Titus are currently working on two N64 titles, based on the popular Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules TV shows. Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is touted as a 3D adventure game with multiple combat systems and four individual characters to control. Xena: Warrior Princess – The Talisman of Fate is a fighting game, which is currently looking a lot like Pit Fighter with even worse graphics. Maybe both games will shape up quite nicely – they’re both a long way off – although they’ll both sell by the shed-load no matter what.

Is that a Gryphon in your pocket? No? There will be soon if Atlus have anything to do with it. Revelations: The Demon Slayer for Game Boy Color is an interesting new RPG in the same vein as Pokemon. The inhabitants of a remote planet use a mystical power called 'Gaia' to maintain peace throughout the land. A few troublemakers are using the power for evil purposes, threatening the planet’s future tranquillity, and it’s your job to sort it out. In order to succeed you'll need to coerce some of the 100-plus monsters into joining your party. This is achieved by talking to them and answering questions. But you'll have to be careful – annoy the monster and it'll go for you!

Electronic Arts and BAM Magazine have teamed up to search for hot new bands to create the soundtrack for the forthcoming Road Rash Unchained. Unsigned bands, as well as those from independent labels, are encouraged to submit songs they feel would best represent the Road Rash experience. Previous Road Rash games featured music from Soundgarden, Sugar Ray and The Tea Party. For more information on submitting your own masterpiece, check out the Road Rash website.

Japanese gamers are in for a bit of a chuckle when Tondemo Crisis hits the PlayStation on June 24. Taking control of a crazy family, you’ll need to participate in a number of mini-games, each one a parody of a classic title. We can't wait to have a go at Death Trap Elevator, Housewife's Snowboarding and Wheelchair de GO!

In a bizarre marketing move, Bandai have decided to discontinue production of the two most popular (and best) WonderSwan colours – silver and metallic blue. They have however unveiled 10 new colours in Japan – green, yellow, soda blue, cherry pink, mint, jelly orange, purple, milky grey, honeydew and jelly lemon – all in semi-transparent plastic. Unfortunately, only three of these will go into mass production, to be decided by a vote on the WonderSwan website. The company hope to shift more than a million units by the end of July.
