This story involves the game inFamous which was released on May 26, 2009. I was following impressions of this game closely and was shocked to learn how many people were enjoying it.

My plan was simple, my intentions were pure and my brain was ready to fill the shoes of Cole MacGrath.

Imagine walking into a WalMart, plunking down $150 for a DS game system and walking out with $150 worth of rocks in a small box along with some Chinese newspaper. Well that’s exactly what happened to Jodi Wykle in Florida.

Wykle purchased a Nintendo DS for her teenage son’s birthday – an awesome gift – but when he opened the box to pull out the handheld all he got was a box full of rocks wrapped up in some Chinese newspaper.

As if that was bad enough, when she tried to return it to WalMart they told her it wasn’t there problem and that she would have to call Nintendo. When she contacted Nintendo they…

One of this season’s most anticipated Black Friday ads for 2008, the Walmart ad, has just been leaked. BlackFriday.info, Black Friday Ads and CAG are all reporting on the various deals in the ad, with both BlackFriday.info and Black Friday Ads offering complete scans of the leaked circular.

This past week several sites, including Gamertell, reported that Sam’s Club was offering a rather incredible Wii bundle deal for Black Friday (November 28, 2008, aka the day after Thanksgiving). Unfortunately, the price indicated in the scan of the print ad was incorrect.

According to a cease and desist request sent by Baker Hostetler LLP to Gamertell and many other outlets, the following line was requested to replace the image:

Wal-Mart has also stated that it going to take steps to make sure the game and CD are visible in every Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club store. If you aren’t near either store, don’t worry – the Wal-Mart website will also carry the game.

AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack features 18 songs from AC/DC, and let me assure you, it is epic. Of course, PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game will be released, with the PS2 version costing $29.88 and the next-gen console versions costing $39.88. It currently has a tentative early November, 2008 release date…
