In a recent report,Forbessheds some interesting light on the topic of game pricing — for those of you in possession of inquiring minds. According to them, the $60 price tag that Xbox 360 games are now proudly sporting is a 20% increase over game prices of the past. The risk involved with creating such a product for a brand new console is high, perhaps justifying why beyond a few key titles, console launch support always seem to suck balls....

This weeks Wii Shop Channel releases aren’t exactlywhat Capcom had in mind. It seemed to be under the impression thatMega Man 4the originalMega Manwould be making an appearance on the Virtual Console today. Well, Nintendo does what Nintendo wants apparently, because that’s not quite the case. Gameloft’sWild Wild Guns (Gameloft, 1-2 players, 1,000 Wii Points), a point at things and then shoot them original WiiWare title is available today, however. I think the a sentance in the press release says it all: “Point and shoot to earn points....

X-Men Origins: Wolverinehas scenes, and we’re thrust behind them once again by a developer diary. This one, titled “Uncanny,” deals with how the game follows the movie’s plot and briefly describes some enemies in the game. No promises ofWolverinevideogame supremacy in this one, folks. But there is one shocker. Sabretooth is Wolverine’s brother. According to the devs, this is a good thing. We’re still trying to figure out why. Click through to see the video....

A sequel was made to the Snoop Kirby song and it sucks. Some loser starts to sing and well, the only reason it made it here was cause of the sw33t gif.

Last week, Ubisoft sent me a preview build ofScott Pilgrim vs. The Worldfor PlayStation Network. One thing it didn’t tell me (and why in the hell not?) is that there’s a secret code you can input on the title screen that will unlock zombie enemies. Why keep this from me, Ubisoft!? I had to hear it from Edgar Wright, the director of the upcomingScott Pilgrim vs. the Worldfilm, who posted it on his blog along with a video of the undead pixels in action....

The first Xbox LIVE Arcade game with playable Avatars was NinjaBee’sA Kingdom for Keflings, a quirky game about bossing around villagers as a giant and looking for hearts buried deep inside the world’s vast amount of resources. As we learnedtoday from Big Download, there are plans for a PC release. I’m not being facetious when I express my joy for this news. Seriously, I really did enjoy the heck out of this game....

[Excremento is well known in theCommunity Blogsfor his numerous Top 10 lists he makes every week. This week for the Community Blog Promotion Week, he went ahead and made a Top 50 list of his top 50 games of all time. This list is so epic, that I had to split it off into two parts. Expect the second half of Excremento’s list tomorrow afternoon. Until then, enjoy!— CTZ] I am a weird kid — I’ve heard it all throughout my life....

Remember last year when Activision proved just what a bastard it is by trying to sellModern Warfare 2for £55? Well, according to recent retail listings, the fiends are at it again.Call of Duty: Black Opsis already up for pre-order via a number of outlets, and you guessed it — Activision wants fifty-five queenquids. To be fair to the retailers, most of them aren’t being scummy and have slashed £10 from the RRP already, but the simple fact is that Activision, yet again, is charging a premium rate for its game just because it feels it can get away with it, and that’s pretty damn grotesque....

Probably because it’s a pretty big day for videogame releases, Amazon has devoted their daily Gold Box promotion to games. That means there’s a selection of Lightning Deals throughout the day with discounts on specific items for a limited time. As always, they have provided times (in Pacific) and clues for the products: In addition to these, you can also grab a copy ofStarCraft II: Wings of Libertyfor 33% off as the Deal of the Day....

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Video Gameis going to look great because they brought in Paul Robertson. We already knew that. But it’s going to sound great because they brought in chiptunersAnamanaguchifor the soundtrack. I’m super excited about that, naturally. Stacking a great soundtrack from a great band on top of great art from a cool property is going to make for a killer game. The PlayStation Blog has a really cool feature that shows off a few too-short snippets from the game’s soundtrack....

I’m pretty sure that Andy Serkis has done for motion capturing whatCitizen Kanedid for deep focus. There’s no doubt that his performance as Gollum inThe Lord of the Ringsfilms cemented motion capture as a viable option for an important role or performance. It’s even more exciting that he’s been bringing his skills to games (Enslavedis next) and is at leastpasionate abouthow important real stories are in games. Thus, it should come as very little surprise that the man hasopened upthe first motion capture studio in the UK to produce high quality performances for games and film....
