The latest Space Marine footage comes from a video interview with actor Mark Strong, who voices hero Captain Titus and, we have to say, brings a tonne of class with him. Strong, who's usually associated with villainous roles in the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass and Green Lantern, talks about the Space Marine story, his heroic character and what he's bringing to the role.Maybe it's the well turned out British accent as opposed to the usual American beefcake approach, but both Strong's interview and the snippets of in-game dialogue feel really refreshing.

Walmart flyer points to US Xbox 360 price
Walmart is reportedly planning to slash $50 off the price of the Xbox 360 4GB Kinect hardware bundle from this Sunday, August 28. That's according to a flyer obtained by Joystiq, which reveals that one of the world's largest retailers is planning a "rollback" on the price, from $299 to $249.This doesn't necessarily mean an official Xbox 360 price reduction is inbound. It could merely be a special promotion, but it wouldn't be the first time a Walmart circular has outed news of a price cut either.Xbox 360 is the top-selling console in the US year-to-date, but the introduction of a global PS3 price cut last week is likely to force Microsoft to react sooner or later.

EA has suggested that BioWare MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic is breaking internal pre-order records - as 15 new in-game screens appear online. Speaking to investors last night, EA Games boss Frank Gibeau said: "In general, the pre-order numbers are ahead of our expectations on Star Wars. It's ahead of the curve that we plotted for what we need to do in terms of reaching our goals. "It's about... it's the largest number we've done at EA in comparison to other titles. The next closest title is Battlefield 3, and it was up significantly from there. "In terms of the beta test, we have thousands of people that are in current beta test going on right now, and we're learning a lot of great things and getting a lot of great telemetry that's improving the game on every new release." Check out the new shots below. Star Wars: The Old Republic is due for release exclusively on PC later this year.

"In the ancient world there was a myth about a king, a treasure, and a hellish labyrinth. Now the doors to that hell are open once again."Nathan Drake, treasure hunter and risk taker, has been called to New York City by the man who taught him everything about the "antiquities acquisition business." Victor Sullivan needs Drake's help. Sully's old friend, a world-famous archaeologist, has just been found murdered in Manhattan. Dodging assassins, Drake, Sully, and the dead man's daughter, Jada Hzujak, race from New York to underground excavations in Egypt and Greece."Their goal: to unravel an ancient myth of alchemy, look for three long-lost labyrinths, and find the astonishing discovery that got Jada's father killed. It appears that a fourth labyrinth was built in another land and another culture-and within it lies a key to unmatched wealth and power. An army of terrifying lost warriors guards this underground maze. So does a monster. And what lies beyond-if Drake can live long enough to reach it-is both a treasure and a poison, a paradise and a hell."Source: CVG

Valve's Newell attacks 'aggressive DRM'
Valve boss Gabe Newell has once again hit out at "aggressive" DRM measure which require players to remain connected to the internet in order to play.Newell last year said that the practice resulted in games that are "worth less" - to a cheering crowd at GDC.This week, in an interview with Kotaku, he went a step further. "We're a broken record on this," said the exec. "This belief that you increase your monetisation by making your game worth less through aggressive digital rights management is totally backwards." Newell added that piracy was "not an issue" for Valve as it is "a service issue, not a technology issue".He cited Russia as an example, which is now Steam's largest European market outside the UK and Germany. Valve had invested in making sure games were properly localised for the region in order to combat piracy."When we entered Russia everyone said, 'You can't make money in there. Everyone pirates,'" he said, going on to explain that, at the time, pirates were localising games better than official publishers."When people decide where to buy their games they look and they say, 'Jesus, the pirates provide a better service for us,'" he commented."The best way to fight piracy is to create a service that people need. I think (publishers with strict DRM) will sell less of their products and create more problems."Customers want to know everything is going to be there for them no matter what: Their saved games and configurations will be there. They don't want any uncertainty." CVG Staff

The Witcher 2 approaches 1m sales
CD Projekt's The Witcher 2 has almost sold a million copies since its release on May 17 this year. The Warsaw Business Journal reports (via Gamasutra) that the title moved 940,000 copies in the first half of 2011.That's good going considering the game has so far only released on PC. An Xbox 360 version is in the pipeline but was recently delayed from this year into Q1 2012. The developer said the legal tangle between Namco and THQ over publishing rights to the game played a part in the decision to push the launch to 2012.On the plus side, studio head Adam Kicinski said: "The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection, so that the game offers an ideally balanced, fantastic experience to gamers."

Street Fighter 3 Online Edition patch re
Capcom has released the first of a couple of patches that were in the pipeline for Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition. This one adds YouTube video upload support to the Xbox 360 version of the game. As SF3 producer Derek Neal explains: "We're still experiencing some occasional hiccoughs with the XLSP server, so the service might go down intermittently. But it's up right now, and you can see the videos people have been uploading here."He goes on to confirm there's another patch on the way that will tackle other issues with the game. "We have a fix for both the '100 billion % disconnect rate' issue, and the 'it takes a long time to get in a ranked match' issue. These fixes, as well as a few more (an issue with Hugo's trial #2, a stun exploit in trials, etc.), will be making it into our next patch. We will also be raising the online level cap in that patch."Neal says to expect a date for that patch "early next week ... after we submit to Sony and Microsoft".He adds: "Further downstream, we're looking at all of your feedback for potential future updates (beyond the fixes in this post). So, please bear with us as we continue working to make this game even more awesome." Mike Jackson
