Sorry it's late!

Bethesda Softworks announced today that the European release of Star Trek: Conquest, a blend of strategy and action set in the Next Generation era, will be available on the Wii and PlayStation 2 in Q1 2008.

Square Enix announced this morning that it will be releasing Odin Sphere in Europe on 14th March 2008 exclusively on the PlayStation 2.

The general idea about games based on movies is that they suck. Simply put, they are almost always poorly rated and just low-quality titles. That isn't for no reason, of course. Game developers and publishers who make these games are usually on serious time restraints that force them to pump out a game by the movie's release date.

Matt Keller played Art of Fighting Anthology. This combines the Art of Fighting trilogy, originally borne out of the "Street Fighter craze" in the early 1990's, into one package. If you remember those days then this title may bring back memories, but if you never played any of the games in the trilogy what can you expect? Hopefully our review will help to answer that question.

Sega has revealed the official website for the European release of Sega Superstars Tennis, which is to be released on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PS2.

The website is fairly empty at the moment, although a release date has been published which lists the game as a March 20th 2008 release. You'll also find a trailer, screenshots, game info and a pre-order option for those of you that are interested.

It's difficult to say what defines a game. Obviously, there are lots of different factors, and at GDC this morning there was a conference with three developers who were discussing just that.

What they talk about is actually very, very deep, considering things like the psychology behind gaming, what makes games fun, and what people want out of games these days. Headed by the main developers for flOw and Everyday Shooter, and one other indie developer, this is one of the few things about the gaming industry that makes people who work in it proud to do what they do.

Activision has enlisted the rock legends for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, you'll be reliving this legendary band on their path to fame.

According to Best Buy the rocking won't be limited to just strumming the guitar, hinting players will get to fill all the roles of legends Joey Kramer, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Steven Tyler.

When I say East vs West, I mean that its Asia vs America. That's right, 2K games is having their basketball tournament, which has quietly been going on in both areas the last two months, end with an all-star game-esque game in New Orleans with the best American players against the best Asian players.

At the tournament the semi-finals for US players and the finals between the winners will take place. As an added bonus, the winners will get to play some professional players, Chris Paul, Rudy Gay, and Mike Conley. Though I can't imagine that would be much of a challenge.

I wonder if they'll play it on the 360, PS3 or PS2.

Full release after the jump.
