For some reason, Amazon has a 20gb Xbox 360 on sale for $329.99 right now. Why is it $20 less than the recently announced official price drop? We have no idea, but it might have something do with Amazon wanting to clear out the current stock of non-HDMI models to make way for the new ones, though you shouldn’t quote us on that.. Something else is a bit suspect: the item is named “Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive”....

Lead game designer Jim Richardson has posted new details about the enemies ofEarth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, as well as provided some backstory for those damn dirty Ravagers. Earth Defense Force 2017was a game in which I shot down all buildings on sight (because they were going to be destroyed anyway) and fired missiles into fellow squads (because they were going to die anyway). As such, it’s funny to read about serous topics like “genetic seeding techniques” and “the Great Culling....
Usually, I have no trouble picking one image that I feel really brings out an artists best work. This time though, it was a tough choice. But in the end, I knew what truly deserved to be shown off first. What are Wario and Waluigi doing? The answer is Hand Vagina and you haven’t liveduntil you’ve seenthis trick (God blessCollegeHumor). Art Attack Friday (not to be confused with the CTZ of Japantor, God Len, newFeatured Fan Artistfeature) this week is all aboutJoe “Mr-DNA” Haley....
Borderlands— the fantastic end result of an FPS that was impregnated by an RPG with a rusty instrument — had an impressive October debut, taking third place in the October NPD results with over 400,000 units sold. The success is kind of a big deal, but there’s something even more to be made out of the numbers. According to Gearbox Software in a recent press release,Borderlandshas had the best week one sales of any fresh (game) IP in all of 2009....
It seemed incredibly likely thatBullestormwouldcome and go withoutso much as a PC demo. That’s not the case, though — one was just released on Games for Windows Live (here) and Steam (here). Cue outlandish jokes about killing the dicks off of people! Nick posted sometips ‘n’ tricksfor the console demo, which should still apply to whatever it is PC gamers are getting here. I’m not one to regularly play demos, butBulletstormis the kind of title worth checking out in that capacity, as it’s a bit of an oddball....
What’s left for Kratos afterGod of War III?

In a not-so-recent interview withGamervision, Sony Santa Monica director of project development John Hight revealed that theGod of Warseries is set to continue afterGod of War IIIis released. “This is not the end ofGod of War,” Hight said during the video interview....
As sure as the air you’re breathing, there are newPokémongames in the works for Nintendo consoles right now. You know this, right? Not convinced? “We are also developingPokémonrelated products on the Wii and 3DS,” Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata told investors yesterday, followed by at least one attendee grumbling the Japanese equivalent of “no sh*t” under his breath. Really, not surprising at all, as I expect Nintendo to be making Pokémon games well beyond my time on this Earth....
The long, long wait for PS3 owners who have yet to experience the bliss ofCastle Crashersis almost at an end. In an update to their blog, Behemoth has revealed that the game has completed their internal testing and has been sent to a 3rd party vendor for final testing before being sent to Sony for certification. Can you taste it? I can and it tastes like chocolate pudding with a rich, nutty flavor....
Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show, everyone’s favoriteTekkencharacter lookalike Kaz Hirai hasmade an encouraging claimfor investors — the PS3 may make money one day! As we all know, the PS3 is currently a profit whirlpool, sucking profit into its murky depths and negating any cash made with software, the PS2 and the PSP. It’s not all doom and gloom, however, as an optimistic Kaz is quick to point out. “Component costs are coming down, and the number of components … we are seeing a reduction,” Kaz stated....

Fifty bones gets you the Blue Bomber himself, Dr. Wily, and the original Robot Masters.Click here if you dare....
Speaking at Gamescom this morning, DICE has confirmed that co-op will be coming toBattlefield 3. During a live demo, we’ve gotten to see how players work together to stealthily complete objectives in concert, and cover each other’s backs when they’re inevitably spotted. It looks pretty damn tight and should be a cool new feature for those out there who are obsessed with co-op. What do you reckon? Has this revelation tipped your hype-meter into overdrive?...
