Speaking exclusively with IGN , The Conduit developer High Voltage Studios has revealed its upcoming game The Grinder to be heading to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, as well as the Nintendo Wii. Previously announced as another of HVS’ exclusive games for the Wii aimed at teh hardcorez , the game will now end up on every console, which “allows us [High Voltage] to show off what our company can really do and get it into the hands of the most gamers.” While we’re inclined to argue that most gamers’ hands are in possession of a Wiimote and Nunchuk (at least that’s what the numbers tell us ), moving to the other consoles is a fairly understandable choice given the relatively low sales of HVS’ previous Wiisclusive title. “We are extremely proud of the sales for The Conduit , with over 350,000 copies sold, numerous ‘best-of 2009′ nods, and over a million hours played according to the Nintendo Channel,” noted CEO Kerry Ganofsky

Hey, Rock Band aficionados! Are you ready to spend your hard-earned Microsoft Points, Wii Points or good old-fashioned cash money on tracks which you’ll never be able to play without injuring your tender, fragile metacarpals? Brace your bones — the Music Store is about to get a healthy dose of Megadeth , in the form of the outfit’s 1990 album “Rust in Peace.” Or, as it’s more commonly known, “The one with ‘ Hangar 18 ‘ on it.” The nine-track album will be available for $14.99 (1200 , bundle not available on Wii), and can also be purchased piecemeal for $1.99 (160 , 200 Wii Points) per track. In addition, the Who’s “Super Bowl S-mashup” medley will be made available on Sunday after the big game for $1.99 (160 , 200 Wii Points)

The hype for White Knight Chronicles seemed to run out in the long wait between its 2006 announcement and its 2010 North American release. Had it been released closer to the PS3 launch, it might have wowed some gamers with its large enemies and online integration, but the time seems to have elapsed for that as well

Review: White Knight Chronicles
Sony made us wait a few years for a North American release of White Knight Chronicles , but it’s not waiting at all to give us a chance to spend more money on the game — the official Sony blog has news that the first DLC for the game will be out ASAP, offering up microtransactions for items to fill out the in-game “Georama” space, as well as a $4.99 “key” that will allow you to completely re-customize your character without having to start the game all over again. Of course, Sony guarantees that “there is PLENTY for you to work with in the game itself,” but just in case you want to pay a little more of your hard-earned paycheck, Sony will be happy to take it

If you’ve been sitting on your duff, waiting for a chance to pick up a digital copy of Plants vs. Zombies or Peggle , you might just want to take the plunge at some point today. No, none of the developer’s titles are temporarily discounted — rather, for one day only, all monies spent on any of the games in PopCap’s store will go directly to Partners in Health ; an organization that’s currently working to help Haiti recover from the catastrophic earthquake it suffered earlier this week.
