Uncharted fans, take note. Rumor has it that a demo of the upcoming Uncharted: Among Thieves may be lurking on the InFamous disk releasing next month. If this is true, we say kudos to Sony for giving fans a chance to take a look at one of 2009's most anticipated games.  This type of "bonus" is way better than those lame pre-order extras they normally give away. Put it on the disk. End of story.

So, let's see how it plays out. Sony's big announcement regarding Uncharted 2 is coming next week - let's hope we're right!

It was just a few short weeks ago that we told you about Amazon's new offerings of Xbox Live Marketplace games.  Now, the mega retailer has gone one step further by offering Wii Ware titles as well. Those who don't like the idea of sharing their credit card information with Nintendo or Microsoft will no doubt enjoy being able to purchase these games directly from Amazon, a company that most of us have shopped from in the past. 

I think this is a great idea and it gives people alternatives. Alternatives are good for consumers - it keeps a healthy competition and allows the consumer to decide where they're going to purchase their games. In the end, the money ends up in the same place, but at least it gives the impression of having a choice.

Great news, Fallout fans! The next Fallout, which we're going to call Fallout 4, should be hitting store shelves next year. While it's not an official sequel to last year's Fallout 3, I think it's safe to say that much of the game will remain the same, and it'll likely use the same engine. 

Fallout: Las Vegas will be releasing on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Sorry Wii fans, your console can't handle a title this great!

Haven't you heard? March was a horrible month for video game sales. Traditionally, the spring isn't the best time for sales as a whole, but this particular March was even more dismal than the rest.

We know the economy is in the shitter. But video games are recession proof, right? 

Just to give you an idea of how bad March was, let's look at Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Mad World. Two highly anticipated games. Each sold less than 100,000 copies in the first month, which is really, really shitty.  Compare that to last April, for example, when GTA4 moved over 2 million copies in the first month. Surely the DS spin-off should have cracked half a mil, no? Nope.

Valve fans might want to take note of the new Survival Pack coming next week to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. The DLC pack will be free, which is a nice change. However, don't expect any new campaigns, just some new modes and a handful of other enhancements. If you want the whole low-down, check out Valve's Blog.

Oh, Time Warner. First the media conglomerate decides it's going to start charging consumers based on their bandwidth usage, and now they've changed their mind. It's pretty clear that they've received some hefty backlash from customers who aren't too keen on the new plan. Basically, the more you download, the more you pay.  But is it fair?

Let's say you're an average Joe or Jane who uses their $50/month unlimited plan to check their email and browse the occasional website. Should that customer pay the same as your Word of Warcraft player, or your torrent downloader?  I'll admit I download between 10-20GB of data every month. I pay less for bandwidth than some friends of mine, who are very light users. In the scheme of things, I guess I should be paying more. 

Regardless, unlimited for one set price seems the fairest option. Kind of like an all-you-can-eat buffet, or free refills on your iced tea.

We've all known that it was all but guaranteed, but today Ubisoft officially gave the word on the upcoming Assassin's Creed sequel. Assassin's Creed 2 can be expected this holiday season, much like its 2007 predecessor. 

This time, we won't be seeing Altair - we'll be playing as Ezio in Italy. Expect much of the same gameplay, with plenty of enhancements. We'll provide more details as they come in!

Those of us who've been eagerly anticipating the Saints Row 2 DLC announced a few weeks back, will have to wait just a little bit longer. April 23 seems so far away, but maybe the delay is a good thing considering it's tax time right now. Every additional day of testing that Volition can do is a positive thing in my opinion. Considering the game itself was extremely buggy upon release, I think we can all agree that some extra QA should be encouraged.
