Pandemic's open-world swansong falls short of its potential.

New fantasy game out now.

Browser game gets an award.

Here's at least one reason to buy your copy of The Saboteur new: All fresh copies of the game will ship with a code to download DLC, called "The Midnight Show," for free. The pack contains new Parisian hiding spots, a new minigame and, for better or for worse, the option to unlock nudity in the game. If you buy the game sans code, you'll also be able to pick up the DLC for $4.99 / 400. But at that point, whether you'll admit it or not, you're basically paying to see digi-boobies, and if you do that, we're just not sure we can be friends with you any more.

Oh, you think it's funny, making your virtual soldier explode with the force of a small supernova every time he gets killed? Yeah, we suppose it is. Know what else is funny? Getting banned from Xbox Live. Oh, wait, did we say funny? We meant really unpleasant. However, according to Xbox Live's Director of Policy and Enforcement, Stephen Toulouse, using Modern Warfare 2's Javelin glitch (an unsavory practice demoed in this video) is cheating, as defined by the service's Terms of Use. According to Toulouse, anyone caught self-detonating will be banned for 24 hours, or if caught repeatedly, two weeks. For us honest folk, it seems the wait for a patch, which will cull the kamikaze epidemic, will be short. Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling tweeted yesterday that a fix is currently being tested, and, "once it's cleared, we'll be urging it through Microsoft & Sony certification as fast as possible." Keep the fire, troops. We can make it through this thing together.

A Konami press release, laden with the heft of a UK release date for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, landed in our laps this morning. We don't think it had enough force to do any serious damage to -- what? Oh, right. Potential FOXHOUNDs living in the United Kingdom can get their hands on the co-op portable stealth title on May 28, 2010; or, as they'd likely call it, 28 May, 2010. For those of you keeping score, now the UK and Japan both have release dates for the game. Who does a guy have to hide behind in a box and then put in an unrelenting sleeper hold to get a North American launch date around here?

Gfk-ChartTrack data indicates that the Wii has passed the six million mark in the UK, one week shy of three years after it launched. Detailing the system's rise to MCV, ChartTrack director Dorian Bloch said, "In calendar year 2007, it sold 1.81 million - but really took off in 2008, with 2.73 million sold. So far in 2009, it's hit 1.31 million - but it's got a few weeks to build on that before Christmas." We know to what we should ascribe the console's success. You guessed it: Escape from Bug Island.This feat makes Wii the fastest-selling console in the history of the UK. MCV notes that it's still not the best-selling console, an honor reserved for the over 10-million-strong PS2.

A CVG source (singular) claims that Logitech is developing a UMD drive add-on for the PSP Go. The source has neither price nor release information, merely stating that the "only problem is that it'll make the PSP a little bulky." Logitech's UK office told the outlet that it's unaware of such a device and that it "may be something the US office is working on." We've contacted both Sony and Logitech for more concrete information. Beyond the fact that such an add-on would undermine what the Go represents (not quite the "only" problem, is it?), the likely price of such a device, in addition to the base cost of the PSP Go, would not compare well to the already lower cost of a regular PSP with UMD drive. Now, if the add-on could "install" your old games, that would be something ... Update: Logitech tells Joystiq: "This is not something that our company is working on."

Here comes something that Nintendo will probably have pulled off the App Store before the weekend hits. Someone has created the ‘iRwego’ app, which is basically a Super Mario Bros. sound generator, complete with picture of Mario. You just turn on the app, stick your iPhone/iPod Touch in your pocket, and enjoy the [...]

We often post fan art here on GoNintendo, as I think it’s important to feature the wonderful creativity that the average gamer has. Some people put their art skills to fantastic use by creating amazing tributes to gaming, be they in paint/sketch form. In the article below, you can see a collection of [...]

We initially dismissed the Friiboard, a Balance Board attachment created by the husband-and-wife team at Swiit Game Gear, as another inconsequential plastic Wii add-on, or worse, a Roll & Rocker for the Wii. The device adds a convex surface to the bottom of the Balance Board, adding real movement to the board, with the goal of enhancing the realism of snowboarding and skateboarding activities.But upon viewing the (very homemade) video, we think it actually looks like it could be fun. It gives the Balance Board a little wobble, but not so much wobble that it will destroy your body, loved ones and home like the Tony Hawk Ride board. One thing the device shares with Ride: it costs a lot. At $44.99, its price makes it a shaky proposition.[Via GoNintendo]

“I play DS all the time. Actually, a number of us on set do. Being on set, you often have twenty to thirty minute stretches of free time, which is perfect for the Nintendo DS. Lately I’ve been playing Crosswords [DS] a lot. It’s a fun thing too when we’re sitting on set at [...]
