Sigourney Weaver passed up on lending her voice for Ghostbusters: The Video Game, but that doesn't mean she's never going to try her hand at doing voiceovers in video games. Ubisoft announced today that she will be joining the cast of voice actors for James Cameron's Avatar title.

It's quite an emotional rollercoaster, this week really was. Straight off from the news that the King of Pop has died, we went on to have the usual string of gaming news that rocked our own worlds. With the usual news on lawsuits, layoffs, company shutdowns, convicted murderers over consoles, it was looking to be a sad state of affairs. Good thing we've got our own Neverland to brighten things up a bit. And now we've come to the Fourth of July weekend. Time to kick off those shoes, stretch out, unwind and celebrate. You know we all deserve it. Happy FOJ weekend, everyone!

Despite the lackluster appeal of movie adaptations of video games, super Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer remains positive that one day, they just might get it right. And it won't suck the living daylights out of us anymore.

After last week's rather paltry offerings, we finally get a hefty bunch of new releases. The PSP gets the shaft again this week with no releases, followed by the PC which has only one actual playable new game out. OK, there are two PC titles in the list, but come on. Hannah Montana? Meanwhile, the DS gets more than the usual amount of good games. Really, there are only a couple of shovelware titles in there. Usually they make up like 60% of the DS list. The home console releases are also in top form. Read on for the rest of this week's software releases!

Oh, foxy lady getting some action, eh? Fresh from The Transformers movie and well into production for Transformers 2, Megan Fox is now currently being rumored to play Tomb Raider babe Lara Croft in the next installment of the TR movie franchise.

Yeah, if she's not running around after the All-Spark, she's now going to hunt down other ancient relics.

Games and movies, will they ever be seen under the same light? For the new Dragonball: Evolution game for the PSP, at least, maybe not. Then again, that's a different matter altogether... Enter EA CEO John Riccitiello talking about video games as an art form - he thinks that within five years, the game industry may prove every one wrong, that games do have the potential to be considered just as impressive as movies and books.

Veteran actor Sigourney Weaver was recently interviewed by MTV Games to see whether she would reprise her roles in the video game adaptations of Aliens and Ghostbusters.

The answer is no. But go to the full article anyway to find out why.

The Hollywood Music Awards hailed the greats of mainstream and indie artists once again, and thankfully, giving video game music a slice of the pie. Inside are the winners for "Best Original Score," "Best Original Song," and "Outstanding Music Supervision" of the video game category.

There’s no official word on this yet but several sources close to the companies involved did confirm that talks between the two giants are well under way. Legendary Pictures and its chairman, Thomas Tull, are reportedly very interested in Epic, who is admittedly open to the idea.

If last week's on-shelves superstar is Niko Bellic from Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), today we have Steven Spielberg, the Academy Award-winning director of ET, Jaws and Jurassic Park. No, we won't be playing the director in a video game. Rather, we can now get a feel of his brainchild puzzle video game, Boom Blox. See what other game titles will be released this week over at the full article.
