Well, I think we can universally decree Mass Effect 3 the worst kept secret in video games ever. It’s had a horrible string of bad luck. First, a demo that wasn’t supposed to be seen by everyone appears on Xbox Live and is there long enough for people to completely play through it. Then, people more »

Earlier today, a rumor emerged that stated Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield will be the two leading men in Resident Evil 6. We must not be too far away from an official announcement due to the promotional signage that was sent to a GameStop. The image you to the right was sent to IGN from more »

Like clockwork, another Black Friday ad has leaked. This time, we’re taking a look at Kmart’s Black Friday offerings. Kmart has spent the past year or so getting gamers in the door by giving away gaming coupons with new releases. Seeing as how Black Friday prices are lower than usual anyway, gaming coupons aren’t playing a big role this time. The only gaming coupon offered is worth $25 after purchasing a 3DS bundle with Super Mario Land 3D. Everything else has been discounted by at least $5.

Toys R Us is the latest retailer to have its Black Friday ad leaked online. This year, Toys R Us isn’t waiting until Friday to start the doorbuster deals. Expect the stores to open at 9pm on Thursday (November 24) night. Doorbuster deals will continue until 1pm on Friday, but the rest of the sales will persist until 11pm Saturday. In reality, this is really more of a two-day sale than a Black Friday sale. That doesn’t mean you should sit back and wait to visit the store. The good stuff will likely be gone before the doors close on Saturday. These gaming deals are part of the two-day sale.

Well, BioWare and EA’s weekend really sucked.

First, a Mass Effect 3 beta demo ended up being released with the Xbox 360 fall update preview. Which meant quite a few Xbox 360 owners ended up downloading and playing it, experiencing the demos that were shown at E3 and a bit of the multiplayer. Specifically, the “escape Earth with Anderson” segment and “help Wrex and Mordin save a fertile female Krogan” missions were available.

Now, it turns out people were able to look into said Mass Effect 3 beta to extract outdated information about a lot of the game’s plot, missions, powers, weapons, enemies and more…

A couple days ago, Microsoft accidently released an unfinished beta version of Mass Effect 3. The beta was made available to some individuals that signed up for and were accepted into the Xbox Live Fall Preview Program. The nearly 2GB file contained access to the multiplayer and single-player portions of ME3. The beta is no longer available and its modes have been deactivated. However, new information was obtained during the brief window of the beta’s existence.

For almost two months, the hacking group known as LulzSec has been breaking into websites, shutting down websites and releasing stolen information. LulzSec’s agenda seemed to be nothing more than a group of six people basking in the media attention its exploits created. LulzSec has publicly announced the end to its activities and released a bunch of new documents containing user information as a parting gift.

3DS owners may have another game to start anticipating. A peek at Amazon suggests that Namco Bandai really is going to make an effort to support the Tales series in North America. A product listing hints at a North American release for Tales of the Abyss 3DS.

This particular, possible leak doesn’t come from an actual Amazon listing for Tales of the Abyss 3DS…

Sony’s next big release is the latest victim of videogame pirates. Killzone 3 is going to be released on February 22, but some individuals have taken it upon themselves to steal it. Two versions of the European version of Killzone 3 can now be found on torrent sites. Anyone with a hacked PS3 can play the game.

A near complete version of Crysis 2 has found its way out the hands of Crytek, and into the hands of pirates. Crysis 2 can now be found on certain torrent sides around the internet. For obvious reasons, we aren’t going to let you know where to find it. It’s not the complete version of Crysis 2, but there is apparently enough content to be a significant problem.
