So, what was going on at Kotaku last week? So much, you'd think Christmas was just around the corner! Here's the best of the lot.

Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America bigwig, did a lot of talking this past week. He spoke to the Mercury News about his thoughts on the Xbox 360 launch and Nintendo's next-gen vision, again to Brand Week about, yup, the Xbox 360 launch, the PS3 and Nintendo's next-gen vision, and very late in the week to G4 where he dropped a Twilight Princess delay bomb.

Rockstar made headlines again when the Grand Theft Auto series drew ire from yet another group, the Sex Workers Outreach Project. Apparently, they don't like the fact that you can pummel to death scores of prostitutes without fear of repurcussion.

Speaking of outrage, did you see these new Bomberman: Act Zero scans? Can a Bomberman filled with generic rage win over Xbox 360 owners? Will cutesy Bomberman afficionados sign up for Xbox Live bomb battles? Are we living in Bizarro World?!

Nintendo revealed at their recent corporate conference that Nintendo DS owners will now be able to use their favorite double screened device to surf not only the Web, but their favorite over-the-air TV shows. Screens and mockups are here, with con photos here. Later in the week, Kotaku finally got its manly foreign correspondent hands on a real life Nintendo DS Lite, which sees wide release in Japan just ten days from now.

Obviously the most important news from last week was the promo shot heard 'round the world, this photo of the new Lara Croft spokesmodel. Early screens look good, but we're hoping for more "hands on" time before we post any in-depth impressions.

Over a thousand Kotaku readers sounded off on what they feel are the biggest challenges facing next-gen games, the developers who make them, and the gamers who love them. It's patently obvious that the Kotakuan population are sick and tired of this gen's glut of sequels.

Earthbound fans got their first look at screens of the highly anticipated RPG Mother 3 last week. The GBA title has been under wraps since its announcement, with constant teases in the form of logos, soundtrack tidbits, and developer hints. No official North American release has been announced.

And finally, the Second Coming of Christ is apparently shipping before the end of 2006, according to Jesus' appearance on an Xbox 360 box. Sadly, such an event only inspired crass commercialism, which you can be a part of for a mere $3400! Amen.
