all goods, mind ...

Rockstar Games has updated the look of its Red Dead Redemption box art, looking noticeably less red, much more The Good, The Bad and the Ugly than before and more like the John Marston of the game. Updated box art means the release date of April 27 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is looking, finally, much closer to reality. Keep your fingers crossed and... look out behind you, Marston! Thanks, Sam!

These custom Mario 64 music tracks from YouTube user TheGrinz might never make it past the Rock Band Network's copyright violation checks, but they're still impressive as hell. Kotakuite Nick pointed me towards these videos, created using Harmonix's tools for porting songs to the Rock Band Network, and Koji Kondo's Mario 64 music really seems to work well in the format. Watching the drum line in the Bowser theme had my leg aching though, so ...
