Welcome to the first Friday Night Fight of 2008, Dtoiders! Whether it beTeam Fortress 2,Rock Band, orWarhawk, we just want to have a good time doing something we love with a bunch of awesome people. We’re all ready to do what we do best: play videogames. If you’d be so kind as to post your gamertag/Steam ID/PSN name in the comments and check the listings after the jump to see if there is already a host for the game you’ll be playing, we’d really appreciate it....

You guys seem to generally like us pointing out these GameFly sales, so here’s another one! As per usual, these games are used copies — but always arrive in excellent condition, from my past experiences — and the shipping is free. Heck yes. It’s best to hit up the individual platform pages rather than have me spout off a bunch of games you probably don’t even care about, so take your pick:Xbox 360,Wii,PlayStation 3....

Jim’s traveling this week, so you’re getting your Games of the Week fix from a different source. Thrilling. You’ve no doubt seen this video by Miles Fisher, where he covers a Talking Heads song and putsit to a video where he mimicsAmerican Psycho.That movie already had a Talking Heads song in its soundtrack but it was clearly the wrong choice both metaphorically and literally. It’s also probably NSFW, somewhere about the point they recreate the threesome scene....

WhenRock Band 3ships this holiday, you’ll be able to immediately play nearly all of your existing song content, from the stuff that shipped on discs to that Miley Cyrus song you bought while you were drunk last week. But since the folks who author this content have families and lives, don’t go expecting everything to get retrofit for new features like keyboards, pro modes, and vocal harmonies. But the content going forward?...

Gearbox may be hard at work onBorderlands, but the team hasn’t forgotten thatothershooter it’s working on. The one involving double-mouthed, phallic-headed space-rapists. News onAliens: Colonial Marineshas been so sparse that Gearbox has had to continually assure us it’s still in the works, butaccording to bossRandy Pitchford, the wait for information will be worth it. “I want to tell all, but I can’t,” explains Pitchford. “I can say that we are working hard and that there are great things afoot and I know that when the time is right, Sega will be excited to share more details about the game....

Can you just absolutely not wait to get your hands onGears of War 3? Well, you’re going to have to hold out for another six days. But if you want to get yourself even more anxious and cause more sleepless nights you can now get the soundtrackright nowoniTunes. It’s exactly what you’d expect from aGearssoundtrack — unless those expectations included Body Count. That’s right, Body Count’sThe Gears of Warthat wasannouncedby Ice-T himself at E3 to help promote the game, and was evenfeaturedin a trailer, is nowhere to be found in the digital version of the soundtrack....

OVERVIEW: The GRAW™ 2 Co-op Collection consists of five Co-op Campaign missions that continue the story from GRAW 2. In total there are nine maps, seven of which are inspired by classic maps from Ghost Recon’s illustrious history and two that are totally brand new. All nine maps (including adversarial versions of the Co-op Campaign maps) have exquisite visuals and support all of GRAW 2’s thousands of customizable game modes....

They’re stopping atGamestops in 52 cities around the nationto give gamers a chance to check out what the game is all about before it’s released in a couple of weeks. The tour started a few days ago and it should be hitting San Francisco Gamestops starting tomorrow. If you may’t make one of the tour stops, then check outour preview onChinatown Warsthat went up last week....

Steve Tyler has a gigantic mouth. Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest. Anyway, we just got word on the pricing and packaging info forGuitar Hero: Aerosmith. The game and guitar bundle will go for $99 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, and $89 for the PS2. Even more awesome for PS2 owners is that there will be a another package bundle where the game will come with TWO guitars for only $110....

The PSP has many fine portable brawlers, but theSoulcaliburseries has not made the transition…until now. I had a chance to spend some quality time withSoulcalibur: Broken Destinyon the PSP at E3 this year, and I really liked what I saw. Broken Destinyhas many of the features you liked about its big brother, the console gameSoulcalibur IV, tucked inside a little package. Or at least it’s supposed to. In our demo, there were only a handful of characters shown as playable....

Ever since Harmonix announced the keyboard forRock Band 3, fans have been begging to get their hands on the new instrument. And for good reason —Rock Band‘s music has been compensating for the lack of keyboard support with really weird guitar tracks that don’t quite make much sense for the music. Having a keyboard solves this problem and opens up whole new possibilities for the types of music that we can see, hear, and play....

A new patch forLeft 4 Dead 2will be beamed to your PC the next time you start up Steam. It changes up some Special Infected hit boxes, kills an exploit or two, and tweaks the physics to prevent breakage. You can read all about the specific changes by clicking through the break. I’d gladly offer more insight, but the day after my Xbox 360 died I receivedLeft 4 Dead 2in the mail....
