While busying themselves with White Knight Chronicles back at TGS, Level 5 Games didn't turn away from the subject of one of their most well-loved classics, Dark Cloud. Those who've been waiting for a new follow-up will be happy to know that this is one dark cloud with a plenty of silver lining - if more people ask for it, then Level-5 will seriously consider bringing it back.

Would any of you European gamers out there know anything about this? Apparently, word has it that Level-5's tactical RPG for the PSP, Jeanne D'Arc, never made it to its UK release. Originally, it was supposed to head to UK, but quietly, it never went that way.

Imagine having a ghost following you, or even possessing you, on a day to day basis. Yeah, we don't want to either. But good thing we won't have to cos Level-5's released the very first screens for their new PSP horror RPG title, Ushiro. See them staring back at you after the jump.

Just a few days ago, Level-5 announced two new games for the PSP, one of which was Cardboard Senki (aka Danboru/Dambol Senki). Initial details about the game are scarce, but now at least we got some screens and artwork to see how this new RPG will play out. Also, we learn more of the story.

A couple of new Level-5 games for the Sony PlayStation Portable have been announced in the latest issue of Japanese gaming mag Famitsu. These games will be Level-5's second and third titles for the PSP, the first being 2006's Jeanne d'Arc. More after the jump.

Level-5 may be especially busy with their White Knight Story, but that doesn't mean that's the only thing they're busying themselves with nowadays. For one, they'll be holding a press conference event in Tokyo next week, and according to them, there's a lot to be revealed at this event.

"Ready for GAME time!" Tokyo Game Show 2008's theme is definitely one that can get your heart pumping. I know something else that might get your heart pumping: the full list of exhibitors to be present in this year's gaming event at Tokyo. Knowing the exhibitors at TGS 2008 might give a hint as to what games we can probably expect on the show floor (and knowing what games can, in turn, give us a hint as to what types of boothbabe cosplays we might expect to see too). Check out the huge list in the full article!

Looking for a new game to play but don't have much cash? Well, Level-5's tactical role playing game, Jeanne D'Arc for the PlayStation Portable is now on sale at Amazon. To find out more head on over to the full article.

Do Sony PSP owners stand to get a new mystery title for next year? This might be the case, as there's an ongoing rumor indicating that Professor Layton will be making his way to the PSP. This could prove to be an interesting proposition, given the popularity the title enjoyed for its DS release in Japan. More details regarding this rumor are available in the full article.

We're hoping you guys saved up enough money for this week's releases. There's quite a lot of eye-catchers hitting the shelves and every single major platform out there - PS3, 360, Wii, PC, PSP, and DS - has at least one good title to offer.

Those who were able to try out the demo of BioShock can finally dive into the full game. Don't forget to take your daily dose of plasmids when you're there. Meanwhile, GRAW 2 will roll out for the PS3 and PSP as well. Tactical shooting has never been this orgasmic.

Handheld gamers get a heavy dose of RPG treatment with the release of Jeanne d'Arc and Dragoneer's Aria for the PSP. Whether you want to go for turn-based or SRPG, we'd still suggest you get both. DS owners get some bite-sized fun with more Brain Age 2 training and Turn It Around - another "mini-game collection" title that'll surely get heads spinning.

Let's get ready for the plunge! On Shelves This Week include...

BioShock. Take a dive into the not-so-dead underwater city of Rapture as you FPS your way through the horror of Big Daddies and Little Sisters. Hone your skill on controlling the destructive powers of the plasmids to fight for your survival.

Jeanne d'Arc. Another RPG heading to Sony's handheld platform, but this time in the form of a tactical RPG. The game is a historical-fiction retelling of the times of Joan of Arc.
