Yes, I know. I only ever write about Bayonetta these days (apparently, writing less than one post a day on a game incorporates 100% of my average ten-posts-per-day quota), but I’ve legitimate news this time. Sega has today revealed a Western release date for Platinum Games’ sexy action title. North America gets the game on January 5, while Europe will be able to pick it up on January 8.

If you’re impatient, you can get the inferior PS3 version of the game via import, since it’s all in English. However, if you’re holding out for the Xbox 360 version or just don’t feel like spending the bucks, you’ve not got too long to wait. In any case, I am incredibly excited for this faptastic game. Of course, since every post I’ve ever written on Destructoid is about this game, you already knew that.

Hit the jump for the PR.

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (October 29, 2009) – In the week that SEGA of Japan releases the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 action game BAYONETTA, SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America Inc. can reveal that the perfectly rated and eagerly anticipated third person action title will be the first genuine triple A of 2010.

As expected, the next GTA IV episode is now. The downloadable version of Grand Theft Auto: “The Ballad of Gay Tony” is live on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Weighing in at a modest 2 GB and priced at 1,600 Microsoft Banana Bucks, the latest episode brings new cars, new weapons, new game modes and, more importantly, a fresh narrative starring Luis Lopez, a protector of sorts for the nightclubs owned “impresario” Tony Prince.

As Major Nelson points out in his post, this episode is available on as a stand-alone retail disc, coupled with its predecessor downloadable “The Lost and the Damned.” This disc, dubbed Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, is listed by the GameStop database as “shipping” this morning, so it might or may not be on shelves quite yet.

We’re playing this thing.
