Who wants to adopt a PSP Go? Previously, you would have to have more money than sense to consider such an obligation, but now you can own one for the more reasonable price of £148.99. All you have to do is live in the UK and visit your local HMV retailer – not to sound like an intrusive advertisement, but that’s £76 off of the RRP! Wow!

It’s a similar story for Dj Hero, too, which has been slashed down to just £69.99.

These deals are not likely to last long, so it would be advisable to trek down to HMV if any of the above are on your Christmas list while stocks last.

Edit: at the time of writing the PSP Go has reverted back to £199.99.

Now that the November rush is beginning to slow down, and the Christmas Holiday is just around the corner, developers and publishers around the globe are preparing themselves for the rightful ascension into video game stardom.  To kick it off, Spike TV will be broadcasting its 2009 Video Game Awards  show on December 12.

Aside from the red carpet event, gamers have something more important to tune into: 2010 video game teasers.  Read on to get the shimmy on some of the trailers. Read more… »

Today publisher D3 announced that a sequel to its hit puzzle/RPG hybrid Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords will arrive on the Nintendo DS and Xbox 360 (via Xbox Live Arcade) spring 2010.

Simply dubbed Puzzle Quest 2, the sequel is being developed by Infinity Interactive, the studio who created the original. D3 promises “an enhanced real-time experience using all-new weapons, spells, and shields that make every decision meaningful…in the deepest puzzle adventure yet.” Read more… »

Today publisher Ubisoft announced that a new Prince of Persia game will be released in May 2010, just in time to arrive along side the feature film based off the game franchise.

According to the press release, players will return to the “Sands of Time storyline” in the new game, dubbed “Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.” The new title is currently in development for “consoles and hendhelds.” While the rest of the details are a bit sparse, Ubisoft did state that the new game will feature “many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations.” Read more… »

While the claim that the Nintendo Wii will never rival the the PS3 and Xbox 360 remains true in certain aspects, it’s an utter lie where it counts the most: sales.  According to the US and UK Amazon websites, their “Most Wished For in Video Games” has the New Super Mario Brothers Wii at the top of the list.

More surprising is that four Wii products fill the top four spots in the US, including the Wii console at its unchanged price of $199.99.  All the while, Modern Warfare 2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 duke it out for the second and third spot in the UK. Read more… »

Free to play (F2P) MMORPGs are often considered to be the delinquents in the genre, a sub-section that is always considered the Robin to its Batman.  In essence, it’s also like a baby bird, still too young and undervalued to make it on its own.

Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) was launched in 2006, originally starting its life via a pay to play subscription model but suffered from bugs and negative feedback.  Since becoming a F2P in September 2009, Turbine announced that their subscriptions have increased by 40%, proving that free games can be a viable option for a business. There are, however, micro-transactions, which begs the question: is it really free and is it worth your time?

Over the past five years, the Penny Arcade sponsored charity Child’s Play has raised over 5 million dollars in donations for sick kids in children’s hospitals throughout the world. This year, Gamer Limit has decided to lend their time, hands, and controllers to help this excellent cause through our Piece of Heart gaming marathon.

Starting at 5PM (CST) on December 4th, Gamer Limit staff members will convene at locations in both the United States and Australia for a 48 hour gaming marathon to help raise awareness and donations for Child’s Play.

Both locations will be hosting live video streams of both participants and game footage as they race each other through the majority of the Ratchet and Clank series. Tune in at any time during the event to root your team on, participate in contests, and even listen in during a live recording of the Limitcast.

The event begins in one week, so bookmark the official event site. Contests, live chat and live streaming of video and audio will all appear on the separate event page.

The King of Fighters, SNK’s flagship series, is getting a movie.  Of course, it looks just awful.

Why?  Because it threw away everything that was certifiably KoF and slapped on a cheap science fiction aesthetic.  Bleh.

See the new trailer above.  At least Uwe Boll isn’t directing it.

True story: yesterday I spent all day constantly refreshing the Sony Store just to find the free Uncharted 2 map. Come to find out, it’s a live update applied through the actual game!

Dubbed “The Fort”, Sony notes that “it’s a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes.” You’ll also earn double cash just for playing this weekend, so hop to it. Uncharted 2 shouldn’t be out of your PS3 anyway.
