Minecraft, which was announced to be coming out for the Xbox360 over a year ago, will be hitting the Xbox Arcade for 1600MSP

The release date is set for May 9th.

Minecraft, if you don't know what it is:
"Minecraft is focused on creativity and building, allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: Survival, which requires players to acquire resources themselves and maintain their health and hunger; and Creative, where the player has an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no concept of health or hunger. A third gameplay mode, named Hardcore, is essentially the same as Survival, but the difficulty is locked on the hardest setting and respawning is disabled, forcing the player to delete his or her world upon death. An outdated Classic version is also available for free, although it is no longer being developed. Creative Minecraft resembles Classic, but with many more features.

     Were you one of the people expecting the promised Varric DLC, Flemeth DLC, Leliana DLC, and Morrigan DLC.Well, your out of luck. EA stated earlier this week that they are  done with Dragon Age II.  Which means no DLC, support, or expansions will be coming out anymore. BioWare's reasoning being  that they are in the next phase of the Dragon Age series.

I'm not to sure how this go over with the fans of the game that have stuck through everything with this game.

The American live action movie of Akira has been halted, but some of the storyboards for the movie got leaked. This is an idea of what we could have seen, or still may yet see if the movie does eventually move forward:

These concept sketchs were done by artist Sylvain Despretz.
Thanks to the guys at io9 for the post.

Game Informer which is owned by GameStop  leaked art for Assassin's Creed III. The hub for Assassin's Creed III (which has since been pulled), showing the hooded character with George Washington. I did manage to find the pulled image:
