We might be slowing down as the week rolls on, but the headlines just keep on coming.

Yakuza and Binary Domain creator Toshihiro Nagoshi thinks portables, not home consoles, will dominate the next generation, while retailer GAME's problems continue as it confirms plans to shut 35 stores and its Gameplay.co.uk website, and admits that ongoing stock issues mean it won't be selling The Last Story when it's released tomorrow.

Elsewhere, Sega got us excited by teasing a high definition re-release of Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio, World of Warcraft developer Blizzard is reportedly working on a free-to-play game, and we rounded up all the Asura's Wrath reviews and Binary Domain verdicts.
