Loot Whore: Great Deals On Yesterday's Games

Now that Black Friday has ended, Cyber Monday descends upon us with even more savings on Xbox, PS3, Wii, PC, DS, and PSP games. Want to save more dough? Check out our highlights below, and remember to surf the web often because these will be popping up all day. If you missed picking up something from our Holiday Buyer's Guide on the cheap on Friday, then this is your second chance.

By 2020 will this just extend into one entire week of gluttonous shopping? As long as the deals manage to impress, I'm all for it. Especially with these Cyber-sales, where I can shop in my underwear and not have to wrestle with someone's grandma over a copy of Demon's Souls. And ugh, why are we using the word "cyber" in 2010? Put a bullet in it, already. Onwards for savings!

Michael Jackson The Experience Gets Glove-Based Sweepstakes

Posted November 23, 2010 - By Jake Gaskill

Michael Jackson The Experience for Wii moonwalks its way onto shelves today, and to celebrate, Ubisoft is offering loving fans the chance to win a limited edition replica rhinestone glove fashioned after the King of Pop’s iconic piece of hand-ware.

Ten participants will be chosen for a chance to take home the magical mitten, either by finding one of the “golden tickets” that Ubisoft has included in five copies of the game, or by being selected from a drawing being held on the game’s official Facebook page. If you don’t mind settling for a less than “experienced” replica glove, a limited number of copies of the game will include one for the same price as the (I love this) “non-glove Wii version.”

Tactics Ogre Preview - 8-Bit Strategy, Modern RPG

Posted November 22, 2010 - By MonfetteG4

Not enough chess-like tactical action in your handheld RPGs these days? Dying for a great tactics game that'll challenge your military thinking while satisfying your craving for moral choices? Well, look no further than the past for this PSP remake.

"While the Final Fantasy Tactics series is certainly at the forefront of the tactical RPG sub-genre, Tactics Ogre might very well be considered the granddaddy of them all. The hardcore will no doubt recognize this title immediately and newcomers will have good reason to rejoice the classic game’s re-emergence – dare we say “remake” – on the PSP. Especially given the fact that Square is making the game roughly 30% larger than the original with a few graphical revisions that nicely supplement the old-school look of the game."

Move your pieces up and down the board as you check out our Tactics Ogre Preview...

NBA 2K11 Preview

NBA 2K11 and Fallout: New Vegas owned the number one and number two spots last month, as the NPD Group released their monthly report on sales data for October. While the group no longer releases figures for the top consoles and games, there is some interesting information to glean from the report in regards to the apparent success of PlayStation Move, and more importantly what made the Top 10 list and what didn't.

Ubisoft Workshop today released a teaser trailer for a new animated series Assassin’s Creed Ascendance, aka the previously referred to “Secret Project #3.” Not much is known about the series at this point, but if the super brief trailer is any indication, it’s going to be one slick production.
