We've got a big week to close out February. All the trailer-ogling and screen-scrutinizing is finally gonna pay off. For starters, the wait is soon to be over for the highly-anticipated Killzone 2. As if that's not big enough, Star Ocean: The Last Hope will also be hitting stores. Need I say more? Err...yes I do! Catch all the details on this week's edition of On Shelves This Week.

It seems the murder of a taxi cab driver in Thailand has taken an even stranger turn, besides the whole "It's linked to Grand Theft Auto" business. It seems the Thai government has released a list of games that have been deemed as violent games to avoid.

The only thing about it? It seems to have been taken from a list made in Detroit. More after the jump.

After revealing 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand (Xbox 360, PS3) for its May issue, Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine's upcoming June issue is revealing the next-gen resurrection of Splatterhouse. Splatterhouse and its sequels are considered to be the arcade games which paved the way for survival-horror titles. Head over the full article to see what else is there for the June EGM issue.

The cover of Electronic Gaming Monthly's (EGM) May issue got our attention. Apparently, Vivendi's 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition has a sequel. Yes, you read that sentence right. 50 Cent II is currently in the works. Curious to know more? Then head on over to the full article.

Worried about the possibility of video game violence tainting the minds of children, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy came up with a "do not buy" list of violent video games.

Contrary to what most might expect, Rockstar Games' controversial Manhunt 2 (Wii, Sony PlayStation Portable) isn't the number one violent video game, but Grand Theft Auto is. Check out the Top Ten list in the full article.

Nilzxx sent us a message recently about a YouTube video he created for fans of the homebrew scene. In it, you'll actually get to see a real-time installation of Dark_Alex's 3.03 OE-A' custom firmware.

As he sent in his email, Nilzxx tells us,

I filmed how easy it is to upgrade to OE-A'. I think that some people think it's too much work to upgrade again and won't do it because of that. Well, this shows that you can easily upgrade in 1 minute. I also show how easy it is to overclock the CPU for UMD and ISO games.

The one minute thing is an exaggeration on his part, but we don't mind. He's got some nice reggae music in the background while the PSP updates itself. It's followed by 50 Cent's "Candy Shop", which is quite a leap from reggae, but still nice to listen to.

The only thing we can't really see right now is his starting firmware, as well as a handy-dandy voiceover from the cameraman, but it's a small thing. Right now, we're just happily entertained by it. Enjoy the video, and if you're itching to know more about upgrading, here's a link to one of the tutorials for it on our forums.

High Voltage Software and Vivendi Games have released 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition in Europe on October 27, 2006. The game was released in the US on September 12, and the Australian release followed soon after on September 30. The recommended selling price is US$ 39.99.

In the game, you follow 50 Cent through his adventures in a New York drug underworld story where he has to hunt down the hitmen who tried to get him. The game got an M (Mature 17+) rating from the ESRB, adding to controversy about claims that the game has educational values: 50 Cent said the game teaches kids about the violence of gang life in order to avoid it.

This game is a "reworking" of 50 Cent: Bulletproof for the Xbox and PS2. What's the main difference? The PSP version has a top-down perspective.

For fans of the music, 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition features music videos and new original music from 50 Cent and Sha Money XL.

Here is a 03:52-minute video for the PSP version of 50 Cent: Bulletproof that basically gives info on how the game works. What's new about this game is that it is now played on an isometric over head perspective view instead of the third-person over the shoulder perspective that gives player a wider perspective of the surroundings. The story remains the same though, revolving around 50 Cent's search of vengeance, spilling blood all over the hood in every conceivable way.

A controversy regarding this video game is that 50 Cent claims that it is a form of education, teaching young children how gang life really is despite having ESRB rating it "Mature", meaning, young children should not be allowed to play or even buy it.
