That's not a typo. Starting today and carrying through Tuesday, November 2, the experience points you get in Gears of War 2 multiplayer will be 31 times the usual amount.
According to the official site of the game, there's also "a special chainsaw massacre edition of Horde" which makes Lancers mandatory and removes those pesky chainsaw interrupts.
This is the closest I've come to getting back into the multiplayer since about when Gears of War 2 first released, so good job, whoever came up with this stunt.

Bless the PlayStation C.A.M.P! program for introducing regular doses of bizarre gaming experiences to the world. I'm still unsure as to what type of game Tokyo Jungle actually is, but everything about it looks appealing.
I mean, it takes place in the futuristic (and all-encompassing) 20XX. Tokyo is a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of animals like Pomeranians and also, there are dinosaurs roaming around too. Basically, Tokyo Jungle came to someone in a dream and got the green light against all odds.
And now, it's been confirmed for release outside of Japan. Europe is getting this via PlayStation Network sometime in 2011, and although no plans for a release in North America have been mentioned yet, that seems likely. We'll keep you posted.

Today is a big day for Retro City Rampage. Vblank Entertainment raised the curtain on the game's soundtrack with a new ten-minute video featuring better looks at some of its parodies like Metal Gear and TMNT. The design of fake Snake is, unsurprisingly, spot on.
This video is set to ten excellent tunes from the soundtrack, which is composed by three highly talented musicians: virt (Jake Kaufman), Norrin Radd (Matt Creamer) and Freaky DNA (Leonard Paul). Best part? You can download this "mixtape," as well as RCR's theme music, for free.
Go here for everything mentioned above and more.

Sorry, but that's what it looks like. Konami's balls-mental horror title Neverdead seems to feature monstrous walking poop as enemies, if these new screenshots are to be believed. It's like a horror remake of Two Girls One Cup. I am aroused by this.
The game is due for Xbox 360 and PS3, and will feature both shooting and swordfighting in a world where an invincible hero fights a load of demons because of reasons. It looks absolutely stupid in a good way, and

This week's Jimquisition is a HALLOWEEEEEEN SPECIAAAAAAL! It's not very special actually, but it does give me an opportunity to dump all over Resident Evil and Silent Hill as I explain why I think they've both become terrible.
Also, here's a pro-tip: Never try to film an entire rant in a plastic Halloween mask. It's horrible and the red paint has a tendency to rub off and then stick to your face. I have learned this the hard way.
Enjoy the show.
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Jim, we love your free Apps that you post up all nice and sexy and you are sexy and we want to sex you, but where in the name of Blue Buggering Christ are all the fun Halloween games!?"
Don't worry, you impatient pricks, I've got you covered!
Zombie Snake (courtesy of Open Feint) is the game you need to get you in the mood for dressing up like an idiot and watching shitty films. It's like a regular Snake game, but with more brains and graveyards. It's got a cute art style and fun music and it costs not a single cent. Go get it, you bunch of bollocks!

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has revealed the 3DS Shopping Channel at an investor briefing today, highlighting a number of key features that should drag Nintendo's online marketplace efforts into the modern world.
The first big improvement is the bundling of product sales and promotion into one place, so you can get information on your potential purchases without having to look elsewhere. Details, movies and demos will all be available on a game's sale page. Games will be available on themed "racks" to help you find a particular genre, and titles can also be sorted by date, popularity and a search function.
It all sounds fairly rudimentary, but even the Wii lacks some basic features that would make it a far more convenient experience. The 3DS has been designed to encourage "window shopping" and efficient browsing, something that Nintendo's online stores have desperately needed.
There's a video demonstration of it below. Check it out!

With Duke Nukem finally getting dragged out of his grave by Gearbox Software, who will finally be releasing Duke Nuke Forever next year, what of the announced Nintendo DS and PSP games? According to the developer of the portable titles, Frontline Studios, they're still in development… but no longer Duke Nukem games.
To be called Duke Nukem Critical Mass, the games were said to be the first in a trilogy of portable games featuring the ass-kicking, bubble gum chewing Duke. Frontline will still be releasing the games, only with a different title so generic it'll knock the wind out of you — Extraction Point: Alien Shootout.
While the games will presumably see the light of day, without the Duke Nukem branding, it's likely they'll die on the shelves in obscurity. Check out the above video for the PSP Duke Nukem game that could have been.

In a "Yeah, of course it is, fools" update, Ubisoft has announced that "Thriller" will be part of the soundtrack for the upcoming title, Michael Jackson The Experience. It will be joined by "Ghost" and "Rock With You," off of one of my favorite albums of all time, Off the Wall.
It was obvious that it would be included, but with the "Thriller" routine part of the game — which supports both dancing and singing — this is a must buy. For everyone; I'm making it mandatory. Seriously, you've seen the "Thriller" choreography, right? The music video is only one of the best things ever committed to film.
Michael Jackson The Experience is out for the Wii, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable this year. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, which support Kinect and Move respectively, have been pushed into 2011.

Everyone will have a chance to get their boss fight on next week in PSP title Ys: The Oath in Felghana, but here's a peek at one of the battles in video form now.
It's just you (as Adol), a sword, and one life bar, up against a huge beast like this. There's a lot of these battles in Felghana, and they're all a lot of fun. You've got to keep on your toes, though.
I've found that in my playthrough (review coming Monday!), I leave and find a quiet, empty room to "get in the zone" when I get my boss battle on. If I can't get away and you talk to me and break my concentration, watch out! I'l go f'n nuts on you. I screamed some hateful things at my dog for breathing earlier this week during a battle.
