Games Round-Up Hello, it's me Jim Plachy, back to bring you some video game news. It's going to be quick this week so apologies in advance. If you want more news you could always check out my site, Four Player Co-Op, all we do is the video games.

SONY

The recently released for the Xbox 360 Child of Eden is in fact still in development for the PS3. Look for 3D and PS Move support.

There will be a beta for Journey starting soon. No word on how you get in, but it doesn't sound like you have very good odds.

MICROSOFT

To celebrate Bungie's 20th anniversary and to send their involvement with the Halo franchise off in style you can grab some goodies for your Halo: Reach Spartan and nameplate.

Speaking of Halo, the anniversary edition of the first game will have some sort of Kinect integration. However, it will not be used to control the game.

Speaking of Kinect, Peter Molyneux says Kinect "has some problems."

Here's a look at Gears of War 3's Horde 2.0.
