From the article: "Wild Arms XF will take the Wild West-themed RPG series in a new direction by offering tactical strategy gameplay. It is also the first Wild Arms game to appear on a handheld system.
The story has all the hallmarks of the RPG genre: A recent apocalypse, a neverending war, a fiendish and possibly corrupt royal family. Naturally, a plucky group of teenagers will be called on to save the world."

So last night at midnight Harmonix -- former developers of the Guitar Hero series -- and MTV's new rock and roll simulator,
Rock Band, had its first ever gigs. Of course,
Guitar Hero 3 fans have been shredding for weeks, and probably aren't about to sell one faux guitar for another (especially if it's
not even guaranteed to work). So which are you buying (or asking for)? What's that, you want our take? Ok, well, since you asked, when the talent (Harmonix) left the Guitar Hero series, we thought the new game suffered big time. Plus we're WAY more into the tracks on Rock Band -- c'mon, they've got Bowie and The Clash! -- but we kind of think the Guitar Hero Les Paul is better than the Rock Band Fender. Vote below in the battle of the bands, and may the rockingest win.

Remember Shinji Kazuma's
Finder Love for PSP? Of course you don't. Well, Capcom is giving Kazuma one more chance. As an action-adventure set against the backdrop of the urban underworld,
Shinjuku Wolf (PlayStation 2) looks to have more mainstream appeal than Kazuma's previous work, a voyeurism sim; though '
Shinjuku Wolf' lends itself to a more provocative premise: Amaterasu painting 'life' back into Shinjuku's red-light district Kabukicho.
While
Shinjuku Wolf will likely mimic elements of Sega's
Yakuza series (also set in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward), the game will attempt the ever-risky cel-shaded look.
Shinjuku Wolf is due springtime in Japan -- its success there will no doubt influence the possibility of Western localization.

It’s been a while since there was any exciting upcoming television news, with most projects shelved or on indefinite hiatus, so it’s exciting to see four new posters for Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a spin-off of the classic Terminator movies. The series, set to debut over two nights on January 13 and 14, stars Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, the character played by Linda Hamilton in the Terminator films.

If you've already got the
optical media wiper you need to rest easy, you'll probably be able to escape insomnia altogether after picking up WiebeTech's Drive eRazer. Granted, we've seen more
elaborate solutions to this problem before, but this little bugger is compact enough to lug around and enables users to erase sensitive data from 2.5- / 3.5-inch IDE, PATA and SATA drives without requiring any PC intervention. The company claims that it can write data at a "sustained rate of more than 35MB/s," which means that your 250GB HDD would be clean as a whistle in under two hours. Best of all, the Standard flavor checks in at just $99.95, and if you're still nervous about someone finding something in nothing, a Pro model -- which is "capable of more than one pass with random characters" -- is available for $50 more.

This is what you start to look like after listening to too much Amy Winehouse.
Ubisoft's acrobatic action-adventure breaks new ground left and right; here are the top five reasons you need to play it.
The Vexi Platform is used for creating and
deploying rich user interfaces for
Internet/intranet applications that look and feel
like native applications. Vexi uses a combination
of a subset of XML and Javascript to provide a
simple API for the development of interactive
visual components. Vexi provides an intuitive,
themable widget set, created using this API. Vexi
interfaces then communicate with server
applications through XML-RPC or SOAP.

Changes:
A new JS engine, massive cleanups, much improved stability, years of work on the widgets, and in general massive advancements in the codebase are just some of the highlights since the project last made a stable release.

When you make a list of the top septuagenarian iconic actors,
Sir Anthony Hopkins has to rank very near the top. His work in films like
Magic,
The Bounty,
Howard's End and, of course,
The Silence of the Lambs has shown his tremendous depth of talent and won him many awards, including a best actor Oscar for playing the suave, sophisticated sociopath Hannibal Lector.
Lately though, his work has seemed -- how should I put it -- uninspired. It's as if he feels he's proven all he needs to prove and doesn't care to work so hard anymore. Or maybe its just his
choice of films lately (like
Hannibal and the equally forgettable
Bad Company and
Alexander) that makes me think Hopkins has decided it's okay to rest on his impressive laurels?
Whatever may be happening with Hopkins at the moment, their may be hope for the man yet because he's returning to familiar ground with his latest choice of projects. According to
Production Weekly, Hopkins will re-team with frequent collaborator
James Ivory and star in
The City of Your Final Destination for the director. The film, based on the novel by Peter Cameron and adapted by another longtime Ivory collaborator
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, tells the story of an Iranian-born student who travels to Argentina to seek permission from a deceased author's family to write a biography of his life.
Once there, he confronts the family and by doing so forces them to take a hard look at their lives and face one of their greatest fears -- the future. Hopkins joins
Omar Metwally,
Charlotte Gainsbourg,
Hiro Sanada and the terrific
Laura Linney who are already cast in the film. This marks Hopkins' fourth time around with director Ivory. Their three previous collaborations on
The Remains of the Day, Surviving Picasso and the previously mentioned
Howard's End have resulted in Hopkins delivering some of the best performances of his career. Maybe this fourth go-around will inspire something in the actor and will help him return to the form that made him the icon he is today. As a fan of the man
and his work, I hope so.

An anonymous reader writes "With rapid-response surgery needed in Iraq and super-long-distance medicine a far-off necessity for a manned trip to Mars, NASA recently sent eight astronauts, roboticists and surgeons on its 'Vomit Comet,' pitting real doctors against new robotic ones. As if the prospect of a portable robo-OR deploying to Iraq by 2009 weren't enticing enough, one of the surgeons on board promised this in his flight blog: 'So far, surgery by hand is still the most efficient way to get the job done in a mobile, extreme environment. But robots are advancing rapidly... The solution that roboticists are working on now is to CAT scan a patient's entire body and beam the results back to Earth. Then a surgeon could program an operation and beam it back to upload into a robo-surgeon, which could carry out procedures like a player piano.'"

Ubisoft confirms that the action-adventure title for the Xbox 360 is set to arrive across Europe later this week.
1up is running a feature looking at some not-so-fun design decisions that have been made in games over the years. 'Innovations' like pits, spawn points, and long FMV sequences are just some of the choices they take to task here. From the article: "Rumor has it that videogames are not, in fact, movies. This might seem obvious to anyone who plays them, but the entertainment industry -- and even a few game designers -- have yet to comprehend this. Developers like Metal Gear's Hideo Kojima insist on cramming their games with cut-scenes that are often inscrutable, occasionally entertaining, and almost never interactive. Sometimes, you can't even press the Start button to skip them."
