Microsoft and Square Enix aren't the only ones making news with patent applications this week. Given YouTube's impact on entertainment, it's only fitting that Google may want to send the site down the same path as televisions and PC's into the world of gaming, and that's exactly what an application the company filed in February outlines.

Posted 12/30/09 2:58 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in PC, PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360
The second DLC pack for "Borderlands" (one of my favorite games of 2009) has arrived, offering a pretty unique twist to the original game's experience. But is it worth $10? Let's take a look!
The Basics
Inspired by "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," "Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot" consists of 3 large arena maps and a small lobby map. Hoping into one of the arenas via the lobby kicks off a tournament which plays out a lot like "Smash TV" or, more recently, Firefight Mode in "Halo 3: ODST." Waves of different enemies will spawn in and you basically have to survive. Last long enough and the game will be reward you with delightful guns.

Between the "Kingdom Hearts" and "Final Fantasy" series, Square Enix designer Tetsuya Nomura has a lot of very visible accomplishments under his belt. He also has a few unrevealed projects, though, and a recent patent application may hold a few clues about what he has in store for 2010.
'Modern Warfare 2' Wins Most Pirated Game Of 2009 Honors
Posted 12/29/09 4:30 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC, Xbox 360
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" raked in a pile of cash this year with a $310 million first day on the market. The game went on to pass the $500 million mark in its first week, but the crown for best-selling game of 2009 has come with another honor -- Most Illegally Downloaded Game of 2009.
"Command & Conquer 4: Tiberium Twilight" has already kicked off a countdown to its March 16th release date, but the game's website is now teasing an additional launch for 2010. An announcement from the the series' official newsletter words itself cryptically, revealing only that "Command & Conquer" will be coming to a new medium next year. The accompanying artwork, however, looks suspiciously like a comic book page and bears a striking resemblance to the style of acclaimed comics artist Paul Pope. There's no signature attached, but the haphazard Tiberium crystals thrusting out of a recognizable London scene look like they could be his handiwork.

Wii Points Card Cookie Is Probably No Longer Edible
Posted 12/29/09 11:00 am ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, Stuff That Came, Wii
This time of year a lot of publishers send out holiday-themed cards and items to, well, celebrate the holidays I guess. Unfortunately they get a little back logged at times and I end up letting a few fall through the cracks. And some of those few items happen to be perishable, like the Wii Points Card cookies that Nintendo sent a couple weeks ago. Thankfully, fellow MTV newsroom denizens were able to partake in them, so they weren't all the waste, but one made it through and was sitting under a pile of stuff on my desk. That's the one above.
