Radioshack has the recently released Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 video game for $29.99 for the PS3 and the Wii. The Xbox 360 version is marked at $39.99. Not a bad price when compared to the regular retail price of $59.99.
It looks like the lower prices are web-only specials, but selecting ship-to-store will give you free shipping.

Basketball fans can get all giddy with the release a couple NBA games, while you Wii owners get the new Wii Fit Plus. Checking out the PS3 boards, there seems to be a pretty good following for Demon's Souls, which seems pretty awesome, but I don't know if I'll have the extra time to commit to it.
Let us know which new games you plan on picking up this week, or, if you're like me, just can't wait for next Tuesday to get here!

An Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 version have been listed at $79.99 with a release date of November 17, 2009. The Assassin's Creed II Limited Edition Bundle will include the following:

Carcassonne - the board game
VG247 brings us news that the the awesome board game known as Carcassonne will be heading to the Nitnendo DS sometime later this year. There is a version of this game available on Xbox Live Arcade and this game was addicting as anything. If you're into board games but can't find someone else to play with or just hate cleaning up the pieces then you need to check it out. I even went ahead and found the link for the Xbox Live Arcade version.
Carcassonne on the DS is spectacular news. Being able to play Carcassonne anytime, anywhere, is flat out amazing. I'm a little bit excited.

Check out the trailer below:
The recent film X-Men Origins: Wolverine crushed the spirits of many a merry Marvel fan. Deadpool, the beloved "Merc with a Mouth," was turned into a bizarre science experiment gone wrong. For those worried the old Deadpool you love is gone for good in Marvel-licensed videogames, rest easy. As reported earlier this month, the comic-book version of Deadpool is one of the 24 playable characters in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2.
You know, I'm still on the very last level in Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I need to just pop it in and finish'er up.
Did anyone else see X-Men Origins: Wolverine? If so, let us know what you thought of Deadpools appearance in the movie!

There is a job listing on Gamasutra for Microsoft Games Studios' Halo team looking for an Animation Director. It's is not just one job listing. Microsoft Games Studio is looking to build a whole team.
This is not for Halo 3 ODST made by Bungie and it is not for Halo Wars by Ensemble Studios/Robot Entertainment and it is not for the totally dead Peter Jackson Halo Project.
It is not going to be officially announced until long after Halo 3: ODST ships and Bungie quits working on Halo but they are hiring the people right now to make the new Halo Xbox 360 game. This new game is under the supervision of Frankie's Halo Franchise Development Group.
Looks like they are not going to outsource the development of Halo IV to an external developer but rather build a dedicated team in Redmond to handle future Halo games. Things have been trending this way for a long time now.

As reported by Gamespy.com, this collection will contain all previous Gears of War 2 add-ons, seven new multiplayer maps, as well as a deleted single-player campaign chapter. And for gamers who have already purchased the previously released Gears of War 2 content, the new deleted chapter as well as multiplayer maps and content will be available for download for 1600 MS points.
Here are details of the new content reported by Gamespy.com
- Allfathers Garden: Honor the sacred grounds of the Coalition founders in this explosive map, where powerful weapons catalyze fast and furious action at this COG landmark.
- Memorial: Set near the Eternal Flame, which pays tribute to the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, a hard-fought battle ensues at the Tomb of Unknowns. Putting their flank formation and evasive skills to the test, players will fight to control the Boomshot.
- Sanctuary: Once a peaceful ground for reflection and remembrance, all that remains of the Sanctuary is the chill of death. Feast your eyes on the arsenal of weapons available as you make your way through the tight paths and blind corners of the Locust-damaged temple corridors.
- War Machine: In the abandoned train station that once served as a hub for travel, players will need to master the Longshot, Mulcher and Boomshot weapons to advance the fight while evading fire from the platforms above.
- Highway: Take the fight deep into the Locust Hollow in the complex passages of this underground highway system brimming with enemy vermin. Stick together, separate the enemy and have an exit strategy ready or it'll be a one-way trip.
- Way Station: Sitting in limbo between death and "processing" are Locust way stations filled with fallen COG soldiers. Tread lightly and practice patience as it's better to sacrifice firepower for stealth while navigating this minefield of hidden grenades.
- Nowhere: Set in the middle of what was once a destination for weary desert travellers, the land is now barren and devoid of life. Pick off your enemies with the Longshot sniper rifle and make your way to the stairwell with a well-fortified team during this intense firefight.

It appears that X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be the biggest hit, as the movie releases this weekend as well. Not sure if I will pick it up or not, but I'll definitely be seeing the movie. Personally I'm looking forward to one of the Nintendo DS releases this week!

I remember popping in countless quarters in the arcades, actually, multiple arcades. For Xbox owners, it looks like this will set you back about 1,200 Microsoft Points. But for most of us that's not even an issue, because we're getting Marvel vs. Capcom 2!
Here is a snippet from IGN's news report:
Before we get into the small changes, we have to address the biggest one. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on Xbox Live and PSN will have online play. All of the same online features that are present in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix are there, since this game will be running on the same net code. That means you'll get the same amount of lag online (or lack of it), leaderboards, and ranked and unranked matches. The only feature missing will be the tournament mode.Continue reading the full story here
As much as I'm excited for this game...I'm also just as scared to play it online knowing I'll be getting thrown around like a rag doll. But that's part of the fun eh!

Well, fans and collectors alike will have their chance, all while being able to play the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game that will be released this summer. The collectors edition of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum game will include a nice collection of goodies:
- Arkham Doctors Journal
- 2 Sleeve Digi-pack that includes the game disk and behind the scenes DVD
- Code for exclusive "Crime Alley" map
- Full Color Manual
- And the most important item...a 14" batarang with stand
The Batman: Arkham Asylum Collectors Edition will ring in at $100. To the fans and collectors out there, is the batarang worth it?
My money is on the fact that it won't take long for us to see this batarang in the news regarding some sibling dispute...

The second part of this announcement is that Bethesda will not be developing this game, instead it will be from Obsidian Entertainment. No artwork or additional info/news has been released
