Classic Sega Genesis games ToeJam & Earl and ToeJam & Earl: Panic in Panic on Funkotron are getting released next month on both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.  While the PlayStation Network is seeing two releases on November 6th, one for each game and priced at $4.99 each, the Xbox 360 is seeing a single release.  The Sega Vintage Collection: ToeJam & Earl will be available for 800  and will launch on November 7th featuring both games bundled.  

Extra Life is ten days away, so it's time to step up our efforts, and pull in more donations. We've made some good progress this week, but we still have a long way to go. So far, our ten members have raised $296 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. That's a good chunk of money, but we can do better.

After the new Mechromancer class DLC went live yesterday on all platforms, the PS3 version in particular had its hand in revealing the future Campaign add-on early. Through a bunch of new PlayStation 3 Trophies relating to the unavailable DLC being uploaded to the PlayStation database, we can look forward to even more Borderlands 2 content already lining up for us.

Today I attended the EA’s annual Naughty or Nice winter event, where they show off their upcoming games for the upcoming Winter and Spring quarters. The real highlight of the event for me was Fuse, the upcoming action/shooter game from developer Insomniac. If you’ll remember, Fuse is the new name for the game previously known as Overstrike, and earlier this fall it was announced that the game was receiving a rework. Since the information about Fuse has been pretty sparse, I was enthusiastic about the opportunity to learn more about the game and try it out firsthand.

Did you know there's a new Halo game out this Fall?  Halo 4 launches on November 6th and the hype train for this one has been surprisingly quiet.  Or rather, I think we missed a lot of this stuff because we were too busy playing Borderlands 2.  That said,  there's a ton of video content promoting Microsoft's blockbuster out now and there's some more content on the way.

Serious Sam 3: BFE has a solid release date for the Xbox Live Arcade. It will be hitting the digital storefront on October 17th. As we reported earlier this week, the game will be sold in two parts. Sam is just too damn big for the XBLA file size limit. The single player and cooperative campaign will make up one digital package, the multiplayer modes and new "Jewel of the Nile" DLC will make up the second. Each will cost 1200 MSP ($15). 

A nice variety of new games and add-on content dropped yesterday. But what about the tried and true military shooter fans? No worries, there's something for you, too. Ghost Recon Future Soldier's "Khyber Strike" DLC hit the Xbox 360 yesterday, and should be live on the PlayStation 3 today. This is the third piece of DLC for the third-person gadget shooter. While not as co-op friendly as "Raven Strike," it includes a little something for everyone. 

It seems so long ago that we got that surprise free update for Team Fortress 2, one in which added the Mann vs Machine co-op mode for 6 players.  In reality, it has only been two months.  One complaint we had with the mode was that it was pretty friggin hard, combined with some match making difficulties, it didn't quite catch on with us as much as we thought it should.   A new update for the game directly addresses both issues and adds new content to boot.

Halloween is meant to be the scariest night of the year, so what better day to launch the PC version of Painkiller: Hell & Damnation?  Personally, I find that after some great Halloween parties it is November 1st that Painkillers come in handy the most, but who am I to tell Nordic Games what to do?

Is your Tokyo Jungle roster missing something? If you've been playing the quirky little brawler/survival game you've probably noticed the five locked animals toward the bottom of the character select screen. (Okay, there are many, many locked animals when your first start the game, but five of the animals are trapped behind red colored locks.) The Giraffe, Crocodile, Panda, Kangaroo, and Sabertooth have been taunting me for two weeks. Today, four of these five creatures are available for purchase from the PlayStation Store.

Gearbox Software has surprised us all with the release of the 5th Borderlands 2 class, The Mechromancer, a week ahead of schedule.

Nick hit me up the other day about reviewing a new gaming mouse, the Roccat Savu. I asked him if he was sure, because new tech and I don't get along very well. He said he knew I could handle it, so I grudgingly complied. My inner monolog was already scolding me: "Oh no, free stuff. And you have to play with it. What a bummer. Truly you live a horrible life." I got my hands on the mouse and then I got my game on.
