DS | Big in Japan Mar. 8-14: Pokemon Ranger returns

Nintendo’s creature-battler reprises its finish atop Media Create’s weekly sales chart, as trio of new PSP releases lift Sony’s handheld. Nintendo’s Pokemon Ranger spin-off titles may not enjoy the same level of popularity as the full-fledged gotta-catch-’em-up games, but, well, they’re still Pokemon.

PlayStation 3 | Lost Planet 2 Updated Hands-On

We storm the beaches of the NEVEC facility in this map from the single-player mode. If there’s one thing Capcom wants to make clear about Lost Planet 2, it’s this: There’s much more variety in the levels than there was in the original Lost Planet. We’ve seen everything from lush jungles to arid desert environments in Lost Planet 2, and our look at the latest demo revealed a new area–stormy seaside cliffs where ex-NEVEC marines make landfall to begin the assault on their former employer and stop the company from returning the planet of EDN III to its formerly frosty state

PlayStation 3 | Demon’s Souls sells roughly a quarter million – Report

Atlus-published From Software role-playing game hits sales milestone in the US after Sony passed on it for concerns over difficulty, unforgiving design decisions. Critical acclaim and commercial success are not always doled out in proportionate amounts. While Activision’s hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sold more than 6 million copies in the US in its first month on sale, GameSpot’s 2009 Game of the Year, Demon’s Souls , has sold a fraction of that total since its October 2009 debut
