The japanese web site for Koei's Fatal Inertia is now live. Fatal Intertia is scheduled for release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in the beginning of 2007.
Limbo and Xbox Indie title Inertia! have won the second annual Indie Game Challenge at DICE. Sponsored by The Guildhall at SMU, GameStop and the AIAS, the winners will each receive $100,000 and an EEDAR DesignMetrics title research assessment valued at $15,000.

Welcome to PALGN's PlayStation Network Review Round-Up. At the start of every month, this article will be dedicated to reviewing the titles that have been released during the past month on the PlayStation Network and give our verdict as to whether they are worth a download or not. We're a little bit behind, so this particular round-up will feature a couple of months worth of releases for your pleasure.
Dark Zero writes: "Fatal Inertia EX is the PlayStation 3 release of the year-old Xbox 360 game Fatal Inertia and is available now as a download from the PlayStation Store, for a fee of course.
Set in a futuristic world where mega-corporations control everything from government to entertainment, Fatal Inertia has become the most popular, and dangerous, pastime. The best drivers race in cars that hover over all types of ground, from molten lava to coastal inlets.
Sounds exciting doesn't it? Unfortunately, in the early stages of the game it isn't. I know that the earlier levels are supposed to be easy for beginners to grasp the controls, but in my eyes they were just uneventful, boring and didn't make me thrilled about playing on. Fortunately I did, otherwise this would be a very short review, and by the time you get halfway through the 'Professional League' it gets a bit trickier and somewhat more enjoyable. The tracks are short which means that the races are quick and if you get stuck in the crowd with the rest of the racers, it can get very chaotic, which is where the races get interesting. A side effect of the tracks being fairly short, sometimes the race is over before you know it and suddenly you're in second when you thought you could overtake the guy in front on the next corner to take home a win which gets a bit annoying.
The races are based on six different areas with all the course"
The 360 must be easy to develop for since they just announced it for the 360 and it will be ready to ship in a couple of months.
It could be any of those, I was just curious how they could pull it off so fast. I guess ports from the PS3 to the 360 are easier than from 360 to the PS3.
its much more plausible that this has been in development for some time and was held off in terms of announcement until now.
If this is a rushed port then....well I am thinking it will be more rubish than polish.
going to be a PS3 exclusive. I guess seeing all the 360's out there and how PS3 deliveries are too little, too late changed their minds. Now if they'll just give us the next Dynasty Warriors on the same day it comes out for PS3.
The 360 Sign makes the Site look way better wouldn't you say.
