During an SCEJ press event this afternoon at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony finally announced a release date for Gran Turismo 5. And it’s not in 2009. The game will be out in Japan in March 2010. Which is still months away. A shame, we know, but then, GT fans have been waiting years for…

What’s Inside Sony’s Mystery Box?
Sony’s booth at TGS has a number of big glass display cases. One, however, is hidden. Its contents, a mystery. Whatever could it be? Its contents will obviously be revealed following Sony’s TGS presser. Our bet? Since it’s in the PSP section, it’ll be the “solution” for transferring your UMD games to the PSPgo. That…

PC Version Of Borderlands Delayed
The 360 and PS3 versions of Gearbox’s shooter Borderlands are coming along nicely, and are still expected on October 20. But the PC version, well, it’ slipped a little.

PC Sales Charts: Yeah Yeah, Aion
With the game out this week, you’d think sales of MMO Aion would have dropped off. That maybe it was one of those “get in early” types of games, with sales dying down once it was released. Nope. NCSoft’s MMO is still #1 on both the Steam and Direct2Drive charts, to the point where it…
