Infinity Ward doesn’t want to see theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Prestige Editionon store shelves or at a discounted price. Speaking toIGN, IW community manager Robert Bowling confirmed that the pre-order bonus — which includes night-vision goggles — is indeed limited. In other words, you won’t buying the sweet set ofModern Warfaregoodness on Amazon for nickels in the future. “We’ve already been asked by retailers to up the production numbers due to demand,” Bowling said, “which we immediately denied....

You know how it works! With the help of each other, attempt to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is one that a reader incorrectly guessed as the theme in a previous week of teasers. I thought the idea was too interesting to pass up since it involved diabolically hard teasers, so here they are, and there’s your hint....

Ossian Studios’ first Adventure Pack forNeverwinter Nights 2, “Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate,” will be available April 29 for the meager price of $9.99. It sounds like the expansion is digital-only, so head on over toAtari’s Internet storeon the 29th if you’re down with some moreNwN 2, er, adventure. If you’re unfamiliar with the expansion — hell, I was — the game’s officialWeb site is up and runningfor your viewing pleasure....

If next Friday is called Black Friday, then this Friday should be called Blu Friday (Ba dum chssh).PLAYSTATION 3 is finally out this week. And if your reading this, that means you more than likely won’t be getting one cause you should be waiting in line. Seriously, if you didn’t get lucky and get a pre-order, you need to go wait in line. Like now. Also, I know that the Wii is coming out this Sunday, but we’ll just save the full list for next week sense a lot of people believe Sundays to be start of the new week....

IGNhas a bloody splattering of new images fromJericho, horror maestro Clive Barker’s latest dabbling in the gooey entrails of gaming. It’s all looking rather foul at the moment, and as a gore-hound Barker fan, I do of course mean rather great. The shots depict some exceedingly grimy and claustrophobic looking environments, populated with the kind of gleefully dismembered, S and M-loving denizens we’ve come to expect from Pinhead’s dad. It all bodes well for some particularly dark and dirty horror FPS action when the game appears in September....

Gohere,hereandhereand then watch the video above. Margary is the guy who makes incredibly realistic statues of videogame characters, items and enemies....

This may be good or bad news depending on your philosophy, but Capcom has made a stand against downloadable content byassuring the worldthatDevil May Cry 4will have everything on the disc. Hiroyuki Kobayashi stated thatDevil May Cry 4is vast and comprehensive enough to not need any additions, either on the Xbox 360 or PS3. Capcom is confident that the content on the disc will keep any Dante fan satisfied. It’s certainly nice to know that Capcom has no intention of using digital distribution as an excuse to milk a game dry....

I will admit that gettingMonster Hunter 4is a good deal for the Nintendo 3DS. That series is more popular in Japan than pictures of twelve-year-old girls with humongous breasts. What about Sony, though? Will the PlayStation Vita be in line for someMonster Hunteraction? Sony doesn’t know. “I don’t know. You will have to ask Capcom,” said SCEJ president Hiroshi Kawano, his abruptness sounding just a little bit bitchy. Worldwide studios boss Shuhei Yoshida was a little less curt, expressing the notion that a dual-platform release was quite possible since “Most large game publishers operate on a multiplatform basis....

Actor Boris Kodjoe, starring inSurrogateswhich opens soon, has revealedsome plot detailsonResident Evil: Afterlife. He’s set to star in the movie along with Milla Jovovich,Prison Breakstar, Wentworth Miller (who’s doing somethingBioShockrelated too) and Ali Larter, who played Claire Redfield inResident Evil: Extinction. Not much on the plot was given, but we have a basic idea of what to expect now. F*ck: I play the leader of the survivors in LA. Milla Jovovich’s character, Alice, is roaming the world looking for survivors and she’s wound up in LA, which has been burning for three years....
