So you're stuck at work after spending all night trying to get past that one level in "Super Meat Boy." You're reliving your failure over and over again in your mind, and the only way to get over it is to play something equally insanely difficult and frustrating.

The blood-soaked sequel with some innovative plans for its co-op play has opted for a launch closer to St. Patrick's Day than Halloween, but WBIE will still be stashing various treats into pre-orderers' boxes when it hits, such as comic books and extra weaponry.

Watching the above gameplay footage of "Michael Jackson: The Experience," the upcoming dance game from Ubisoft, you may be a little confused on how one would actually play it. It is, after all, on the Wii, which has no camera, and there's no "Dance Dance Revolution"-style mat to track your motions.

If you've doodled around in 5th Cell's "Scribblenauts" or "Super Scribblenauts," you probably weren't expecting to see the studio's next project turn out to be a third-person shooter that looks distinctly more "Killzone 3"-ish. They've unleashed some announcement teases for an Xbox Live Arcade title called "Hybrid," though, and that's exactly the kind of game they appear to have in store.

In the age of $100-plus special-edition game packages such as the "Call of Duty: Black Ops" Prestige Edition and the "Crysis 2" Nano Edition, we all expected to see Guerrilla Games come up with something large for "Killzone 3." For a brief moment, I thought their replica Helghast helmet was going to be a functional gas mask. Alas, that's not the case, but the bundle does come with some other special supplies.

Posted 10/28/10 5:43 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Mac, News, PC
Can't say I ever expected to see anything resembling a "boss fight" in "Team Fortress 2," but it seems Valve is full of surprises. Today marks the release of the Halloween-themed update for the game, and it contains a brand new character: the Horseless Headless Horsemann.
