If you haven't heard of Atlus' tactical RPG Operation Darkness (and let's face it, not many of us have) then there's a chance to have it running in all its anime World War II glory via the 360 demo, arriving May 5.

The strategy RPG takes place in an alternate reality, where instead of rolling panzers across Europe Hitler's opted for the legions of undead and fire-breathing monsters. There's also zombie Nazis and mecha Nazis, which must be worth a download at least. Right?

It's out on June 24 in North America. Or, if you're really crafty, you can find a Japanese demo on the Japan Marketplace right now. Just don't tell Microsoft we told you.

We'll admit that we had almost forgotten that a console port of Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander was in the works for the Xbox 360, which is probably just as well as it keeps us from being disappointed that the futuristic RTS won't be making its April release date. According to Shacknews, the port, which is being handled by Hellbent Games, has been pushed out by publisher Aspyr until "later this spring or early summer."

No reason was given, through Aspyr marketing man Eric Duncan spun up the delay, stating that "the additional time put into development will result in better gameplay and more fun for gamers." Supreme Commander is certainly one of the most complex RTS releases to come along in a good while, and will be a good test to see just how far the genre can be pushed on a game pad, as long as they don't push it over the cliff. ...

By the looks of it, last week's Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 patch hasn't fixed all of the "game breaking" bugs being experienced by players.

According to complaints on Major Nelson's semi-official forum, Bully players are still experiencing multiple random freezes, choppy audio and graphical glitches.

"We are very aware of the problems some people have been experiencing with the Xbox 360 version of Bully: Scholarship Edition and have been doing everything within our powers to resolve these issues as quickly as possible," PR man Darlan Monterisi recently said on the matter.

It looks like Rockstar might have to roll out a second patch to fix the issues then. We've left a message with its UK office and expect a statement back shortly... ...

Capcom has debunked internet reports claiming that an updated version of Resident Evil 4 is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3.

Blurry photographs of "Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition" appeared on the internet yesterday, supposedly having been leaked from "Capcom's San Francisco building".

"I was sent this goody by a friend who works at Capcom's San Fransisco building. He spied an artist working on what appeared to be boxart for an upcoming port of Resident Evil 4 for the XBOX 360 and PS3 entitled "Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition," read the fakester's internet post.

A Capcom spokesperson replied on its official forum: "Wow. Really? We work in San Francisco? I didn't know that. Why does my business card say we're in San Mateo? Darn it, I need to get it updated." Looks like the faker should've done more research.

"Also. We have no artists that work in Dev here... Further more, All RE comes out of Japan. None of it comes from CEI."

A shame really, we would've played it for the Achievements alone. Cheer yourself up with some new(ish) footage of Resident Evil 5. ...
