A videogame version of Ratatouille, Pixar Animation's latest project about a French rat who really wants to be a great chef, will be launched on just about every gaming platform you can think of next summer.
In case you can't think of that many platforms, here's the list: PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, GameCube, PC, DS and PSP. Mon dieu.
As the Parisian rodent, Remy, you'll be skittering through a bunch of minigames and cookery challenges themed around what publisher THQ promises are "the film's
"Wacky" and "zany." Two words we'd normally dodge, but today we embrace them both because this cute trailer for Wii launch game Rayman Raving Rabbids has melted even our stony hearts.
Not only is this clip both wacky and zany, it also reveals some of the minigames and their mechanics. So with a Rabbid at the controls of a Wii-mote, we see Rayman furiously building up speed to catapult a Rabbid dressed as Superman, firing plungers in a first-person shooter and drowning the fluffy terrors by

Your PSP looks lonely. Naked. Or maybe you already have some sort of case. What's so special about it? It can't possibly match up to the one pictured above for sheer balls-out badassness. Come on, does your case have a picture of Big Boss on it? Didn't think so. That's right: if you preorder Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, you can encase your PSP in this silver protector (we somehow doubt it's bulletproof, as appropriate as that would be.) Just head to EB Games, GameStop, Game

One of Link's more intriguing skills in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is his ability to transform into a wolf, and now you can see the transmogrification process for yourself in this new trailer.
Hit the movies tab to see the footage but, don't worry, there's no American Werewolf in London-style body-horror twistage to grimace at.
