Aliens vs. Predator. Now there’s a game that has been patiently waiting on my to-buy list essentially since the day it came out. Somehow, my Xenomorph Revoltech, which sits next to my monitor in various silly poses, wasn’t enough of a reminder to get on that already. Steam is offering the normally $19.99 Windows version fora fair $4.99right now, in case you were holding out like me. Additionally, the two map packs are down to $1....

Tekken! It’s coming to the 3DS as well and holy crap it looks gorgeous, even in 3D! All the action on the top screen forTekken 3D Prime Editionis done in 60 frames per second so the action looks very fluid and crisp. As for the bottom screen, Namco is taking a page from Capcom’s book by setting four touch buttons to perform quick and easy combo attacks. The four touch screen buttons may even be customizable by the player, but Namco hasn’t settled on whether they’ll allow users to create custom attacks in the final game....
Tucked away in the super busy PlayStation booth here at Tokyo Game Show is one of the new Blue PS3 models that will come in the Gran Turismo 5 racing pack. In fact, they had the whole box contents splayed out here on the floor, so we shot some pictures to share with you. I think the blue PS3 looksreallynice.

At first, I wasn’t sure what to do for the 100th entry ofThe Memory Card. All I knew was I wanted to make it special. I have been doing this series for almost five years, and am still in shock that I have written this many entries. It is something I am unbelievably proud of, but it is also something I couldn’t have done without all your wonderful support. I will never be able to thank you enough....
