It seems like the pirates are at it again – Resident Evil 5 has ended up on the internet already, a week before its release on 13th March. Apparently it’s an Xbox 360 US version which seems to be region free. If this is true, Capcom won’t be happy. By the way, don’t you think of downloading it or you may just get a T-Virus.

Killzone 2’s been out a week and already it’s Sony’s 4th best-selling game ever. It doesn’t quite beat the PS3 record set by Gran Turismo Prologue but it’s Sony’s first all-formats chart topper since God of War 2 in April 2007. Well done Sony! Related: Killzone 2 review, Killzone 2 Xbox 360 version
Sony’s announced some new titles for the PSP. Following the success of the Buzz migration to the handheld, Little Big Planet and Motorstorm are also finding their way to the powerful little machine later in the year. EA are getting in on the act by bringing Rockband to the PSP as well. Let’s hope it’s better than Activision’s Guitar Hero World Tour effort on the DS. Related: Guitar Hero World Tour, Buzz
