This snippet comes from the latest issue of NGamer… NGamer has gotten the ’scoop’ on these sort of things before, but nothing ever surfaced. We’ll have to see if Nintendo is willing to comment about this one. Thanks to ibbsters for the heads up!

Capcom is showing off some of the lesser-seen TGS 2009 booth goodies that they had, and they’re also teasing for an upcoming raffle. If you want a chance to grab some of these items, you might want to check out the full post!

I’ve been learning the ropes of navigation over at the new GameInformer.com. While I haven’t gotten the full hang of their layout just yet, I did happen to stumble upon this in the ‘magazine’ section. Nice to get a look at the full cover, and it just double confirms what we already knew. I [...]

Quite the hilarious box mistake there. You have to wonder if anyone actually picked up the game after seeing this sticker.

Okay, fine -- Assassin's Creed's Lucy, the mousey assistant who helped operate the DNA-reading Animus device, was pretty boring. That blame can't really be placed upon the adorable shoulders of Kristen Bell, who voiced the character. She did the best she could with the ... it's not like she had a ... she's Veronica Mars! We can't speak ill of Veronica Mars! A recent batch of promotional photos have confirmed Bell's involvement in Assassin's Creed 2. She'll perform the role of Lucy again, and she'll perform it flawlessly, like everything else she's ever done in her entire life. Ever.

Lay down a phat beat with this club-tastic block puzzle game.

The wonderful gang over at Team Meat was nice enough to send over a Super Meat Boy care/promo package. While the buttons included were awesome, it’s the comic book that really stands out. This is a high-quality comic, and it starts off with a spoof of Superman! You can check out more [...]

We can't be gaming all the time, despite our best efforts, and from time to time we'll actually take advantage of the movie-playing abilities on our gaming systems. JBO features our top picks for XBL, PSN, Netflix's Watch Instantly and Blu-ray each week. Recommendation of the Week: Jim Henson Double Feature: Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal (PlayStation 3 - Blu-ray disc, $27.95 MSRP per movie, cheaper at most retailers) Both of these classic Jim Henson movies have been released on DVD before, but this is their first time to Blu-ray, and the first time they've looked so good. Whether it's a magical world full of Skeksis, Gelflings and ultra-powerful crystals, or a magical world full of David Bowie, Bogs of Eternal Stenches and Jennifer Connelly (hubba hubba), the imagination that Jim Henson put into his movies was amazing, especially in a day and age before CGI. One interesting note is that when the Jim Henson Company sold the Muppets to Disney, they retained the rights to Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, amongst other properties. They've been working on another Dark Crystal film, and I sure hope it comes to theaters one day. As usual, we'll see you at the popcorn st -- well, actually, we won't see you at all. But you catch our drift. Plus, be sure to tell us what you'll be watching, or what you've seen recently that bowled you over.
