Speculation grew this weekend that PC shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is coming to Xbox 360, after its Ukrainian developer GSC Game World revealed it's become a certified Xbox developer.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. PC publisher THQ gave us a swift "no comment" when we picked up the phone, though we saw that coming a mile off.

The official announcement can be found over on GSC's website, but one sentence from the Russian press release was left out of the English announcement, as spotted by eagle-eyed NeoGAF forum users.

"Our second aim is to increase X360 install base and legal software sales in ex-USSR region. Creation of high quality, interesting, comprehensible for our players titles and acceptable cost of games is the key to this task," says the Russian release, via our mate Google translate.

We can only support the cause of introducing more Russians to Xbox Live, if only to make online games of Call of Duty even more authentic.

As for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 360, apparently GSC is already working on a handful of unannounced console titles, so it'd be a pretty safe assumption that at least one of them will take place near Chernobyl.

We'll let you know when GSC's inevitable Russian press release answering all arrives. ...

Nintendo says there is "absolutely no truth" behind reports that it could be feeding media with stories to accentuate hype about the demand for its sold-out Wii console.

Speculation arose when a report regarding families paying over the odds for the highly sought-after console appeared in identical form in two totally different UK newspapers.

This was picked up by -BEEP-, who suggested Nintendo could have "fed" both publications the report to boost Wii demand hype.

Nintendo told us: "There is absolutely no truth whatsoever in what they have written, it is totally unsubstantiated and merely rumour they are reporting as fact."

A seemingly peeved Nintendo went on to state: "We are certainly NOT distributing any press release to feed media with demand stories - we never have."

There are various news pool sources from which newspapers can take stories for publication. This story could have come from one of those, which would explain the identical wording. ...

Those looking forward to a Christmas of co-op fake guitar action will be disappointed to hear that standalone Guitar Hero 3 wireless guitars will not be in the shops until early next year.

That leaves rocking PS3, Wii and every-other-platform gamers with the choice of buying another copy of the game to get their two-player action on, or buggering it off altogether until after the mince pies have gone away.

Activision US broke the news to our mate Kotaku, but its UK outfit is being shy as to whether Europe is in the same situation. We're guessing we're not going to find standalone guitars until next year either.

Xbox 360 and PS2 owners can take refuge in the fact that old GHII controllers will work just fine with the latest instalment, of which you can read the review right here. It's still really quite good. ...

Play Beowulf, an epic hero tormented by desire for power and glory. A slayer and a king – torn between the nobility and brutality within him.

You are Beowulf, legendary Norse warrior with the strength of 30 men. Arrogant, self-serving, and lustful for gold and glory, you journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land. But evil persists, and you succumb to its lure of even greater fame, quietly maneuvering to claim the Danish throne. As King, you must face the consequences of ambition, even as war descends on the realm. Lead your thanes into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age, and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both your kingdom and your people.

Only then, when you look Destiny in the eye, will you know what kind of hero you truly are...
