NickdeBruyne: The idea of having to go back and replay the last 20 mins of Dead Space that I lost just put me off of gaming for the evening. Work time. 3 hours ago from Chromed Bird
NickdeBruyne: Im sorry, you cant keep playing because you have downloaded a stupid FREE suit, and we cant verify that it belongs to you so NYEEEEH 4 hours ago from Chromed Bird
NickdeBruyne: Thanks to the wifi router crashing the network, and Microsofts retarded DRM on DLC... I just lost a whole chunk of progress in Dead Space. 4 hours ago from Chromed Bird
NickdeBruyne: And now... the wifi router, for no reason, just completely wiped itself back to its default settings, crashing the whole network... 4 hours ago from Chromed Bird
NickdeBruyne: Our Wifi Router often just starts freaking out and blocking devices for no reason, just has a mind of its own 4 hours ago from Chromed Bird

Are you one of the few people who didn’t pick up Battlefield Bad Company 2 at launch? If so then you missed out on one of the top games of the year and this may be exactly what you have been waiting for.
EA are releasing a new bundle for Battlefield Bad Company 2 which will help you get right into the online battle or if co-op is more your thing then once again this fits the bill.
What makes Lazygamer readers so much better than other people? Well, this header image from way back in 1984 gives us some answers.
While normal readers can easily be seen wearing crappy outfits of total non-awesomeness, resident reader @Milni06 can clearly be seen wearing a Superman outfit that outright trumps all the other lame attempts at pre-school attire.
For this, we are proud.
Here’s the news we didn’t post because I was trying to fit back into my old Spider-Man and Ninja Turtles suit at the same time.
The release date for LittleBigPlanet 2 has been revealed, and we now know for sure that the end of this year is really going to be an eater of wallets.
The date given has been set on November 18, which means another release set for the very end of they year. I hope you guys are saving, because the rough times are pretty much upon us already, and aren’t going to let up for quite some time.
More people played as the soldier class than every other class combined. did you know that about mass effect 2? Me neither, but now I do – thanks to IGN and a Casey Hudson, Executive Producer for the series. How do they know?
Well, apparently Mass Effect 2’s got a little bit of an Orwellian nature about it, as it’s been tracking stats for players across both currently available versions of the game. Don’t worry though, Bioware aren’t going to use that information to send you mails about increasing the size of your penis.
Soon to be released, Kinect is being touted as a controller-free peripheral. You ARE the controller, and other such marketing hyperbole. Turns out though, that some of the people involved in the project wanted Kinect to have one.
Seems like the guys from Rare and Peter Molyneux himself wanted the device to ship with a controller of sorts.
Eurogamer has an article up today where they chat to Square Enix about their upcoming PSP title, 3rd Birthday, and they defend it against accusations of being erotic or overtly sexual.
That’s all good and well but I have to admit that I don’t find the below trailer to be erotic or sexual and the only thing I am seeing is that her clothes get ripped at times but really that’s pretty soft compared to what goes on in the world isn’t it?
What I did see is that this game is looking awesome and may be the reason to dust of your PSP.
As if Gearbox wasn’t in the news enough this week, thanks to their announcement of Duke Nukem Forever in 2011, we have some Borderlands news to add to the pile as well.
Gearbox’s head-honcho Randy Pitchford announced that Borderlands will be getting a free update for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions of the game. The level cap will now be increased from 61 to… wait for it… 69, the number of choice among teenagers. Along with the increase, the game will obviously undergo balance changes to accommodate the new cap as well.
The update will release on October 12th, roughly the same time as the Game of the Year edition hits the shelves.
[Update] I have received a reply and it’s not good. Apparently we are only getting Kirby in Q1 of 2011… I am trying to get a reason for the delay now and I will update this story if/when that happens.
I was privileged enough to get some hands on time with the new Kirby at E3 this year and I have to say it’s one of those games that sticks with you and just plays magnificently.
A new trailer has found its way onto the Internet which finally gives us a release date for Kirbys Epic Yarn of the 17th of October 2010.
I’ve dropped an email to our local Nintendo distributor to see if they can confirm that we will get it the same day. If you have a Wii then this is a must have title.
Everyone is saying it at the moment but it really does feel like we are living in the Twilight zone at the moment with GT5 being released in the next few months and Duke Nukem Forever being released in the next year.
And now we are confirming that a DNF demo will occur before the games release.
So did you vote for killing Carmine or saving him in Gears 3? Either way if you voted by buying a virtual T-shirt or a real T-shirt for the campaign then you are personally responsible for helping to raise over R1 million for childsplay.
That’s pretty impressive and it’s not often that we get feel good moments like this in the gaming industry so I take my hat off to Epic and everyone who voted. Unfortunately Epic won’t say whether Carmine is going to kick the bucket or not but expect Gears 3 to be a Final Destination experience for him either way.
Geoff is sick and incredibly high on the medication that the doctor has given him, so if you get any random messages from him about totally unrelated garble today, feel free to ignore it if you like, he will still love you in the morning.
Apparently a very sloshed employee of a company that is doing some early technical work for the RDR sequel may have let the game’s title slip, we think we can do better.
Here’s the news we didn’t post because we were guessing new names for the Red Dead Redemption sequel on Twitter. So far we have:
Red Dead Raccoon City, Red Dead Table Tennis, Red Dead Receptionist Red Dead Dance Dance Revolution ( woah, that’s RDDDR). Red Dead Effect: Sheppard in the West
E3 is a very big show, so big in fact that even when there are two of you and you run your ass off for 3 days, you still don’t come close to seeing everything.
Tron Evolution was one of those games. The stand was there, it had a big, beautiful light bike in front of it, but I never actually got the time to even have a decent glance at how the game looked or played.
Gameplay footage has come out of the PAX expo, and it actually looks like it’s shaping up quite nicely. Check it out, after the jump.
People in the US have been rushing out to Best Buy stores to try out the Gran Turismo 5 demo stands that have been setup, and a lot of them made sure to take some sort of camera with.
Reports have been coming out far and wide of the new demo featuring the updated damage system, and after looking at a first set of shots, I was really impressed. After seeing a second set of shots I started noticing something rather awkward and strange.
