Just in time for Pre-E3 hype, Capcom questions their Japanese presence at E3 while Square Enix and Koei both make clear that their E3 presence will be limited. Why? Swine flu. That’s why… sissies… other than that, the big news was that 3D Realms says they’re not closed.

Batman: Arkham Asylum gets delayed until the end of the Summer, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on XBLA and PSN is officially official, Valve sues Activision and Michael Pachter continues to lose his mind. All this plus Mr. T and Will Wright fighting Nazis!

Behold! The first “Best of the Week”, where we recap all of the week’s big news stories. Why? For your convenience, of course. Trailers, Interviews, Announcements and just plain news reports — all here.

And color coded, too.

Well, here it is: The final Best of the Rest you will ever see. Except for the ones that go up every Friday. Anyways, GDC ends with news from Blizzard, Capcom and Bungie. Also, who wants to call Rock Band “Metal Lords”? Eww.

JW is still too sick to spend hours feeding you all the gaming goodies you’re all hopelessly addicted to. However, he did finish today’s Best of the Rest — so you at least have that. Right?

Luanne Hill once said “I am a proud, ignorant woman”… just thought you outta know. Anyways, today was a fairly beefy day for news, with announcements about PixelJunk Monsters, Wet and Tomb Raider getting a reboot.
