As if we weren't excited enough about this summer's World Cup, EA has chosen to whet our appetites further still with a fresh batch of Xbox 360 screens of its officially licensed 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany.
And while we're sure the gaming scene is very big in Argentina, it would have been nice if EA had shown us the England side lifting the trophy instead. Still, you'll be able to take your chosen team all the way to glory and bring the Jules Rimet home to every major

Ever dreamt of getting up close and personal with two of the world’s most famous sporting icons - the FIFA World Cup Trophy and Wayne Rooney? Of course you have.
OK. FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa is a football game. You know, soccer, with a ball, a pitch, some goals, 22 men and some corner flags. How would you launch that game if you were the PR guy/gal responsible for it?
Maybe try to get Wayne Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo to show up? Becks isn't going to the World Cup, but he'd still be a massive coup if you could persuade him to come along in exchange for a few readies. Nah, Japan doesn't care for all that malarkey. They went with this:
Recently resurrected publisher Acclaim has released the first details of 2Moons - a new MMORPG for PCs, which is being worked on by Earthworm Jim and Enter The Matrix developer, Dave Perry.
Based on an existing MMORPG called Dekaron - which is already a success in Korea - Acclaim has drafted in Perry to work alongside Dekaron's developer, GameHi, to specifically tailor 2Moons for the tastes of Western gamers.

The newest entry in the Virtual Skipper series has obtained the America's Cup license and the race happy lads behind TrackMania intend to make full use of it.

It's no small secret that Atlus's upcoming adventure-'em-up is a direct homage to The Legend of Zelda. Everything from the character designs to the map layout to the music to the in-game items to the... well, everything, is soaking with references to Nintendo's long-running franchise.
So much, in fact, that we can scarcely believe Nintendo hasn't launched a full battalion of lawyers straight at Atlus HQ, especially after this trailer that's practically flaunting Heroes's similarities.
