Tons of Duke Nukem Forever fallout, Atari pulls out of E3, fake religious groups make real demands and Mass Effect 2 is… well, it’s freakin’ Mass Effect 2. That’s all you need.

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.

There wasn’t a whole lot of Earth-shattering news this week. However, we did hear about The Beatles: Rock Band, the sales figures for both Chinatown Wars and Madworld, and Bethesda may be planning on making a Fallout TV show.

Will Wright leaves EA… to join EA. Yu Suzuki leaves SEGA… to join SEGA. Konami announces a game based on the Iraq War, Midway is sinking faster and faster, and rumor has it that we’ll be hearing about a new Xbox 360 bundle. Awesome? You bet your ass.

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.
