EU News Wrap, September 9 - What happened today

It's finally the weekend. Which means we're about to enter TGS time. HELL YEAH. Oh, here's some more Heap.

Alas, Tokyo Game Show is about to be upon us like the news swarm it normally is. Or at least, that was the case last year: TGS in recent years before last was sort of quieter than, say, GDC, E3 or gamescom.

We definitely don't expect that to be the case this year, though. Brenna's going for us, as we've said for about a billion times now, but that means Jess is going to be in the saddle for a bit too. And someone else too! Who? You'll have to wait until next week.

But before TGS begins, we had pre-TGS news. Here they are:

• Team ICO HD Collection hits Meta 90 – roundup
  For God's sake, buy the bloody thing!
• Resident Evil: Revelations gets TGS trailer
  Not looking too shabby there, is it?
• Respawn’s Zampella, Sony’s Hocking to headline 3D Gaming Summit in California
  3D and all that.
• Tales of Xillia ships 500,000 units in first week in Japan
  Big numbers, there.
• Report – Ex-Witcher producer Gop working with City Interactive for new game
  This could be potentially big. Watch for this.

  Now where's that silver colour?

  Big congrats to the NL massive.

  BOOM. Now where's Agent?
• Deus Ex: Human Revolution ships 2 million worldwide
  From what I've played so far, it's fantastic. Deserves the credit and plaudits.
• SOE’s Smedley: Planetside 2 to be free-to-play
  Non-shocker of the day.
• Crysis for consoles to be downloadable, priced at 1600 MSP/£15
  Colour me intrigued.

  Believe. BELIEVE.
• Team Ninja to announce new game at TGS next week

And that's it. ONWARDS TO TOKYO!
