The big news here for PlayStation 3 fans is the announcement of the previously Xbox 360 exclusive Tales of Vesperia for the PS3, bringing one of the better Tales tales told in years to the Sony platform. Along with the Vesperia news, we also see the official announcement of Tales of VS, a fighting game for the PSP along the same lines as Dissidia: Final Fantasy. and Tales of Graces for the Wii, the first original Wii game in the Tales series, two game names that McWhertor discovered earlier last month using his magical trademark-sniffing powers.

So then how do you play the game? According to IGN:

You shake the two devices [the Wii Remote and the Analog Peripheral] in turn to accelerate, shaking just one to veer in a particular direction. To jump, you raise the Wiimote and nunchuck together. You can also punch enemies and obstacles and throw barrels; we presume developer Paon has thought up some clever control options for these moves."

Clever. Now all I need is a cup-holder accessory and the whole thing will bring new meaning to the phrase "drunk driving". Kim Phu

Is the fact that the Wii has no rumble old news? Is it news at all? I have to admit, when I played with the Wiimote in Leipzig, I did notice that it didn't vibrate steadily in my hands in response to my movements... giving the entire thing a frictionless air that made me think of trying to play a light-gun game while holding the controller upside down. Still, I just sort of assumed it hadn't been programmed in yet.

Nevertheless, according to this scan from the UK magazine NGame, Rumble is entirely out in the Wii. The much tiny speaker has replaced it in the design and they even quote Shigeru Miyamoto.

If true, that's disappointing. Personally, I'd rather have rumble than a speaker, if I can't have both. Thanks to Kotakuite George for the tip! Florian Eckhardt

Although Gears of War won't be available until November, when Microsoft hopes it will deliver a hay maker straight to the crotch of Sony's Playstation 3 launch, the cheese sniffers over at XBoxygen somehow managed to get their escargot begreased hands on Gears of War's Collector's Edition booklet, and there's a lot of beautiful art, enemies, weapons and details to oggle. There's no word yet on whether or not the booklet is limited to the Collector's Edition, or if it will also be available to you cheap plebs. Florian Eckhardt

Adorable video game and robot blog DESTRUCTOID! has some new poop on a weird but lovely cel-shaded game, Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream ("Chopin no Yume" for the Japanese version). And they are mighty dubious!

Yes, as in the composer! Trusty Bell first appeared on this site as an unnamed Tri-Crescendo project that now appears to be in full swing. The members of the NeoGAF forum dug up these new famitsu scans revealing a beautiful cell shaded world akin to that of Blue Dragon and the other handful of gorgeous looking new japanase role playing games we must across the ocean drooling over. Before you pop a vein, read the premise of this game because it sounds a little... what's the word I'm looking for... "retarded" ? I just can't that excited about anything involving Polka. We'll see.

So far, the thing I dig most about this weird little title are the ridiculous costumes. Little top hats and frock coats all the way, damn it! Magazine scans with caption translations over at the ol' TOID. Eliza gauger

Trusty Bell brings cell shaded Chopin to the Xbox 360. The quest to save Polka? Um, ok. [DESTRUCTOID!]
