(click to play the video)Fallout: New Vegas, the next chapter in the Fallout franchise, will be available in the fall. The game is currently in development at Obsidian Entertainment for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, and Games for Windows. New Vegas aims to take all of the action, humor, and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this series, and raise the stakes. This video is our first real glimpse into what lies ahead.

For many the wait MAY be nearly over, as Crysis 2 is soon to be unleashed! The multiplatform sequel (which has been confirmed for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) is set three years after the events of the first game. This time Aliens have dropped in for some sightseeing in the Big Apple. If redesigning New York City in some super cool power suit while combating an alien menace is your thing, then the game will probably appeal.

The new version of the game promises a new Nanosuit – the Nanosuit 2.0! Electronic Arts recently suggested that the game will arrive between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011. So you have time for some sightseeing before the Alien Menace turn up.

After only three months of availability, League of Legends, the debut title for Riot Games, has been downloaded by more than 1 million people. These gamers have also logged more than 18 million hours in the game, and 150,000 participate daily.

Best Buy and Wal-Mart are to halt tests of automated kiosks that bought used games after their supplier e-Play closed up shop. e-Play kiosks allowed shoppers to trade in Wii, Xbox or PlayStation games for credit on a gift card or credit card. The kiosks also rented video games and movies.

Why the sudden shut down? According to e-Play’s website, “e-Play, LLC has suspended operations. Thank you to all our customers. For more information call 1-866-602-6014.” The number, however, only routes you to an automated message explaining how to return games and invites you to leave a message.

Could it be that Turks sent them into bankruptcy by endlessly trading in every game he owns during his lunch hours?

THQ has promised to “fully unveil” their Warhammer 40K MMO at this summer’s E3. The title has been on the boards for quite some time, but so far we know very little it. Vigil Games will develop under the creative lead of Joe Madureira, and Madureira has said that combat will take place on a larger scale than Mythic’s Warhammer Online. He’s also been quoted as saying that there will be “tons” of customization and the “coolest looking characters of any MMO, ever.”

E3 takes place June 15-17, and we’re sending Patrick, Turks, and Mike Smith to bring back some real insight into what the game has in store.

According to the EA Sports Madden 10 Xbox 360 simulator, the New Orleans Saints will pull an upset victory over the Indianapolis Colts with a score of 35-31 at Super Bowl XLIV. The first three quarters display the offensive fireworks that both teams have become known for, with the Colts leading 24-21. A nail biting fourth quarter begins with a big play, courtesy of the Saints’ special teams, when Reggie Bush returns a punt for a 42-yard touchdown. However, with minutes left in the game the duo of Joseph Addai and Peyton Manning put the Colts back on top with a go-ahead touchdown pass. With the game hanging in the balance, Drew Brees hits David Thomas for an 11-yard touchdown and the game winning score. Drew Brees takes home MVP honors as the Saints earn their first Super Bowl Championship title in franchises 46 year history.

Although originally pegged for a spring 2010 release, Sony has delayed the release of its motion controller until some unspecified point at the end of this year. “We have decided to release the Motion Controller in Fall 2010 when we will be able to offer an exciting and varied line-up of software titles that will deliver the new entertainment experience to PS3 users,” said a Sony spokesperson.

However, that hasn’t stopped game developers from working on products to utilize the new motion controller (strongly believed to be called ‘Arc’). It will receive 10 dedicated titles for the PS3 before the end of this year, including sports and pet raising games. The push back date may now mean that Sony and Microsoft might just have brand new motion detection peripherals launching at the same time. So this will be PS3 v Xbox 360 round two! What do you think? Has Sony been planning to go head-to-head with Project Natal all along in the hopes of getting some revenge?
