Dust: An Elysian Tail was the winner of the Dream.Build.Play competition put on by Microsoft in 2009, and now it's coming to the Xbox Live Arcade later this year. There will also be a tie-in animated movie entitled An Elysian Tail.

RedLynx, the developer for Trials Evolution, promises that the game will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade in 2012 despite missing its proposed 2011 release date.

Buyer beware - If you are looking to purchase one of Team Xecuter's CoolRunners for the Reset Glitch Hack or their replacement PCB for Slim Liteon drive flashing, you might want to pay attention to this.

The rumors have been swirling for a while on the subject of Half-Life 3, but today Half-Life developer Valve stepped up and squashed it all.

Spark Unlimited, the developer best known for producing Call of Duty: Finest Hour, may be working on Star Wars: Battlefront III.

We've seen little bits and pieces about Borderlands 2 up until now. Now we get an in-depth look at the new Gunzerker class.

Unlike the treasure hunters from the first Borderlands, Salvador the Gunzerker is a native. You know, one of those guys that everyone is trying to exterminate in the first game? So yeah, he's got a chip on his shoulder.

It's the end of the year, so it's time for those lists we always see around this time.

Christmas has come and gone. So what did you guys get?

Come January 1st, there will be no more gun-based items available for your avatar on Xbox Live. So if you want 'em you better act now!

Apparently, the "no guns for avatars" has been a general rule on XBL for some time, but Epic Games had been able to keep their Lancer and Hammerburst from Gears of War available on the Marketplace for some reason, up until now.

The box artwork and some still were just released for Grand Slam tennis 2, and they were quickly followed up by a playable demo.

Square Enix has announced some exclusive DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2 on the Xbox 360. It's a bow for Serah called Azrael.

Azrael is a bow that is "named after an angel who represents spirits and death." It is supposed to have "the power to change the owner's destiny," but in game terms your Chain Bonus is upgraded when Azrael is equipped. That's the important part to most gamers.

The latest Gears of War 3 DLC has been announced. It's called "Fenix Rising" and it will be out January 17th.
