Thanks to Gamers.com for the news that Namco has announced a PlayStation 2 spin-off title starring Tekken's Nina Williams, according to this week's issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu Weekly. It seems this Nina-starring game "...has the look of a 3D brawler along the lines of [but hopefully with better playability than!] Dream Factory's The Bouncer. It's tentatively scheduled for release in 2004" - more details/screens are likely at the Tokyo Game Show next week. In other Japanese news, the same issue of Famitsu also rated the Capcom-published Japanese version of Grand Theft Auto, giving it a relatively lofty 32/40, and a Gold award.

Hopefully it'll be as better than Mortal Kombat Mythologies...boy was that a disappointment.

Sex sells, this is nothing new. Never has been.

Originality is overrated. Just look at Black & White.

Originality is overrated. Just look at Black & White.

Gameplay matters. Just look at B&W.
