One does not simply code into Mordor
After years of rumours and hushed whispers, it's finally official: there will be a LEGO Lord of the Rings game.
Smashing hopes
We've only just asked if Kid Icarus could be Nintendo's next big franchise, but along comes Kid Icarus: Uprising director Masahiro Sakurai to say he won't create a sequel.
Age rating outed
It's been a while since we had an update on Zen Studios' Marvel Pinball 3D, but fear not — it's definitely still happening.

Sony sold 13.9 million PS3 consoles in the last financial year, down from 14.3 million in the previous year.

Capcom's upcoming Dragon's Dogma is a solo-only experience, but that doesn't mean it hasn't got intriguing online capabilities too. The publisher just revealed online quests for multiple players, the first featuring a fearsome Ur-Dragon.

Datura is here
A bit of a short week for North America this time around, with one new game for PS3 owners and no new titles for Vita fans. Here's what's available this week.
