Brütal Legend isn't going to MTV Games
While Double Fine assures fans that Brütal Legend is "fine" despite getting the boot from Activision, we have to wonder just who will publish the thing. We hope a publisher is revealed soon, lest Brütal Legend's title becomes an ironically accurate description of the game's development.

Video: A sheepy Flock chain reaction
After reading yesterday's news regarding Flock developer Proper Games and what they think about the Xbox Live Arcade's current state, we've been on the look out for new sheepy Flock media. And wouldn't you know, some newish Flock gameplay was recently(ish) released. How odd! Watch the embedded video for XBLA game Flock and be in awe of its chain reaction-like physics, pretty water and fluffy fluffed sheep launching game mechanics. Knock those sheep around!
A look at how Mercenaries 2 does co-op
IGN has a pretty decent writeup detailing their hands on time with two player co-op in the explosive Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. Online co-op is presented pretty standardly, allowing two players to connect seamlessly where one player enters the others' world a la Crackdown. Meaning that any progress made during co-op only counts towards the hosts' game, but any weapons or money earned by the other player can be taken back to their game. What's nice to see too is the fact that the game doesn't "scale" the action based on co-op, which means that having a co-op buddy by your side makes dishing out the destruction a whole lot easier. Make the jump to get Mercs 2 learnified.
Fallout 3 edited, unbanned in Australia
It was revealed last month that Bethesda's Fallout 3 was refused classification by Australia's Classification Board, which effectively amounted to a ban on the game. Good news Aussie gamers, Fallout 3 has been reclassified as MA 15+, which means it's not banned after all! There's a catch though, as the game had to be edited in order to be resubmitted to the Classification Board. According to the ratings body, "the reward and incentive" for in-game drug use -- Fallout 3 players can use "chems" to enhance certain stats (and lower others) -- has been heavily reduced. So, what? You get +3 now instead of +10?
We don't know the answer, but the upshot is that Fallout 3 will be available Down Under, and that's good news for everyone.

Microsoft too good for a Leipzig press conference
If you're looking forward to a BIG Xbox 360 announcement out of Microsoft during the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany later this month, we advise not getting your hopes up. Videogaming247 is reporting that Microsoft will not be holding any press conferences during Leipzig, but will be attending with floor space including behind closed door meetings and demos. So, to us, it's pretty easy math. No press conference + no hype = no huge Leipzig Xbox 360 announcements. Sad stuff.[Via Eurogamer]
