This morning, it appears that Microsoft have launched a minor, and rather bizarre, marketing campaign. Directly highlighting the rivalry for those in-the-know and referring to an Xbox 360 release that's now regularly available at a discounted price, it appears Microsoft still have faith in the original release of Ninja Gaiden II.

In affiliation with Amazon.com, TripleChat is happy to bring you the new releases each week for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable. Along with new game releases they will also highlight the top five bluray releases each week that they feel will best suite movie and TV show fans alike.

Remember last week? Remember how uneventful it was? Well guess what, that's over this week. While game wise the selection is about the same on the PS3 and PS2 – this week it is all about the PSP Go. Oh yes, after just a few short months of waiting since E3, the PSP Go launches this week (October 1 to be exact)! Included this week in their special PSP Go Launch Center are the two big releases this week for both the Go and PSP 1000-3000 and those are Gran Turismo and MotorStorm: Arctic Edge.

On PS3 the biggest release this week is the sequel to Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Slated originally as a 360 exclusive (as was the predecessor), the sequel comes to us with more features, better graphics, and maybe even more cleavage!

On the bluray side of things the biggest release this week is the 70th Anniversary Collector's Edition of The Wizard of Oz. Outside of taking a stroll down the yellow brick road, they have two animated flicks for you – one featuring Monsters and Aliens, the other featuring Superman and Batman. To finish it there is a 2003 remake of a classic coming to high def for the super low price of $10 and one of the better independent films of 2009!

Also if you've got Batman: Arkham Asylum make sure to download the free Insane Night DLC. Lastly, Trine developer Frozenbyte says the long-awaited game is coming tomorrow, but given it's track record, we'll be keeping it in the Rumored Section just in case.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 may not be coming for a little while longer (it now has an official October 1 release date in Japan), but details on the PlayStation 3 sequel update are beginning to trickle through the Japanese game media. Top among the news this week: the announcement that Sigma 2 will have online co-op, though not as part of the main game story.

According to Famitsu magazine, Sigma 2's "Team Mission" mode will offer a wide selection of one-off missions, which you can choose from freely and decide which characters you want to challenge them with. Having a second player is not a must -- you can play through the missions with a CPU-controlled ally -- but playing online is half of the fun with this sort of thing, right?
