A little song about how I`m still at the starting point of life, and how the begin of my real life is about to start. Lyrics: Hook: (x2) Bet you ain’t never seen another youngin’ like me, Coz I ain’t nothing like the kids you see on TV, when it rains I`mma smile, always go an extra mile, haven’t been here for a while, still standing on the starting line. Verse: So it`s back to the goal…

Halo doesn’t have a ton of airborne combat in it, but if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a non-stop Banshee spawnkilling attack, you know how frustrating the skies can be. Thankfully, Halo Wars feels your pain and is introducing a new unit: the UNSC Wolverine.
It’s armed with two anti-aircraft missile pods that can be lowered to target ground units as well, and it features a front-mounted heavy grenade launcher to take out “soft targets,” like meat-shield infantry puppets. …

… by Martijn Van der Meulen. To be fair, Van der Meulen is a producer on the Home project, who apparently assured IGN during Games Convention that the service would launch sometime this year. “Van der Meulen told me (without hesitation) that it is a 100 percent guarantee that Home will be released by the end of this calendar year. He has completely no doubt that this will be the case,” IGN’s Ryan Clements reports. Well, there you have it, just blame Van der Meulen …

Valve’s four-player fix of zippy-fast zombie action has been pushed back a bit, but thankfully not 28 days later; just 16. Left 4 Dead had been slated to hit Personal computer and Xbox 360 on November 4, but its evil will instead take up residence on your platform of choice November 20. The date is significant in that it’s the 10th anniversary of another Valve game you may have heard about - the original Half-Life.
If you just can’t …

Next week at the Penny Arcade Expo, we’ve been given a opportunity to sit down for an interview with PA creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik (i.e. Tycho and Gabe). While we’d love to brainstorm hard-hitting questions for the two, we suddenly realize we’re very lazy people. So please tell us what you would ask the Dynamic Duo and we’ll pick out the ideal quesitons and use them in our interview.
Here are our (admittedly too numerous) picks for the week’s ideal game-related webcomic. Polling …

The much ballyhooed Team Fortress 2 Heavy Update that Valve released this past Tuesday will be heading to the Xbox 360 by year’s end, according to Gamespot. At last, you can begin cracking your knuckles and bone up on your sandvich eating skillz. Just watching those videos made us want to start playing TF2 again. We know, you’re saying, “What?! Why’d you put it down in the first place?”
New maps, new weapons, and new accomplishments? What’s not to love? Anything that can …

Electronic Arts and Ubisoft are offering some neat pre-order bonuses for the respective releases of Red Alert 3 and Far Cry 2. If you pre-order the upcoming RTS or FPS, you will be able to net yourself their prequels as DLC for completely nothing.
Of course, if you’re interested in the sequel, you’ll likely already own or have finished Far Cry or the first two Red Alert titles, but it could certainly help make a pre-order more attractive to newcomers. In the case of the first Command & Conquer: Red …

Meet 1ickTh3P0l3. He can vote. But why tell him that? When Rock the Vote comes to Xbox Live on Monday (the begin of the Democratic National Convention), it won’t find the disempowered young citizens eager to be mobilized it’s expecting. In fact, the Xbox Live community is a conglomerate of well-organized sub-divisions — or “clans” — which communicate through a modified, verbalization of “133t speak” with a massive admixture of derisive language; including racial, ethnic, gender, sex, and religious slurs. These nihilistic …
