Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be teaming up with Amazon.com for a handy special offer. When you order Super Mario Galaxy 2 you'll get an additional $20 in video game credit toward future Amazon.com video game purchases.

Next month, for the first time, you'll be able to "transform and roll out" with a friend. Transformers: War For Cybertron will feature online drop in/drop out co-op through the entire campaign. As we approach the game's June 22 release date, more characters and a few exclusives have come to light.
There aren't too many people more excited for Red Dead Redemption than yours truly, but there are plenty of inner outlaws at Co-Optimus and the Colony of Gamers who are ready to begin their open-world posse adventures. For the better part of a year, May 18th couldn't come soon enough.
Sometimes it's the simplest of games that can bring us the most enjoyment, such was the fact with a little game called The Amazing Flying Brothers, a free downloadable title from Kloonigames.

According to Shacknews, at a recent Bethesda preview event of upcoming titles, RAGE was announced to have a 2011 release date. Previously the game was thought to be a late summer release. The actual mantra is "when it's fun and done" for the release date, though a specific time frame was given.
My Japanese is a little rusty, but I am sure they are saying, "It's a me, Mario!"
What if you were reading this review, and instead of a review, you were reading about yourself reading this review? Quite the dichotomy, isn't it? Alan Wake by Remedy Entertainment in a way poses the same predicament for the lead character who shares his name with the game's title. Mr. Wake, who is also a bestselling author, seems to have lost a period of time in his life. Unsure of what happened to the past week, he starts stumbling on pieces of a novel which describe the events that are currently unfolding in his life. Is Alan just a pawn in a novel himself? Could some sinister dark force be at work here? Or perhaps Alan is just crazy.

The video onslaught continues from Lost Planet 2, as we've got another video showing off gameplay and cinematics from the four player co-op title.

If there's one thing you can take away from the video, it's that Capcom has managed to make the rust and gray look incredibly good.
It's no secret we've had a game-crush on Brink for some time now. Whether it's the cinematic trailer or previews of the game, everything we've seen from the 8 player co-op title makes us want it more and more. The latest batch of screens straight from Bethesda for Splash Damage's title are no exception.
Co-Optimus was recently approached by indie filmmaker Tim Pape while promoting his team's new film project, Desert Story. The first seven-minute chapter - hosted on YouTube - places us in what appears to be a post-apocalyptic setting, and introduces us to the Stranger. His motive is never quite revealed, but we get a good taste of what's in store for the future.
