Do you have a kick-ass computer?  Are you going to buy Far Cry 2?  If you pre-order Far Cry 2 direct from Ubisoft, they are going to give you a digital copy of the original Far Cry.

From Ubisoft:

The original Oddworld titles will always hold a special place in my heart, right next to Wonderboy. Valve has announced that these classic titles are now available on your favorite PC gaming content network thingy, Steam.

After the Final Fantasy XI guild, Beyond the Limitation, tried to best the Pandemonium Warden notorious monster in a marathon 18 hour boss battle, and still failing to kill it. Square-Enix is looking to rework some boss monster fights so they don't sap player's time, energy and well being.

If you are like me, you eagerly awaiting Valve's co-op zombie kill fest. While previously set for release on November 4, Left 4 Dead has now been pushed back a few weeks to November 20th, to coincide the 10th anniversary of the release of the original Half-Life.

Despite my lust for this game, I guess I can wait for a few more weeks. What better way to celebrate the birth of Half-Life than to kill some zombies! Sounds like the perfect gift to me.

EA has pieced together a sweet new site that allows you to explore the back story behind the upcoming game, Dead Space. NoKnownSurvivors.com is an experiential site that will allow visitors to explore the narrative world of Dead Space. Over the next nine weeks, the site will use interactive components, 3D animations, voice acting, original video and animation, as well as Papervision 3D technology to tell two equally tragic four chapter stories.

This week Tiger Woods hits the links for the new season of the PGA with Tiger Woods PGA 09 and Mario takes on baseball with the new Wii title, Mario Super Sluggers.  It would also seem to be the week of the RPG, as we have 5 new games from that genre releasing this week as well.

A new trailer for the upcoming Bionic Commando game was released at GC 2008. Feature a few boss fights, and lots of swinging action.

You know you want it.  So here it is.

For those who don't have a Street Fighter arcade unit a reasonable distance from them, you most likely will be getting your quarter circle+punch fix on your home console or computer. Thankfully Capcom is showing off the console version at LGC 08 right now. Check out the video of game play and screen shots. No new console characters have been confirmed at all yet.

Konami has just announced that Silent Hill:Homecoming will be a little bit late and be hitting in November now. So you will have to put off the creepy wandering and monster bashing off a couple months. Though the new Silent Hill will now be coming on PC as well as PS3 & 360. There will be no difference between any of the versions of the game no matter what format you choose to pick up. Unless you are trying to run it on a Pentium 3 with a 3D-Fx card from 1998, then you may have some problems. Check out screen shots & new trailer to hold you over until your November vacation to Silent Hill.
