On 1up.com this week it's all about the Soul Calibur. They deliver exclusive screens and details on Namco's scedualed for a fall release title.

It will be updated daily until the end of this week, so if you want you dose of SCIII information, thats the place to hit.

First issue is good, explaining character-specfic stories, your created fighter and various mini-games found.

While your at it. Check out The Offical Site for Watcher-tan interviews and developer interview videos.

At least in Europe.

The Xbox 360 will ship in the UK with over 100 minutes of audio and video already on the system's hard drive, it has emerged, after Microsoft submitted the planned content to the British Board of Film Certification to be rated.

 

The content, which has been passed without cuts by the BBFC, consists of 22 separate files - the majority of which are between three and five minutes long, and appear to be music videos or movie clips, with titles such as "PUNK ROCK SUPERSTAR.WMA" and "1ST_TITANICTESTSEQUENCE_SINKING_8MBPS.WMV".
