Seems like Terminator Salvation isn’t the only problem PC gamers are facing, the highly anticipated Read Faction: Guerilla has been delayed on the PC by several months, according to Joystiq. The game will launch on the PS3 and Xbox 360 next week, while PC gamers will have to wait until August 25, although that date isn’t confirmed as of yet.

After the Sniper, no Spy. No, Sniper and Spy updates, Valve has revealed that this weekend, Team Fortress 2 will be free to play. If you haven’t tried this classic in the making, you owe it to yourself.

Two of the original five Rockstar founders, Jamie King and Gary Foreman, have announced that they have formed a new game studio called 4mm.

While the studio didn’t release any specific info on projects, citing more details will be released in the future, they did say that their first objectives would be to work on the mobile sector, specifically Apple’s iPhone platform and move to consoles later on.

Game publisher Midway has received an offer from Warner to acquire the bankrupt company, its assets and all its debts for $33 million. If successful, Warner would take over many of the popular license like Mortal Combat.

However, the deal will not include Midway-owned studios in San Diego and Newcastle. Midway confirmed that the offer has been made and will have 30 days to consider. The company also noted that several other buyers might be interested, although no formal offers have been made.

The cute and popular PS3 platform game Little Big Planet is getting a web-based portal for users to share their maps on.

The new web portal was revealed by developer Media Molecule in a game conference in Malmo, Sweden, where players will be able to share and promote their levels. Each level will be given a link to the download, which will then be easily shared on the PS3.

The portal will also feature statistics, leaderboards and create custom apps for services like Flickr and Google Maps. The new portal is in testing and is expected to launch later this year.

The Alien and Predator franchises are the biggest sci-fi powerhouses to be created since Star Wars and Star Trek. Despite the huge let-down of the long anticipated Alien Versus Predator films, the continuing battle between the vicious aliens and the honorable predators (not to mention the humans getting caught in the middle) still delights fans.

We’re now getting the first details regarding a new Alien Versus Predator game which is being developed by Rebellion, the team who created the original 1999 classic. If you’ve played either of the other two games the overall setup won’t be surprising. Its a first person shooter with a different storyline for each species, though the events of each will swirl together and inform each other.

The marine will rely on his array of fancy gadgets and weapons to help him against the more numerous and physically superior creatures, the predator uses his own gadgets and hunting skills to survive while the alien uses stealth, superior senses and sheer single-minded fury. There will also be a three-way multiplayer mode with each species battling for superiority.

The game is a multiplatform release, with versions for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 all planned to release in early 2010.

Without saying anything, Sega has gone ahead and released an iPhone port of the original Sonic the Hedgehog.

When I say original I mean the Sonic the Hedgehog released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis. As you can vaguely see from the screenshot, you’ll control sonic using an onscreen dpad and set of facebuttons.

For those of you who want to check this out you’re going to have to pay the $5.99 as there is currently no trial version available in the App Store. Get on that, Sega.

Slap Pikachu on virtually any piece of merchandise and bam, instant hit. It seems the guys behind Pokémon have decided to capitalize on the fact releasing a ‘Pikanicamp’ line of camping gear.

Kotaku says the line will include Pokémon Diamond/Pearl themed tents, chairs, flashlights, sunglasses, and mini-tables.

It’s cool for the kids and all but from the looks of it that tent probably won’t be much use if you’re actually going camping.

Be it a spoiler or not this is big news — It was recently discovered by a gamer who got their hands on Punch-Out!! that the game’s secret character is none other than Donkey Kong.

Check out the above video to see Little Mac duke it out with the massive ape in a 1v1 boxing match.

Punch-Out!!, a Wii take on the popular NES title Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!, hit store shelves on May 18th so it’s a wonder why the game’s secret character took so long to be discovered.

Apple’s iTunes music store is a hit, thats no secret, Sony’s PSP, not so much. However, if sources are to be believed Sony may be planning their own version of iTunes made especially for the PSP.

CNET is behind this one so it’s certainly a credible rumor with the website stating that Sony has been talking to some record labels to see who may be interested with a PSP Music Store.

Now it’s nice and all that Sony is giving PSP owners another reason to, well, use their PSP but how about focusing on expanding the consoles game library? I mean, I don’t even know the last time I heard about a PSP game that I wanted to buy.
