It’s been quite some time since Dirt 2 was released so it would only make sense that Codemasters was working on a sequel. However, up until now we didn’t hear anything about it. Now, Codemaster’s VP Gavin Cheshire sat down for an interview with Edge and said the following, “there’s some really great stuff coming from Birmingham that’s going into Dirt 3.” As you can see, he didn’t even really announce it he just casually mentioned it like we all already knew it was coming.

So, any bets on when Dirt 3 will be released?

Dragon Age: Origins Awakening hasn’t even hit store shelves yet but apparently someone has already gotten their hands on a retail copy. In said retail copy is a card that says Dragon Age 2 (whatever it is to be called) will hit store shelves on February 1, 2011. Could this be correct?

EA has yet to even announce a sequel to the game but already they have it dated, down to the day? Perhaps we will be hearing an official announcement for Dragon Age 2 within the next couple of days considering Awakening is set to drop on March 16th.

The Nintendo Wii and DS have been on store shelves for some time now but that doesn’t mean sales have ceased. In fact, Nintendo has just sent out press release stating theat they have sold 1.9 million consoles in January and February of this year alone.

And, if you’ll remember, Nintendo is set to launch the DSi XL on March 28th of this month which will translate into even more sales for the company.

Looks like Nintendo isn’t facing any financial woes.

Some new information regarding the Activision vs. Infinity Ward ordeal has just emerged — It seems that the morale of the remaining Infinity Ward employees is quite low due to their bosses being laid off. And, to add to that, Activision is withholding the royalties they owe these employees for Modern Warfare 2. This has led to speculation that Activision is withholding these royalties so the rest of the team stays on board.

Sounds a bit fishy, don’t it? Let’s hope Infinity Ward comes out on top of this one.

If you’ve been following Fable 3 you’ll know that there was no mention of a PC version of the game. This doesn’t come as a surprise considering there was no PC version of Fable 2. However, there was a PC version of the original Fable which had PC gamers everywhere satisfied.

Luckily, at this year’s GDC, Peter Molyneux took center stage and said that he would love to see the Fable franchise on the PC. He didn’t state, however, that the game would in fact be hitting the PC. So, we’ll just have to assume until an official announcement is made that we won’t be seeing a PC version of Fable 3 dropping anytime soon.

If you have the Collector’s Edition of Silent Hunter 5 you may have noticed some “offendeing World War II-related symbols” in the bonus content. This may seem fine and well considering the game is a submarine sim, but not in Germany. Ubisoft has issued a recall for the German version of this game due to the above mentioned problem and the fact that it violates German law.

While there was no mention of what exactly these symbols were we’re going to go out on a limb and assume they were swastikas.

Considering the Uncharted franchise is so important to Sony it’s rather strange that we haven’t seen a PSP version of the game. Well, if Naughty Dog‘s co-president Evan Wells has anything to do with it that will all change very soon.

Below he comments:

“I think it would be fantastic to see the game (move) onto a handheld system. Each one of the episodes is sort of like a standalone thing and I think we could do that pretty easily. If we can find a partner to work with, I’d love to do that … we definitely wouldn’t do it ourselves. We’re trying to just focus on the PS3 technology and platform right now. But, if we can’t find a partner, then maybe we’re going to have to find a budget ourselves.”

So, while he doesn’t actually confirm the fact that an Uncharted game is headed to the PSP he does confirm the fact that the studio is definitely thinking about it.

If you weren’t lucky enough to get in on the All Points Bulletin beta don’t be discouraged — Word has just gotten out that Realtime Worlds has begun sending out yet another wave of APB beta invites. Of course, you’re not guaranteed an invite for doing anything but I’m sure heading over to their site, here, and signing up for the beta will help your chances.

Unfortunately, for those of you who just want the real game, Realtime Worlds has yet to give us word of a solid release date.

About a week ago Sony let us in on their big announcement which turned out to be SOCOM 4. Love it or hate it, the SOCOM franchise is a valuable asset to Sony and the Playstation 3 in general. Not long after SOCOM 4 got announced, Sony announced Playstation Move, the official name for the fabled Playstation Motion Controller. These two announcements led gamers everywhere to ask if the two would work in harmony. The answer? Yes, they will.

At GDC Sony announced that SOCOM 4 will be one of the games that will utilize Move. Of course, you’re still going to be able to use a normal Dual Shock 3 controller but if you want to get a little more immersion and use Move, you can do that too.

There has been no official confirmation from Activision regarding Guitar Hero 6 but Gene Simmons has something to say about it. Word comes to us from an interview with Game On where Kiss’ main man insists that he “is the voice of Guitar Hero 6″, effectively confirming the game’s existence.

Unfortunately, Simmons failed to give us any details regarding when we will see the title or what it will be like so we’re still stuck waiting for Activision on that front.
