A new track pack for Guitar Hero World Tour is available today, featuring three tracks from the Eagles of Death Metal, who are neither the Eagles nor a death metal band ( Discuss. ) The track pack features one single from each of the band’s three albums, so it’s kind of a sampler of the band’s career to date. Or it’s just a set of three songs that sound like they’d be fun to play on guitar. No need to overthink this stuff. The set is 440 XBL or $5.49 on PSN, or you can get individual tracks for 160 / $1.99 PSN / 200 Wii Points.

Famitsu may have spilled the beans with regards to the Valkyria Chronicles 2 announcement, but Sega has now officially opened the game’s website for business. There’s not much there right now except for the first page in the developer’s blog, though it contains a few screenshots from the game, one of which you can see above. It looks like the style of the original has been maintained, despite the lower-resolution PSP graphics. The developer diary — handily translated over at Andriasang — notes that the game has been bought to the PSP ” to expose the series to a greater variety of users, ” and is keen to state that ” this is a true sequel .” The game is set three years after the first game, with no sign of any of the characters from the original, though we’d be very surprised if one or two didn’t make at least cameo appearances in the sequel.

When Soul Calibur III released on the PS2, its character creation mode added unprecedented depth to the series — and subtracted most of our free time. It’s fitting, then, that in keeping with its concept of being totally awesome , the series’ first outing on PSP, Broken Destiny , would up the ante. Its create-a-character goes beyond anything we’ve seen in a fighter on any platform. New options allow for precision-tuning of every aspect of a created combatant’s appearance, including the size, position and angle of their various accessories. In one of the example screens released by Namco , a character’s glasses go from resting on the tip of his nose to propped up on his brow (and presumably could be placed anywhere in-between). That clown in the above image? It’s totally adjustable, in addition to being really effing freaky . Perhaps the coolest option is the ability to create character portrait thumbnails that’ll appear on the fighter selection screen
