EB Games Australia has joined a growing list of retailers refusing to carry the PSP GO, in a move most will recall as having its roots with Dutch retailer, Nedgame.
Both retailers have cited the higher price, lack of trade-in on games, and lack of games on the shelf amongst a number of reasons for their decision.

Following a press release, Sony has confirmed that the motion controller is still on track for a Spring 2010 release, but what was more intriguing was an early list of working and existing titles that will support the new technology.

Microsoft, still trying to make their presence felt in Japan, have unveiled new Crackdown 2 screenshots at this years Tokyo Game Show. Its also good to see that those devilish orbs are back, and this time (to save everyones sanity), appear to be at least a little easier to find.

Following in the footsteps – or rather tyre marks – of the ultra successful Mario Kart, it appears Sega wants a slice of the mascot-based carting pie. And, dare I say it; their latest hedgehog-filled slice of gaming pie is actually looking rather delicious – as Gamer Limit brings you the latest screens from the upcoming Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing.
