Bayonetta demo available on October 8 (for Japan)
The PS3 version of Bayonetta has been getting the short end of the stick, plagued with choppier framerates and now a gimped demo compared to the Xbox 360. It’s painfully clear that the Xbox 360 is the platform of choice for sexy librarian witches. Besides, it’s easier to hold the Xbox 360 cont...

Rock Band Network coming, somewhat, to PS3, not to Wii at all
Now Wii users, you get nothing. Rock Band Network and the Rock Band Store will, unfortunately, not be coming your way. While Harmonix would love to extend the service your way, the lack of patching Wii games means it would just be too damned hard. I feel for you folks as well.

Last.fm free to Gold, “trial” for Silver members
When we told you about Microsoft bringing Last.fm to the Xbox 360, we made a promise to keep an ear out and, even if we do nothing else, we keep our promises. Not only have our ears been out, so have our fingers, eyes, noses, and various other body parts (do not ask) and today [...]
