In an attempt to cover their behinds, GAME has introduced warning stickers on pre-owned games, informing buyers that they won’t receive new game DLC bonuses.

According to Capcom producer Shinsaku Ohara, Dead Rising 2’s Canadian developer is trying to make the game feel ”more western.”

Here’s my nomination for the biggest “Dude, what?” News of the week. Official Xbox Magazine’s cover issue dedicated to Fable III is out now, and apparently the most interesting part of the entire preview is… you can have sex with your Xbox Live friends.

It’s not every day you hear a PC-centric developer say something good about the console market. According to an interview conducted by Stephen Totilo at Kotaku, the Crytek crew believes that making Crysis 2 work for console actually turned out for the better.

After a lot of teasing and rumors relating to this big reveal, Gears of War 3 Trailer has finally hit the web. With Cliff Bleszinski’s appearance on The Late Show he brought a wonderful little trailer about Epic Games’ upcoming 3rd installment to the Gears of War franchise. You don’t care what I think though, so watch the trailer itself:

Awkward is the name of this podcast for a lot of reasons. Mainly its because there are a lot of jokes that don’t go over well, or just that weird feeling where no one knows what to say. Its still the regular TalkGames podcast though, so check the download out at the bottom and the show notes right here:

Those of you thinking the skate series are dead wrong. Not only was skate 3 revealed a few weeks ago, but we also have some screenshots to show you guys. Stellar images featuring people on skateboards, people doing tricks on skateboards, and making places where you can see people on skateboards.

I say “the third F.E.A.R. game” because I still don’t know the official name yet. Despite the lengthy press release’s attempt to mention the name “F.E.A.R. 3″ as many times possible… there’s still a damn number in the title. Regardless, that’s not very important, as there are more interesting things going on with this latest installment:

As you should all know it has been confirmed that Cliff Bleszinski, the well-known name associated with Epic Studios and all things Gears of War, will be on The Late Show to discuss the next game Epic is working on. Unfortunately Cliff’s appearance has been delayed in favor of getting Justin Bieber on the show (terrible, I kn0w). However he’ll still be appearing sometime next week, which means there’s already been some rumors swimming around about what Cliff could be announcing.

In wake of all the drama that has surrounded Activision and Infinity Ward, it’s nice to know that someone in the company still is maintaining a sense of humor.

Activision has announced that the Stimulus Package the recent downloadable map offering for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been sold to 2.5 million customers. That’s a pretty impressive number for content that has only been available for about a week. What’s even more monumental is the fact that the DLC moved 1 million units within the first 24 hours.

Feeling down in the dumps and have nothing to do? Counting the days until you can get that copy of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days to give life a new meaning? Well you’re in luck, as Eidos have released the original trailer of Kane & Lynch 2, now with 20 more glorious seconds of footage!

Players who found the Splinter Cell: Conviction demo too easy will be happy to know Ubisoft have tweaked the difficulty profoundly.

Due to overwhelming demand, Activision and Bizarre Creations have worked with Microsoft to transition the Blur multiplayer beta program to a free download on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Starting today, everyone who has a Xbox Live Gold account will be able to join in on the open beta demo.
