Do you feel the need? The need for Tom Cruise?

Next week, hybrid Blu-ray releases of both the Top Gun and Days of Thunder movies and video games will be available in store. That’s right: a single Blu-ray disc for each release. Previously, the games were released as downloadable titles only, so this gives you a better reason to buy both games if you haven’t already.

505 Games is releasing both for $30 each on June 7th.

505 Games has announced the release date for the next two titles in their Cooking Mama franchise. On Wii, Mama’s stepping out of the kitchen, trying her hand at diaper changing with the new game Cooking Mama World: Babysitting Mama.

While the bonnet-wearing nose-less muppet will have to tend to a baby in game, the software will come bundled with an actual baby doll peripheral for you to tend to at home. Slide the Wii Remote into the back of the baby, and you’re ready to take on parenting during the most unbearable year’s of human life. Following on screen meters, you’ll have to react to your baby’s mood, taking cues as to when to feed, play or clean your bundle of joy. You’ll also teach your young one to walk up steps.

DS owners are trading the baby experience for the new title Cooking Mama World: Hobbies & Fun. The game follows Mama into a world of crafts, allowing plays to make pottery, woodwork and jewelery.

Look for both titles to release November 12th.

Naughty Bear was the only teddy bear not invited to the birthday party. Therefore, Naughty is going to torment and torture each and every teddy he can find.

In the latest trailer for the Xbox 360 and PS3 title, it appears Naughty may have gotten some of his killer instincts from Spielberg’s killer creation Jaws. Naughty, in super sized form, decides to take some of the stuffing out of two of his foes. Take a look at the new scary trailer above.

It’s either sink or swim when Naughty Bear releases on June 8th.

While EA Sports may have the NFL’s license put to full use with their Madden NFL series, they certainly aren’t the only developers with a love for pig skin.

On June 1st, 505 Games will be releasing their next-gen football title Backbreaker. The game is said to offer players in-depth customization, allowing for the creation of unique personalized teams, usable in the game’s singleplayer, splitscreen and online multiplayer mode. You’ll also have access to the game’s selection of 60 preloaded teams.

The game will also provide fans with the robust Euphoria motion synthesis engine, set to offer fans the most realistic intense football on store shelves. We will find out soon enough when the game ships.

In the meantime, take a look at the above trailer for Backbreaker‘s running tutorial above, which will show you how to run the ball with ease.

Considering her alleged drug dependence issues and poor work ethic, you’d think the former Disney sweetheart would gladly take any work thrown her way.

As you can see, the cover for the new (yeah, new) DS video game based on the hit 2004 film Mean Girls, there’s no Lohan.

The rest of the cast showed up, including a pre-Mama Mia! Amanda Seyfried, The Notebook’s Rachel McAdams and Lacey Chabert, or as I like to call her, Eliza Thornberry. Ironically, the game follows Lohan’s character Cady throughout her high school adventures, making her boxart absence unfortunate.

The game will release April 20th.

Naughty Bear was a bit different than the other bears in the forest. He was often picked on and teased for being different. When a group of his fuzzy, cuddly teddy bear acquaintances get together for a birthday party, they don’t invite him. Instead of getting hurt, Naughty Bear gets even and goes on a killing spree. The game offers a relatable premise for gamers and nerds alike, one which we can probably all relate to. Except the homicidal rampage part.

Scour the Island of Perfection for your former friends, and terrorize them until your heart’s content. Or until they’re all psychologically or physically harmed for life. Some bears won’t be bullied without a fight however, and may team up against you. You’ll have to avoid their attacks, and beat them at your own game.

Naughty Bear is set to release this June in the US, and April in the UK. For a brand new trailer for the title, visit the game’s site below.

Though Monster Finder will have the distinction of being the first DSi-only game in Japan, I’m not quite clear on how exactly it will incorporate real world images into the game. As it turns out, Europe will also be getting its first DSi-only game soon as well, and it makes a little more sense with the camera.

The game’s called Hair Salon, though, so I’m not sure how many of you are going to rush to add this baby to your wishlists. In case you’re not quite sold, be aware that you’ll be able to take pictures of you and all your friends and can then use the game to customize your hair, make-up, the whole works!
