THQ is bringing retro flavor to Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network this November with “Voltron: King Zarkon Returns” video game.

Interspersed with footage from the original series, gamers will find themselves able to play either online in seamless 1- to 5-player co-op or offline in 1- or 2-player co-op. Players will select a Lion based on a number of strengths, resistances and elemental attacks, and will battle it out on Planet Arus against familiar Robeasts.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade (800 Microsoft Points) and PlayStation Network ($9.99).

If you hadn’t heard already, Japanese director Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, IZO) has been put on to head a live-action Phoenix Wright movie that’s currently under post-production in Japan and looking at a February 11th release date.

The trailer is a bit confusing to watch due to the Japanese being yelled during the trailer’s running, but the footage itself looks spot-on, as any Phoenix Wright gamer will no-doubtly attest to. No word on localization in here in the states any time in the future, but given the game’s popularity on these shores, as well as the directorial credits, it’s not hard to think that we may someday see the movie officially released to American audiences. (at least you can hope for subbing sooner rather than later, no doubt)

Tonight on Cartoon Network, the Thundercats return from their brief hiatus. As we saw in the species of Third Earth image, Berbils are back and they debut in this episode. I included the teaser/promo for the episode. Enjoy!

Playstation just shared a few minutes of the production of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. If you haven’t seen stuff like this before, its very interesting. The voice actors for Nate, Sully, and others are also filmed and motion captured to provide the actual movement for their in-game characters.

Burnout Crash is awesome. If you like Burnout Crash. Watch my full video review!

(Holy smokes, the old Burnout games are out of print and quite pricey for a new copy!)

The location for the 2012 GI Joe Collectors’ Convention will be New Orleans, Louisiana. The con will take place starting June 21st through June 24th. Hotel information will be coming soon, but at least you can start planning where you won’t be during those days. The June/July convention time slot is usually saved for Botcon, the official Transformers Collectors’ Convention, both run by Fun Publications. The significance of this should not be lost. The GI Joe movie sequel, GI Joe: Retaliation, premieres one week after the date of this convention.
