Skyrim has always let you kill things and ride horses, but regrettably never let you kill things while riding a horse. This will cease to be an issue shortly as Skyrim developer, Bethesda Game Studios, has announced that the upcoming 1.6 free update will add mounted combat.

Panzer Dragoon director Yukio Futatsugi's spiritual successor to the series, Crimson Dragon, will see a Japanese XBLA release on June 13, 2012 for 1,200 Microsoft points ($15).
Crimson Dragon is a Kinect exclusive on-rails shooter in which you ride six types of dragons across gorgeous environments, blowing up a lot of monsters including less friendly dragons.
Unfortunately, a Western release is still to be announced, but it's very likely it will migrate here not long after hitting Japan. I've got to say that these are some of the best looking dragon designs I've seen since Dark Souls, and something like Dragon's Age could learn a thing or two from them. But don't just take it from me, if you want to lay eyes on these mythical beasts yourself check out this spiffy new trailer.

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu (translated via Andriasang) has revealed several new details about the upcoming Yakuza 5.
First and foremost, it's shedding its old creaky engine in favor of an all new one. It will feature new controls and switch between adventure and battle phases seamlessly, rather than rely on the archaic random battle system of yore.

The good news is we have one XCOM game coming out this year, with strategy title, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, recently set for release October 9th. The bad news is its shooter big brother, simply titled XCOM, has been delayed further into next year. A recent financial report from publisher Take-Two Interactive places its release date as “fiscal 2014,” which my fiscal to English translator is telling me is between April 1st, 2013 and March 31st, 2014.
At least we'll have plenty to keep us busy that first quarter of 2013, what with Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and DmC Devil May Cry all coming out during that post holiday stretch.
XCOM will be available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Getting delayed until 2013 is the new hip thing to do. First it was Metro: Last Light, then Bioshock Infinite, followed by Tomb Raider, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and Leisure Suit Larry. Now Capcom's reboot of Devil May Cry is following suite with a new release date set for Jan 15, 2013 in North America and Europe. As unfortunate as the delay is, the good news is that a PC version has been confirmed for later next year.

In an interview on the Official PlaySatation Blogcast, Just Add Water CEO Stewart Gilray confirmed that a PS Vita version of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is on the way with an expected release as early as late June.
Gilray explained a few new control tweaks due to the lack of buttons on the Vita. You'll switch from first to third-person by double-tapping the front screen, and you'll perform punches and spin attacks by tapping the rear touch pad. You can also zoom the sniper scope in to varying degrees by pinching the screen, rather than stick to the two levels of zoom in the console version.
