Check out the special theme this weekend only.
Rock of Ages, the quirky boulder-rolling tower defense game came out of nowhere earlier this year to capture reviewers and players with its over-the-top setting and theme. That theme is going to get just a little more colorful this weekend, thanks to an in-game Halloween décor and a special boulder for the PC version of the game.
A host of new cars is coming next month.
Forza 4’s race has only just begun. The newest addition to the popular Xbox 360 racing sim franchise will be cranking out its fair share of DLC, and the first pack was revealed today. It is called the November Speed Pack, and it will run you a mere 560 Microsoft Points. And what does that get you?

HD re-releases of older games are all the rage these days. This year has already seen the releases of HD versions for Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, and a collection of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, just to name a few. That’s not going to stop anytime soon, either; collections for Silent Hill, Zone of the Enders, and Devil May Cry are all in the works. Arguably one of the highest profile collections on the horizon is Metal Gear Solid, and today Konami announced when you’ll be able to get your hands on shiny new versions of some of Hideo Kojima’s most popular games.
Arkham Asylum brings in more money than Catwoman can steal in a night.
Batman: Arkham City has been poised to be one of the biggest games of 2011, and it seems like it has already achieved that. Our very own Jon Lewis liked it quite a bit, and if sales figures are to be believed, the rest of the world does, too.
An in-depth roundtable discussion on the growing used games monetization problem – and its solutions.

The end of a video game system’s life is always an interesting one. While game developers, publishers, and fans are looking ahead to the new, shiny machine on the block, the older hardware has the benefit of years of development lessons learned. Consider that Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IX, and God of War all came out as their respective systems were waning, and each of those games are considered classics in their own right. Enter Aliens: Infestation, a game developed by WayForward for the aging Nintendo DS system. Is this a game that will go down in history as one of the best additions to the DS library, or is it a case of too little, too late?

Version 2.0 may have a home beyond the PC and PS3.
Final Fantasy XIV has had a rough time of it. The PC version of the game was released over a year ago and didn’t review well at all. It currently has a Metacritic of 49, which is extremely low for a mainline Final Fantasy release. While the game has its fans, supporters, and apologists, the game was considered enough of a failure by Square Enix to have the development team fired, the PS3 version delayed indefinitely, and the monthly fees waived. SE didn’t stop there, however; the game is getting a massive overhaul, with “Final Fantasy XIV 2.0” expected to be released by 2013. Today, some more news has come to light on this drastic course of action.
