Didn't see it mentioned here yet, but I saw the KOEI Warriors site mention the other day that the new Dynasty Warriors 6:Special is coming out over in Japan in September. Looks like characters like Cao Pi, Ling Tong, and Ma Chao get their own story modes, and all the characters with cloned movesets will get their own unique movesets. Oddly enough, its for the PS2, but from the forums it sounds like the "Special" content will also be available for download (eventually!) for those who have DW6 on the 360 or PS3.

And a new trailer for John Woo's "Red Cliff" (i.e. Battle of Chi Bi the movie) just came out. I was gonna do an embed, but I'll just link it here instead. This one actually has English subtitles, so I can finally understand at least some of what's going on. It looks like the movie focuses on Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. They seem to have a friendly rivalry in the movie, as opposed to Zhou Yu's obsessive jealousy of Zhuge Liang from the RotTK novel.
