Mercenaries 2: World in Flames™ is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world.

When a power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply he sparks an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2™ features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment.

Welcome to this week's Movie/Music news roundup, containing new Japanese and Hong Kong Video and Music releases from this week listed at Play-Asia.com. Around 640 new items are covered in this week, including new J-Pop, Anime as well as Japanese, Hong Kong and Western movie releases and much more.

Let horror permeate the air, lower the temperature of your room by a few degrees with the Siren: New Translation Soundtrack. As the most horrifying game ever produced, its soundtrack alone will plant a seed of terror in your nervous system.

Expect the Soul Eater Soundtrack to be as cool and pop as the fantasy action anime. Published by Square Enix and Bonzo, the anime features the lives and missions of students studying in the school for death angels. To go with the exciting action and the theme of partnership, the album is filled to the brim with hip elements.

The fights in the "Tales of" series are often magical and heroic and this mood is largely portrayed by its clever use of music. Tales of Series Game Battle Arrange Tracks allows its listeners to revise all of these battles in one go. Feel the adrenaline in your blood stream as you relive all the exciting battles.

Months after the release of Drink it Down, the theme song of Devil May Cry 4, the chart topping J-Rock band L'arc-en-ciel released their new single Nexus 4 and Shine.

Since Nexus 4 is the theme for a Subaru car commercial, it portrays a sense of freedom and speed while Shine, the opening of the anime Seirei no mamoribito depicts the desire to protect someone or something important.

It has been almost a year since Kinki Kids released their last single Eien ni in 2007 and even longer since Doumoto Tsuyoshi appeared in front of a T.V. screen as a detective. Secret Code [Limited and Standard versions] and the related drama, 33 Tantei appease both wishes at once.

Making use of brass instruments such as trumpets and trombones, Secret Code is a fast paced, fun song with a sense of nostalgia. Re-assess the charms of the grown up idol group and Doumoto Tsuyoshi's transformation from teen detective Kindaichi Hajime to the current Kurama Rokurou.

Here's a summary of all new releases that were published between Saturday, August 23rd and Friday, August 29th. If some specific item that you are looking for is missing, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service with your request.

Well, it looks like all that experience Nintendo has half-explaining Wii supply issues isn't going to waste -- the company just issued a statement regarding shortages of Wii Fit that sounds awfully familiar. Seriously, follow along with us here:

* Wii shortages, Nov. 14, 2007: "The demand for Wii hardware globally has been unprecedented and higher than Nintendo could ever have anticipated."
* Wii Fit shortages, Aug. 28, 2008: "Nintendo had a substantial supply nationwide for launch, though some stores saw spot shortages due to unprecedented demand for this unique product."

Here's a thought, guys: if there's "unprecedented" demand for the console, the demand for arguably the biggest accessory for that console since launch probably isn't unprecedented as well -- and your PR people shouldn't be so well-versed in making excuses like this.

Love your Wii but tiring of your standard control options? Looking for something that involves less arm swinging, feels a little bit more like an Xbox or PS3 experience, and loses that Classic Controller cable? Well the folks from Nyko are here for you, and they want to hold you all night long... and they brought the Wing. What's the Wing you ask? It's essentially a standard gamepad on highly concentrated crack-cocaine. The wireless controller features two analog sticks and a plethora of buttons (both up front and around the back), and can run for around 30 hours on a pair of AAA batteries. No word on price or release date, but if you notice a sudden crime wave and rash of unexplained fires, the Wing is probably out.

A spec sheet is well and good (and trust us, these spec sheets are that), but when we're talking Blu-ray players it's really becoming a question of price: when will they drop? Well, if these Europe prices for the DMB-BD35 and DMB-BD55 from Panasonic are any indication, Panasonic's answer is "not yet." The BD35 is being priced at 399 Euro, while the BD55 will go for 499 Euro. Our guess is the conversion rates ($588 and $735, respectively) won't apply here when these get shipped over to the States, but even at $399 and $499 these well-specced players aren't doing themselves any favors in a Blu-ray market dominated by the PS3. There's really nothing to say about actual "hands-on" impressions of these two, though we would like to say that we scoured Panny's booth for the DMR-BR360V Blu-ray / VHS combo and were sad to come away empty handed, our tattered copy of "Titanic" unwatched.
