This summer has had one of the worst droughts in living memory. Not in terms of water, but in terms of quality new games. Like a shambling corpse the game industry is beginning to awaken as the winter closes in. What better way to fill in the time between now and Borderlands 2, but by purchasing Dead Block on xbla for only 400 Microsoft Points?
War has been glorified in videogame form since the days of Wolfenstein, perhaps though no game has brought it more mainstream than Call of Duty 2 did during the beginning of this console’s life cycle.

Spec Ops: The Line is doing things a bit differently.

For the past week or so, Blizzard's been teasing the just-released 1.0.4 patch for Diablo 3, detailing many of the systems and class updates, but surprised us a bit when they dropped details on their take on alternate advancement: the Paragon System (Sorry, there's no Renegade counterpart). Once your character hits level 60, you'll begin accumulating experience towards your Paragon level, which bestows core stat increases and permanent boosts to your Magic Find and Gold Find ratings.

Well, not now, but come Halloween, you can get your co-op on with some friends and brave the horrors of Silent Hill: Book of Memories. We have some dark and dingy new screens for you.
