The latest Tekken 6 trailer shows off the game's two player co-op campaign mode. There's something special about this trailer though, as I'm sure you can already determine from the screenshot above. The video shows Yoshimitsu fighting in the Cardboard Tube Samurai outfit made famous by the Penny-Arcade character which is unlockable in the game.
Two releases hit the shelves this week. The first is a little game featuring some indie band called The Beatles, coming in various packages, with premium instruments, standard instruments, and even without instruments at all. Of course, individual guitars are available too. The second release is the Game of the Year edition of popular co-op title LittleBigPlanet. This edition has lots of previous DLC content included, and also a dozen custom levels made by fans. Plenty of good co-op action out there this week!
Today, Sega's Dreamcast system turns 10 years old. A system most consider ahead of its time, the Dreamcast still has a lot of classic titles that are played today. Sega's console met an early demise thanks to the juggernaut that is Sony and their announcement of the PlayStation 2. It only lived a little over two years, but it was an amazing two years.
Last week we unveiled a brand new live action trailer for Halo 3: ODST along with some unique information from the PAX panel. Today, Gametrailers has an exclusive version of the trailer that's a full one minute longer than the original.

One accessory that seems to be becoming extremely popular are gaming headsets. What's a gaming headset? It's a pair of headphones that offers solid positional audio combined with a microphone for voice communication. Turtle Beach had a few pairs of their latest and greatest headsets on display on the show floor, and I put my ears to the test.

Gearbox has just kicked off a new series of promo clips for Borderlands, the first which introduces a little robot named Claptrap. If you attended the Gearbox Panel at PAX 2009, well then you've seen this. If not, well then you need to watch it. The video attempt to describe the game's randomly generated monsters...but there's some...uh...difficulties.
