The last week before E3 means that news was slim… except for Friday, where everybody wanted to beat the next guy out the gate with their big E3 news. How ’bout that, eh?

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!

This week Adam talks about the acknowledgment from Japanese game makers that the Japanese game development process needs to change.

Another week in the books and boy there were a lot of announcements this week. Bethesda announced that they had contracted Obsidian Entertainment to develop a new Fallout game, and Microsoft announced 31 games… for Japan… at the same time.

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.

In this, the final daily Best of the Rest, Sony announces that the average log-in time inside PlayStation Home is nearly an hour, the PSP is getting ten more “Greatest Hits” titles and Capcom announces that they’re looking into other platforms for Lost Planet 2.
