EA's highly polished survival space horror Dead Space is set to hit the Wii in prequel format with Dead Space Extraction and some new screenshots were released today showing a couple of gameplay images and concept art.

Once upon a time, a little company called Marvel announced they were making a Massively Multiplayer Online game featuring their suite of very popular comic book characters. Nerds, geeks and assorted ginger kids the world over cried out hallellujah! For all their prayers had been answered. But then the tears.

Shelving, cancellation and before you knew it we were wailing and throwing ourselves upon the cold corpse of a game that never even existed off paper.

As promised in the Podcast this week, here's the Batman: Arkham Asylum game and as you can see it finally pushed Stormrise off (or at least sideways) my anticopatometer top spot.

The Today show recently ran a segment showcasing Professor Craig Anderson's report on the effects that violent videogames have on youngsters. I do my best not to get too angry when shows like Today, Sunrise, A Current Affair or Today Tonight run segments geared towards informing parents of what their kids are 'really doing'. These stories are usually sensational and do nothing by piss me off before I've even had my morning coffee.

Tonight on That Aussie Gamecast…

We finally get the chance to slash our way through the Dark Athena in the upcoming Chronicles of Riddick game. The Wanted: Weapons of Fate demo hits and we find out whether it’s going to be worth your hard-earned cash come April. Is Resident Evil 5 really that good? We’ll tell you later on in the show… but yes. It really is that good.

We’ve got more news on DLC for Fallout 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV and we wrap up the show with our most anticipatometer exploding games.

It's almost time to put away the anorak and snow goggles and leave Alaska for Pittsburg. That's right Bethseda's masterpiece Fallout 3 is about to recieve its second lot of DLC in the form of "The Pitt". The Pitt is an industrial raider town that is set in the remains of Pittsburgh. Much like the original game well known locations are visible throughout and "The Pitt" makes no exception with Cathedral of Learning being clearly visible in the teaser trailer.

Some great news regarding Resident Evil 5 has just busted out of a window like an African Majini. Capcom has announced that there will be some DLC being released very shortly.The DLC will include a new multiplayer mode which pits players against each other in a contest of survival and will be available on both the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Good news out of the house of Epic. Get your favourite red marker and scrawl March 31 on your Megan Fox calendar. On this date Epic will release one shiny new map pack and a full week earlier a title update will make some changes to the contemptable True Skill system of ranking.

I love me some RPG. For me the epitome of a virtual world game is one you really feel like you can get lost in. Games like The Witcher, Fallout 3, Fable, these games ring my bell big time.

Trouble is games as good as these, really competent RPG's that balance fun and realism with giant worlds are few and far between. Now it seems I have a new game to watch out for.

Yesterday Resident Evil 5 was released here in Australia, but it's actually been out in Japan long enough for players to discover that it's possible to unlock secret costumes for the game's characters.

Sheva's unlockable costume has been doing the rounds online and it's... it's rather raunchy. Capcom really need to be commended for dressing Sheva suitably for an African zombie apocalypse. I'm joking of course, so allow me to construct a lesson on authenticity...
