Footage of the upcoming Mario Galaxy game, imaginitively titled Mario Galaxy 2 has been released. And as I'm feeling particularly generous today I'm going to share it with you all. The viseo shows everyone’s favourite Italian plumber bouncing around, sometimes upside down, jumping on the badguys, collecting coins and coloured jewels. And just like New Super Mario Brothers is in 2D, yes old school style. Now, I’m not sure if the whole game will be like this or if it’ll be a mixture of the old 2D and more modern 3D style that Mario has dabbled in since Mario 64, but if it is the mixture then I’d have to say it’ll be awesome, I want it, and now won’t be soon enough. If you want to check it out, it’s up on Youtube in Wii’s very own channel and you too can feel all nostalgic and tingly trousered like I did.Check it out here!

Funcom announced today that they're going to launch the expansion for Age of Conan on May 11th, available through retail and digital download.  It will include both the expansion and the original game.  If you buy a retail copy, you will also get a new social pet and a package of virtual items to welcome them to Hyboria.

If you pre-order you also get an in game pet, which if you're a current subscriber, you get immediately.  They're also introducing a digital Collector's Edition upgrade that gives immediate access to a flying fighting pet. The upgrade to the digital Collector’s Edition is now available through the customer account page.

And if you love game soundtracks like I do, the game soundtrack of the expansion content is simultaneously releasing, including a bonus DVD with full 5.1 surround recording. The soundtrack includes a key that will unlock a unique in-game bone flute. 

More bitchin screenshots after the break.

Well, if you're really chomping at the bit, you can go to your favorite retailer and pre-order the game.  Doing so gets you access to the beta, so you can learn how to beat the tar out of those Zerg that much faster.

Enjoy!

House fans, it’s time to rejoice as your favourite doctor is going to be put in a game for your playing pleasure. House M.D is coming to PC, Mac and DS sometime this month.

The game sees you playing as House and his team over 5 medical mysteries of the kind that you would normally see in the popular TV show.

The game, published by Legacy Interactive promises a  game that encompasses all of the excitement, drama and dialogue you would expect in the show. The characters are to be true to form, with the usual squabbling, back biting and of course that over bearing God complex of House that we all know and love.

The gameplay itself will involve gamers playing as the characters from the show, interviewing patients, performing lab tests and performing surgery via a plethora of puzzles and minigames described as mind bending by House M.D’s publisher.
