The final of the three new games announced by SEGA today is Infinite Line.The game is an ambitious RPG being produced by PlatinumGames exclusively for the Nintendo DS. Talking about the game SEGA say “Infinite Line (working title), a role playing game exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ portable handheld system, takes place in outer space and gives players the ability to control, build, outfit and customise more than 150 spaceships. Infinite Line stretches the DS hardware to the limit, offering over 200 characters and the ability to control multiple spaceships at any one time. Releasing in 2009 and currently being produced by Atsushi Inaba and directed by Hifumi Kouno (from developer Nude Maker), Infinite Line is one of the most complex RPG titles developed for the DS to date.”

No screenshots or video have been released, only some concept which can be viewed below:

Microsoft have released four new screenshots taken from Gears Of war 2 as part of it’s US Gamer’s Day. They look to be taken from the same scene recently shown off in the gameplay video although one does has a nice red glow coming from an explosion, making a change from the usual Grey seen in 90% of Gears of War videos and images.

Microsoft are expected to announce Banjo Kazooie 3 from Rare at a “gamers day” event in the US tomorrow. In the mean time numerous screenshots of the game have leaked onto the net in advance of the announcement. Take a look below:

Kotaku is reporting  that a Webshots user named “pallamallawa” has uploaded six images of what look to be the map insert for the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV. Images include the city itself, complete with descriptions of various locales, the Liberty City subway map, and the controller map for the PS3. The map looks failry legitimate and hints that the game maybe split into 3 or 4 unlock-able areas judging by the different land areas the map is split into. As with yesterdays leaked multiplayer screenshots, the images have disappeared from their original source.

Rollup! Rollup! it’s time for the Play.com live image gallery. Take a look at the goings on over at the stage and the show floor.

Frosty was set the challenge of having his photo taken with every boothbabe on the show floor. This had to include Gemma Atkinson and Play.com staff handing out goodie bags and the like. I counted 11 groups of babes that were entered into the competition after a scan of the show floor. Those that would clearly have been impossible to get were not counted such as bands who didn’t come out onto the show floor.

Heres the results:
