Europe is happy to be receiving Unreal Tournament 3 for the Xbox 360 a weekend early. Midway confirmed the news that it will be arriving on the 4th of July – which is three days earlier than the game will be hitting stores in the U.S.

They also stated that the Xbox version will be available with all of the downloadable content available to users on the retail disc along with split-screen support, and five new maps. The split-screen support will allow human players in the local area to play.

One of the more popular games on PS3 – Metal Gears Solid DLC – is making its way to Xbox 360 gamers and I think we can all agree that this is something we have been looking forward to for quite some time. For now this is just a rumor and we are still waiting for the official announcement from Microsoft.

However, good sources are telling us to start celebrating and to prepare our pocketbooks. There shouldn’t be any problems with the game converting to Microsoft. In fact they may find that this will boost their sales and give them an edge in the console war.

EA has put a stop to all production for the PS3 version of Red Alert 3. They will be focusing all of their attention on the PC and Xbox 360 versions to make sure that they are released on schedule.

 “We can confirm that the development of Red Alert 3 for PS3 has been put on hold. EALA is focusing resources on development for PC and Xbox 360 which will ship simultaneously this autumn,” said EA PR manager Jonathan Goddard.

A game based on the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series will be coming out on the Nintendo DS and Wii. ‘Rebel Scum’ – a Star Wars fan site – released the information and stated that the ad is in the manual for the up and coming Lego Indiana Jones game.

The game is said to be released this fall. The animated series is a storyline that is between Episodes I and II. A theatrical trailer will be released for the game on August 15th.

Nintendo revealed a few new titles that are going to be released for the service in Japan. These new titles include Star Soldier R, Doctor Mario, and Pokemon Farm.

While the initial announcement seemed more geared towards low-budget, independent developers, major publishers are interested as well. Square Enix will reportedly upload the entire Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles game to the service.

The new Wii titles will be shipped out for the U.S. sometime in 2008.
