Besides the HD collection of Silent Hill, Konami announced that they have even more plants for the Silent Hill franchise. They revealed that they are working on a new title called Silent Hill: Book of Memories. The game is going to be set for release on Sony’s upcoming NGP (or maybe PS Vita if rumors are true). The title will be exclusive to Sony’s handheld title.

Unfortunately not much information was given about the game. No plot details have been given and it was said to be released “later on down the road” from when the Silent Hill Collection would be released. Meaning that at the moment, all fans can do is be assured that they are working on another Silent Hill title after Silent Hill: Downpour.

The Darkness was never a great friend to Jackie Estacado in the first Darkness title and it seems the creature definitely won’t help him this time around either. Also it seems that somebody beleives Jackie isn’t the right man for the Darkness to be possessing anyways. All of this was revealed today after 2K games released a gameplay trailer of the title which shows what the Darkness does best, kill people and eat their hearts.

Digital Extremes and 2K Games will be showing off more of the title when E3 kicks off next week. We can consider this little trailer an appetizer of things to come. A bloody, dark, and a bit frightening appetizer. Catch the trailer below.

Warhammer 40K: Kill Team has been officially confirmed by THQ today. They have announced that Warhammer 40K: Kill Team will be available sometime in July and will be a tie-in to the full retail game; Warhammer 40K: Space Marine.

The game will be a twin stick shooter and will feature two-player co-op. If you are able to beat the game you will also unlock the “Power Sword” for Space Marine when that releases on September 6th.

No more pretenses and guessing needed, The Witcher 2 will be available on the Xbox 360 by the end of 2011. CD Projekt Red held their Summer Days presentation in Los Angeles today and they announced that they will be bringing their latest hit title to consoles by the end of 2011. This confirms many people’s beliefs that there would be an announcement of some sort for a 360 version of the title, especially after the ESRB rated the game for console release.

CD Projekt Red also went on to say that the Xbox 360 version will have all of the PC updates that will be available when the game releases and a teaser video has been released which you can see below. They have yet to show off any gameplay however, but their representative says that The Witcher 2 on the Xbox 360 will be more of an adaptation on par with the PC version than a port. Interesting stuff that we’ll know more about at E3 when they reveal gameplay for the first time.

Nintendo announced today on their Japanese website that they will be rolling out a large firmware update next week which will launch the eShop on the hand held as well as activate the web browser. This update was originally meant to come out in May but had been pushed back until next week. The web browser will not support Flash or PDF files however, meaning that some websites will be difficult to view on the handheld.

Andriasang has detailed the announcement saying that players can still download and save .JPG images from the web browser onto their SD cards as well as upload pictures from the 3DS’ camera. Parents can also set online restrictions with the parental control option in case you don’t want your kiddies to look at anything un-childlike on their Nintendo 3DS.
