Post-Gamescom week turned out to be the week of the ship date reveal, with launches for five high profile fall/holiday titles narrowed down by their publishers, including Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars PSP, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge, and Katamari Forever. Microsoft also fired back at Sony’s PS3 price cut and slim redesign with a $100 Xbox 360 price cut of its own, setting the stage for what should be a heated retail battle this holiday season. We also had four reviews go live, headlined by Nintendo’s excellent Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii.
