Welcome back! Last week we didn't have much to discuss at all, but this week's April Fools antics left us scratching our heads most of the week. Now we've got it all sorted out, so we'll lay down the real news for you right here.

We'll start off big with the chance to make movie director Uwe Boll stop making films. That's right, there's a possibility in site, according to an interview over at Fearnet that went live yesterday. A petition started and had approximately 18,000 signitures, but he scoffed that off in the interview, saying at 1 million was needed to make him quit. It may be my untrusting nature, but this isn't the first time he's made such a bold statement, the last time where he said he would box anyone and knew full well that most people didn't know he was an amatuer boxer back in the day. However, you can sign the petition here. Right now it's at 51k, just 5% of what we need. Let's get to work people.

A new video of Ninja Gaiden 2 popped up, and while it doesn't say much, we get a glimpse at Rachel's replacement and some backstory, involving Ryu with the CIA somehow. And, of course, she's exceptionally well endowed, which is an absolute, complete surprise.

Remember Gertsmanngate? Just to give you the heads up, the guy who sacked him, Josh Larson, just got sacked himself. We're still not sure if all's better, but hey, Gertsmann's supposedly doing well for himself.

The new Call of Duty 4 maps went live this week, knocking down the Xbox Live servers. It's all better now, but if you haven't gotten your hands on those new maps yet, take a look and pick them up.

Ubisoft announced, after gaining full control of Tom Clancy's name for their titles, H.A.W.X., a flight simulator/wargame. They'll also have Tom Clancy's My Little Pony 1&2 later this year.
