Megaman returns to his roots in Mega Man 9
The next issue of Nintendo Power offers quite a revelation - the return of the old-school Mega Man. Apparently Capcom is taking a step back with the Wiiware release of Mega Man 9. It will be like the original Mega Man games, where Mega Man will have to go through levels for each boss before finally meeting the ultimate boss (presumably Dr. Wily).
This leak is thanks to user Syl at The Mega Man Network. Syl posted images from the issue of Nintendo Power that show all of the information on Mega Man 9. While the screen shots are small and a not perfect, they’re good enough to draw quite a bit of information from.
Possible leak of Byron Review may indicate changing game regulations in UK
Scottish newspaper Scotland on Sunday has claimed that the British government is set to introduce stringent video game regulations based on the Byron Review, a study on the subject by Dr. Tanya Bryon.

Tribes-like web-based game video leaked

Leaked alpha-level game videos hint at the return of Tribes-esque gameplay. The videos were serendipitously discovered by Shacknews.com, as they were available through unprotected website links on GarageGames’ InstantAction.com, a browser-based video game service launching in 2008.
Probably the links to these alpha-level game videos, only meant for internal use, remained unnoticed as InstantAction.com is still under development. An anonymous source, claimed to be close to GarageGames, told Shacknews.com that the videos depicted early work on the title and were meant for internal use.
The new game bearing a stark resemblance with Tribes shouldn’t surprise anyone, for GarageGames was founded by many Dynamix (Tribes’ developer) veterans after the developer was disbanded by its owner Sierra. The new InstantAction online games platform is going to rival Flash-based games, and will allow complete 3D game content to be rendered inside the browser unlike Flash.
