3 Japanese tracks are to be included, Suzuka Circuit, known to be one of the most "dangerous motorsport race tracks in Japan", the Tsukuba Circuit and the Twin Ring Motegi, home of the Indy Japan 300.

Be sure to check out the review of Red Faction: Guerrilla by Gamebrit's very own Chris Brandrick.

After the somewhat moderate sucess of Sega's adult titles on Wii, namely House Of the Dead: Overkill and Madworld, the big name developer are considering developing more mature names for the console.

Granted both titles didn't set the world alight in terms of sales but Gary Dunn, Sega Marketing Director of Europe, has claimed that "House of the Dead: Overkill was a profitable title" and that "whilst MadWorld commercially didn't sell what we were expecting I wouldn't say it's game over for mature Wii titles from Sega.". Good on them we say.

F.E.A.R, Condemned, No One Lives Forever, ring a bell? They're all Monolith Production titles. Well the developers are looking to add to the list of releases as they have posted a job listing looking for a software engineer for a "triple-A next-generation console title,".

A few more details on the listing where as follows "Work closely with engineers, designers, and artists on the creation of game systems for a cutting-edge first-person action game on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC." Not sure what it'll will be but with F.E.A.R 2 having been released in February, a third instalment we doubt it'll be.

A couple of weeks ago we reported some news, in which a report for politician Lord Stephen Carter suggested tax breaks for British developers, in a move to strengthen the British gaming industry.Now the request has taken the next step.

The UK's Department of Media, Culture and Sport have contacted the TIGA and the ELSPA. In the correspondence the department has requested evidence which supports whether a tax break is needed or not and how it would benefit the country. Here's some evidence for you - LittleBigPlanet, Fable 2, etc.

Speaking of Fable, the lead designer of Fable 2 got married the other day and was listed in the New York Times as being 'the lead designer of Fable 3'. Genuine mistake? maybe, maybe not.

It's barely been out but already Lennart Sas, Overlord 2's creative director, has confirmed that downloadable content for it is in development.

Sas said that it'll be "it'll be announced soon." But when pressed for more details he was reluctant to give any more information.

Tales Of Monkey Island, which is making a long awaited return to the Xbox Live Marketplace soon, may not be exclusive to the console.

Craig Derek, produce of the special edition, spoke to the Guardian (yes, the newspaper) about whether the the game would be released on another console. "Well, we never said we wouldn't be on Wiiware or PSN now did we?" Before going on to say "We may have another platform announcement to make very, very soon,". Quite which we don't know.

He also echoed the requests for a revamped version on Monkey Island 2, saying that the Monkey Island Special Edition is an "experiment to see what interest there is for these types of games and if people are interested in playing them on a console." i.e. will it sell.

Check out this beauty? Nice isn't it? Well the latest car in Burnout Paradise can be yours. All you have to do is complete all of the games 500 online challenges, form the original and DLC packs. Simple. And you will look in no way sad driving it around the city.

Apologies for the cheesey headline but that comes directly from Media Molecule's website so aim the groans their way.

As you may have noticed the USA celebrate the 4th of July each year as the day that Will Smith fought aliens with the help of Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman. Obviously that's not true, however what they do celebrate is the day they declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain back in 1776. It seems the guys over at Media Molecule have decided to honour this annual event with a free costume depicting the Statue of Liberty. So head on over to the PSN this Thursday and grab yourself a bit of independence.

Hit the jump for a lovely picture of what to expect. Enjoy!
