Brother/sister (no, not really) duo The White Stripes will be making their Rock Band debut next week via a track pack featuring three of their songs. For the handheld rhythm gamers, No Doubt and Dropkick Murphys are also on the way to Rock Band Unplugged's in-game music store.

Sega's introduced some more new characters for Valkyria Chronicles 2, via their official website for the game. Not only that, they've also debuted two new videos that will give you a closer view at what lies in what for you in the game.

This week's PlayStation Store Update is now live. The controversial Rock Band Nirvana track pack is here, so all you rockers out there are sure to enjoy the animated Kurt Cobain rockin' it out alive and well in this game. It's a double treat too as Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl's own band, Foo Fighters, also shares some love in this week's release. Other big releases include Dissidia Final Fantasy for the PSP, Trine's PS3 demo and Ghostbusters: The Video Game on the PSP. Full list awaits after the jump.

The powers and resources of the NPD, Enterbrain, and GfK Chart-Track have all come together and the results are in - Dragon Quest IX dominated the global sales charts spanning over three months ending September of this year. What's more amazing is that the DS-exclusive title has only been released in Japan. See how the others fared.

It's been a while since we last heard about Namco Bandai's God Eater. If you know Japanese (or have enough trust in your ability to navigate a menu without understanding a thing about it), you'll get to do more than hear (or read) about it soon. You can get to play the demo.

It's cliché, but you should never judge a book by its cover. But what if the exterior is all you have right now and Nina is doing a sexy pose? I'm talking about the sales art for an upcoming Tekken movie spotted by Comingsoon.net, and it shows off the characters that will be fighting for the title of "King of Iron Fist."

Another game is getting ported to the PSP. Arc System works apparently intends to bring BlazBlue on your Sony handheld, this we found out coming from Famitsu's newest issue.

It looks like Shiren the Wanderer will be wandering off from the Wii straight to your PSPs. If Japanese retailer Rakuten's catalog is correct, the PSP port of the game will be coming on January 28, 2010.

Tried your hand at the demo that came out this past weekend on the PSN for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker? Wished that it was in English? Don't worry, you're getting exactly that. Yes, there will be an English demo, thank goodness.

We've got a bunch of mystery games for you this Halloween week, as well as another one from the blood-curdling line of Ubisoft's Imagine titles, this time with Imagine Babyz Fashion. Headlining the line-up though would be Jak & Dexter for the PSP, the multi-platformer Lego Rock Band, and the new Need for Speed offering for handhelds, NFS: Nitro. Oh, and Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift is also here. Hopefully there'll be no Kanye to interrupt your game this time. Check out the full list in the full article.
