The Behemoth may be busy pushing Castle Crashers through Sony's approval process and working on BattleBlock Theater, but that doesn't mean they don't have time to work on a very special Castle Crashers treat for fans attending PAX this year. More »
You've been riding that sorry excuse for a burro long enough, don't you think? Wouldn't you like your Red Dead Redemption multiplayer avatar to skirt around the dusty plains on a sleek, muscular stallion? Don't you want him to wield only the most polished, modern armaments? You need to get that fool's level up -- a task which will be made easier this weekend, when Rockstar will double the XP you earn when playing the game's online multiplayer component.
The promotion began at 1 pm EST today, and runs until midnight EST on Sunday, August 15. Saddle up -- provided you can actually afford a saddle for your aforementioned budget-priced donkey.
I’ve seen stars and mushrooms that hold candy, but not a Bob-omb! Apparently this sucker is filled with a ton of sugar, as well as a dipping stick. Not the explosives you would expect to find within a Bob-omb, but I’m sure a few minutes with this candy would make any kid blow [...]
If you pounced on what was already a good deal for the Final Fantasy XIII bundle, then we apologize, because it's been discounted again.

For most of us, recent tweets from Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono have been good news, because they feature new screenshots of Capcom's Street Fighter X Tekken. All of these screens, depicting the same four characters we've seen in other Street Fighter X Tekken media, curiously seem to show the Tekken characters being beaten up by Ryu and Chun-Li. Ono also tweeted an "invitation" to a GamesCom presentation during which he and Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada will both appear and show off the game.
Which brings us to the one person for whom these tweets aren't great news. Ono entreated fans to "gather with me to rid of Harada's annoying beard off his baby face once and for all."

I won’t tell you where this hidden Bomberman reference is in Lost in Shadow. That’s part of the fun! You’ll have to hunt it down on your own when the game comes out here! Thanks to Rextintorz for the heads up!
