Take a look at the first teaser trailer of the upcoming Cops and Robbers Pack for Burnout Paradise.

The latest set of assets confirms that Roger Jr, Miguel, Zafina, Bob, Armor King and Raven will be entering in the next Iron Fist Tournament.

The game is not even out and Activision is already being sued for the obscure development of DJ Hero.

It’s always better to split up, you can do more damage that way.

Activision has launched the official Web site for the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen video game, revealing new screenshots of the game.

The dust has barely settled on the announcement of Six Days in Fallujah, but (once again) it finds a way into the news. During Konami’s Gamer’s Day in Frankfurt last week, unnamed representatives for the publisher told GamePro.de they were waiting to see how Atomic Games plans to portray the brutal battle for Fallujah before deciding if the game would see a European release. Representatives also told De Telegraaf that it was unclear what the level of violence would be in the “documentary-style” shooter.

Since announcing the title, developer Atomic Games have been publicly lambasted by peace groups, veterans and their families for developing a video game based on an ongoing (and already controversial) war. Recently, a group of US military Iraq War veterans announced support of the title in an interview with G4TV, saying the project could hopefully “bolster support” for troops.

With Konami’s European reps questioning a release, we wonder if Six Days in Fallujah will ever step out of the controversy long enough to hit store shelves anywhere.

With March NPD numbers set to roll out this week, GamerBytes has posted its own analysis of Xbox Live Arcade sales for the same period. A good idea, considering NPD doesn’t include digital sales in its figures. It’s a rather exhaustive piece, so here are a few nuggets.

• Watchmen: The End is Nigh started strong, but fell off the top ten in its third week of availability.
• Peggle has done quite well and is showing signs of staying power.
• Hasbro Family Game Night seems to be paying off for EA, with combined board game sales landing the game in third place in its third weeks of availability.
• The promotional “Deal of the Week” prices for Braid and Alien Hominid pushed both games back into the top ten.
• March saw both Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and A Kingdom for Keflings get knocked off the top ten. SSFIITHDR and Keflings had been in the top ten for 15 weeks and 19 weeks, respectively.
