Those buxom beauties are back, along with Ryu from Ninja Gaiden and some other guys whose names you don't remember! Dead or Alive has been the subject of some controversy. Is it ok to build a game around the idea of looking at pretty ladies? As any Dead or Alive fan will tell you though, the gameplay goes far deeper than that, and it boasts a roster of characters to equal nearly any other fighting game franchise.

Popular title Urban Chaos has been re-released on Steam. If you owned a PlayStation, PC or Dreamcast at the turn of the millennium, you'll probably at least remember its striking lead character and its dark "urban jungle" setting.

Amazon have launched a pre-order page for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX, announced earlier this morning. The collection, which contains Kingdom Hearts 2, Birth By Sleep and the cutscenes from ReCoded, will be out some time in 2014.

FuturLab announced last week that they'd be revealing a new game. If you loved the addictive PlayStation Mobile title Surge, you'll be desperate to get your hands on Surge Deluxe, a new remake for PlayStation Vita. The updated game included PlayStation trophies and leaderboards, as well as several fixes to scoring and to the way you'll be chaining blocks for big points.

A fan has done what Square Enix didn't - taken the English lines from Kingdom Hearts 2, Birth By Sleep and Re:Coded and placed them into the trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMIX. It gives a much better glimpse of what we should be expecting when the second HD collection launches next year.

Sony have announced that they're bringing God of War: Ascension to the PlayStation Network this month. Although prices have yet to be announced, you can probably expect them to be roughly in-line with whatever your local brick and mortar stores are charging. That'll probably be between £25-30, if you're in the UK.

Girl Fight is almost exactly what it sounds like - a game in which a bunch of girls beat each other up. Oh, and the girls don't wear very much. On some levels it manages to be much more than this, on others it falls well short. What you're left with is an interesting idea, a degree of eye candy and occasional disappointment.

The team behind Velocity 2X, Futurlab, will be announcing another project today. The announcement will happen at the PlayStation Blog at 4pm BST and will no doubt continue their tradition of creating addictive, modern takes on classic genres. Aside from the fact that the announcement is happening - shared by James Marsden on Twitter - no other information about the new project has been announced.

The criminally underrated Enslaved: Odyssey to the West will be getting a re-release on PlayStation 3, and will be available to purchase for the first time on PC, Namco Bandai have today confirmed. There were rumours before - it showed up on the Australian classification board - but it's now official.

Kingdom Hearts 3 had a brief showing earlier this year, but it was hardly enough to make up for the long wait since Kingdom Hearts 2's release in 2004. Don't worry though, we'll have another short glimpse of the game next week, Tetsuya Nomura has revealed.
