Xbox 360 Arcade currently $130 in Canada 15 March 2010 at 2:30 pm by admin


If you’ve been holding out on buying an Xbox 360 for the last five years until it drops below $150, and, um, you live in Canada, you’ll be totally psyched to hear that the Arcade bundle of Microsoft’s console is currently on sale in the great white north for just $130. The Xbox Canada site lists the price drop for both Futureshop and Best Buy, though we also found it over at Amazon Canada and GameStop Canada . Get ‘em while you can! We’ve followed up with Microsoft to clarify whether or not this is a permanent change for our Canadian friends, and, of course, if we’ll be seeing a similar sale/price drop in the US

+ Recently laid-off devs rant about being recently laid off By admin 15 March 2010 at 1:30 pm and have No Comments


I think we can all agree that, aside from being hit by a speeding train or dropping a hot meal you’ve been cooking for hours, being fired from your job is like, the worst thing that can happen to you. As such, we expected the speakers on last week’s GDC rant panel, titled “Fired and Fired-up: Jobless Developer’s Rant,” to be especially inflammatory.

+ Comic Jumper first video! By admin 15 March 2010 at 1:00 pm and have No Comments

What a treat! Tucked away amongst the South by Southwest Screenburn Arcade was a humble booth for Twisted Pixel Games. Sure, they were demoing The Maw and ‘Splosion Man (one of Joystiq’s top ten games of 2009 !) for curious passers-by, but at 4pm CEO Mike Wilford demoed the first ten minutes of the heretofore unseen Comic Jumper . The price for this early look at the video: shaky cam footage! Wilford promised us some direct feed video this week; but, in the interim, enjoy this first look at Comic Jumper.

As revealed during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, tormented writer Alan Wake will continue his dimly lit journey in the form of post-launch downloadable episodes. After the internally episodic thriller hits shelves on May 18 , Remedy Entertainment will extend it with at least two episodes in 2010. The scope of subsequent episodes and the duration of DLC support will hinge on the audience, of course, but Remedy managing director Matias Myllyrinne envisions a substantial engagement
