Eurogamer recently got the scoop on the new Epic Mickey Wii game from Warren Spector. It looks like the game has sort of a Toy Story feel to it, with a darker edge.  The story focuses on Mickey's struggle against some 'forgotten' Disney stars that have been abandoned over time, and as a result have become bitter after being cast into a dark void (honestly though, who wouldn't become bitter?).

Hooray, more dr... more.

Here it is in all its fantastic glory, the GamesCom reveal trailer for James Cameron's Avatar, a multi-platform game based on the movie directed by the man himself. It's looking pretty sweet, and includes some gameplay scenes.... more.

This is an interesting bit of news. According to formerly television-centric ratings maker Nielson, and their new video game ratings system, the Xbox 360 has become the first console to beat the PS2 in terms overall minutes played per month.
