As part of the London Games Fringe (an indie adjunct to the full-blown London Games Festival), female gamers will be able to compete head-to-head in the first Grl Gmr Tournament.
Lighthouse Interactive has announced that their PC-based whodunit Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel has been pushed back until early next year to allow the developers to “further polish the game and deliver a great experience.”
!’ve said it before (although possibly not in public) and I’ll say it again – turn-based games are a natural fit for mobile gaming. Any gaming device that you have to slip quickly in your pocket in case you get mugged demands a stable of games that you can take at whatever pace you like.
Otomedius, Konami’s attempt to lure the masses back to Gradius-style sidescrolling shooting, was on hand at this week’s Tokyo Game Show, coming home as Otomedius Gorgeous! for the Xbox 360. What Otomedius Gorgeous! brings to the table, a concept only briefly explored in titles like Parodius and Sexy Parodius, is boobs. Impossibly perky, voluminous cartoon boobs.

In just a little over a week you’ll be able to get your hands on Far Cry 2. This new trailer outlines just a few of the allies that you may choose from during your explosion-packed jaunt through Africa. Just a word of caution, the trailer is a little violent, viewer discretion is advised.
While PS3, PS2, PSP and Xbox 360 owners are going to be able to experience the joys of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 come this November, Wii owners are going to have to wait a little longer.

The Wii version of the game should be hitting stores sometime in Spring 2009. Screens after the jump.

Wanting to bring something other than hats, shirts, and gurgling murlocs to the BlizzCon 2008 party, they’ve come up with a way to combine all the competition of a PVP arena with the carnival fun of tossing bean bags through holes, the J!nx PVP Arena. While I had missed it on Friday due to swarms of murloc-hungry fans, late Saturday night I got a chance to try my hand at an extremely entertaining way to play World of Warcraft without technically playing World of Warcraft.
