A Gamercide favorite is about to make it’s return. Did I mention there will be cake to celebrate? View the full article

It’s standard practice these days for every major release to have store exclusive bonus content to lure you into preordering the game from that particular vendor. Fallout New Vegas is no different, with 4 different offerings to choose from. View the full article

The lovely and extremely wonderful bs angel (follow her on the Twitters!), has given us another Noble Six avatar helmet code. To win this one, you’ll need to use some MSPaint skills. Nothing too hard. Just put a Halo character into a ballet tutu. That’s it! Since I’ll be using a random number generator, you can even just post two images. One of a character, and another of a tutu. Just add in a plus (+) sign or something. Appropriate tutu Doing it wrong Contest ends Wednesday night. Post your entries into the contest thread, on our forums, here.

Sign up and you get 250 free, which is worth 200 MS points(100 points per 100 points).

Seriously....everytime I turn it on I want to touch myself. It's not this wide...I don't know what happened.

Trixie360 has announced on her Windows Live Spaces blog that she is leaving behind her title as Community Manager for Xbox Live and moving on to her new responsibility which is Xbox Live for Windows Phone 7. “This is a heartbreaking post for me.When I first came to xbox in 2002, people didn’t talk about ‘Community’ in gaming. Oh, community existed of course, but no one called it that. My first forays into building community began with an interview with a customer. The term “Gamer Spotlight” I pulled out of my *** in a meeting one day. What was the point of it? To give a customer a moment of attention, and to let the nascent community learn more about someone who was also …

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-23-rumour-project-milo-cancelled No surprise here since it's been rumored for a while now.. but it's clear that this entire project was vaporware from the get-go. Kind of sucks since I've never played Fable before. Was looking forward to an innovative new IP. Instead we get the same old crap.

There's some kind of exploit that's spreading super fast. As soon as you visit a persons page, or click on their strange link, a script (mouseover) is started. font size 99999999999999 and onmouseover get (strange url). Just stay away for now. I'm sure it'll be cleared up by later today.

If most of you are like me, you get a little riled up when it comes to purchasing something and then being told you have to pay AGAIN to "access" certain features that are already there. A great example of this is a lot of DLC currently, where the content is already on the disc you've purchased and you have to pay extra money to "unlock" the ability to play it. It drives me BONKERS. This however, is another example of what's going on, and it's extremely shady. Found at Best Buy, these $50 Intel "Upgrade" cards make your processor run faster. How? By enabling the 1MB of L3 cache and HyperThread support THAT ALREADY EXIST ON THE CHIP!!!!! http://translate.google.com/tra…

One of Dead Rising 2′s new features is the ability to create and customize new weapons. A meta website, Tape It or Die, has been created to help residents of Fortune City survive the zombie plague that started five years ago by making them aware of the various methods of weapon creation, providing blogs and pictures in hopes of creating the “ultimate weapon.” What they may have provided, though, is perhaps the “ultimate spoiler”. For those of you who haven’t survived the outbreak of Willamette, Colorado, be warned, there be spoilers ahead. So “Johnny Pipes”, one of the bloggers and founders, blogs about a recent outing yesterday where he took some photos of new hero Chu…

http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~3/t306LSERD-w/ A federal appeals court said Friday that software makers can use shrink-wrap and click-wrap licenses to forbid the transfer or resale of their wares, an apparent gutting of the so-called first-sale doctrine. Basically, if it's a license then they can forbid you from reselling it. Could really suck for the end users.

Last week we posted one of the gameplay videos for Megaman Universe. It evoked classic Mega Man gameplay…almost a bit TOO classic, as the stages seemed to resemble remixes of stages from Mega Man 2. And we still had no clue about the special characters that would guest star (Ryu and American Box Art Man). Well, Capcom Unity has revealed the nature of Mega Man Universe. The people behind the new stages and characters won’t be the Capcom designers but the Mega Man Universe players. Taking cues from Little Big Planet, Mega Man Universe will allow players to not only customize and create their own unique robotic hero from various parts of classic, new, and guest characters…

Look to your left. The object closest to you is now your one and only weapon. Describe what it is (be honest), post a picture if you like, and write a short sentence or two describing how you would use it, or how it would be completely useless to you.

Overpriced, lacking, or just plain sucks. Those are a few of the words used by gamers to describe the behemoth that is the Xbox Live Marketplace. Why have gamers turned so hostile towards the one stop destination for all things 360 and is Microsoft, the developers behind the games, or are the gamers themselves the ones to blame for the growing number of angry remarks being made against the marketplace? In part one of this two part series, we take a look at just how much gamers are spending for their games. View the full full article

Dyyno didn't work out for us, so I've put together something a little different. It's all JTV based. It can be accessed from the main http://www.gamercide.org page or directly http://www.gamercide.org/live Not really a spoiler, just the old post info:

Brian R. Wood, the lead designer behind Company of Heroes was tragically killed in a car accident on Friday. His wife Erin who is six months pregnant and was his passenger, is recovering in the hospital. A spokesperson for the Washington State Police said that the driver of the Chevy Blazer, Jordyn B. Weichert was taking her sweater off as one of the passenger’s, Samantha R. Bowling held the steering wheel. Bowling lost control of the vehicle and hit Wood’s Subaru. Wood and two other male passengers in the Blazer were killed. Police believe that Weichert, the driver of the Blazer was under the influence of drugs. Weichert might be facing vehicular homicide and vehicul…

On September 14, 2010 one of the most successful series on a video game console will sing it’s swan song.
