It’s been a relatively slow news week compared to the past couple of weeks, but the next seven days should see some interesting PC game related news coming just before and during PAX Prime . In the mean time, let’s check out what the last week gave us, shall we

Late last year, we heard a pretty troubling rumor about Square Enix’s first keybladed outing on the PSP, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep — that the game wouldn’t get a downloadable version on the PSN, thereby preventing any PSP Go owners from getting their hands on it.

Half of the development of the upcoming Medal of Honor reboot — multiplayer, specifically — is being handled by Battlefield: Bad Company 2 developer DICE.

There’s a bit early on in Mafia 2 where war veteran and budding crook Vito Scaletta tries to go straight. He takes some grunt work at the docks, just like his late old man, loading hefty wooden crates onto a truck bed. After a few minutes of player-controlled hauling, he abandons his short-lived foray into working stiffery permanently.

This week we had a number of game announcements, but in the next couple of weeks you can expect a boatload of news to come down the pike thanks to QuakeCon 2010 , Gamescom and more. While you’re bracing yourself, check out this past week of news: Exclusive features StarCraft II : Read our final verdict on Blizzard’s long awaited RTS game in the full review . Plus you can read the first two parts of our strategy guide for the game, beginning with the basics and then our look at the Terran faction .

I got to play the new Going Rogue expansion for City of Heroes at Comic-Con. I haven’t played the six-year-old MMO in a while, so I was out of the loop — since I’d last played it, Paragon Studios has updated the graphics, added a mission editor, and put out a host of other upgrades and features. But Going Rogue ’s big feature is something players have been asking about for a while: For the first time in the game, heroes and villains will be able to switch sides with an interesting set of morality quests

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies was just released on the DS — if you’ve yet to check out our review, then here’s the pertinent linkage . So, considering how much Square Enix has invested in the title, it’s no surprise the brunt of producer Horii’s chat (which you can see for yourself past the break) largely revolves around his hopes for the game.

For a story that has so much in common with a Godfather film, Mafia 2 still manages to stand out from its influences. The world crafted in 2K Czech’s Illusion Engine is truly impressive, with a snow-covered Empire Bay of the 1940s giving way to a sunny version ten years later. The progression of time gives the already realistic locale even more life, and the change in weather represents a turning point in the game’s story
