The packaging above was snagged from the UK retail websiteGame, but the developer in charge of the porting, Digital Extremes, is proudly displaying thevery same thing. What does this mean past the fact that there will be some sort of integration? We have no clue....

We’ve been covering thegrimly predictable outrageover Konami’sSix Days in Fallujah, a videogame based on a real-life battle during the Iraq War. While tabloids and families of war dead have already condemned the game without seeing any of its content, a number of veterans have actuallyexpressed supportfor the project. Kind of undermines the grievances of those who weren’t actuallyinthe war, right? “As a combat veteran and as a gamer, I have no problem whatsoever with the game,” explains Sgt....
We’ve known that three of Jason Rohrer’s independent games were coming to DSiWare as a collection, but that was about all we knew. As of today,Alt-Play: Jason Rohrer Anthologyhas a price and date: 200 Nintendo Points gets youPassage,Gravitation, andBetweenstarting on January 3. I’m gladthey went witha lower price point.

Some random geeks from 1UP have gotten their hands onLeft 4 Dead,the upcomingco-op zombie gamewhere you may either play as the small group of survivors or the neverending hordes of zombies trying to prevent said humans from finding the princess. While the video does show off quite a lot of the game itself, you’re going to have to endure a bit of lame, MTV-style e-diary of the aforementioned nerds trying to act cool and talk about their experience playing the game....
Allow me to date myself for a moment: when I was 12, I walked to a local record shop and purchased Primus’Sailing the Seas of Cheese… on a cassette. Little did I know that some 17 years later that the band’s bassist and vocalist, Les Claypool, would be providing music for a videogame. Would it have changed anything? Would I have picked up a copy of C & C Music Factory’sGonna Make You Sweatinstead?...
NPD says that 90 percent of game sales came from physical media in the third quarter of 2009. That’s console games, meaning that only 10 percent came from downloading. I see the PC guys in the back raising their hands. Calm down, dude, as it isn’t much different here. For non-console platforms, including PC and MAC, 79 percent came from physical media. The people like you and I, the people that download and buy physical games, only account for 19 percent of all game buyers....
LovePlusis a dating sim. I’m sure you’ve played a few in the genre here and there, possibly with some inappropriate images scattered within.LovePlusbrings that action to the DS, sans inappropriate images. What the game lacks in anime women getting naked it makes up for with the fact that you can touch the girls with your stylus in order to woo them into giving you a kiss. Actually, that might not make up for anything considering the fact that it takes about three whole minutes of petting and pecks on the cheek to get a kiss, and even then you have to worry about the people around you breaking it up....

WithPatapon 2looming on the horizon, it should come as no surprise that Sony will continue its cross-promotional chicanery bypimping the PSP rhythm gameviaLittleBigPlanet, aka Sony’s interactive billboard.
