When I first came up with the idea for MTV's Big Buck Challenge, I can't say I imagined that we'd get a winner of "Project Runway" to complete. And yet I've been proven wrong. Christian Siriano was in the MTV newsroom the other day and was more than willing to take a shot at the high score list. The above video has all the gory details. Enjoy!

We recently sat down with Tomo Miličević and Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars to talk about their collaboration with EA and BioWare for "Dragon Age: Origins." Specifically their song, "This Is War," made its debut within the game. Check out the clip up top.

"Assassin's Creed 2" features a character that may remind you of a certain mushroom-loving plumber. Check out the video above for his amusing introduction. I guess you could consider it an easter egg-ish spoiler, but it has no direct connection to the game's plot, so no worries there.

Nelly Furtado is another in a long line of musicians that have stepped up to record a song in Simlish. In this case it's Furtado's "Manos Al Aire," which is featured in the latest trailer for the game, watchable above.

Now that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is out and about, you may be curious to know what's next for the game's developer, Infinity Ward. Well, we visited their California-based studios to find out. Check out the interview segment above, in which Robert Bowling talks about what sort of DLC plans are in store. Seems that, apart from the two announced DLC packs, the developer will be listening to the fans to find out what they want next. New Spec Ops missions are definitely not out of the question.

If you're hoping for a website that'll share all your "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" glories, akin to Bungie's "Halo" stat-tracking site, Bungie.net, you're fresh out of luck for launch. We spoke to Infinity Ward about the potential for a similar, community-based site for "Modern Warfare 2," which they didn't quite rule out, but admitted that it's not something that'll be built into the launch. Check out the video interview with Robert Bowling up top.

The above launch trailer for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" features scenes from the length and breadth of the single-player campaign. If that sorta thing bothers you, I'd strongly recommend waiting until next Tuesday. If you just can't contain yourself, though, live it up!

One of the enemies you'll face in "Modern Warfare 2"'s Spec-Ops mode is aptly named The Juggernaut. Basically imagine a huge, hulking dude in a bomb defusal suit who will march at you until you manage to take him down with explosives and .50 caliber rounds. It's the equivalent of a boss character in Spec-Ops and you really don't want to get on the business end of one of these guys.

The lead character designer for "Modern Warfare 2" discusses the creation of the Juggernaut in the video up top. Enjoy!

With people still up in arms about the lack of dedicated servers in the PC version of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," we spoke directly to Robert Bowling at Infinity Ward to get his final word on the matter. You can see his response above, but the general theme seems to be: Wait and see.

EA is continuing its long and difficult campaign of convincing people that "Dragon Age: Origins" is not quite as nerdy as it appears. Today's featured attempt? Bringing 30 Seconds To Mars into the mix. The band contributed one of their new singles, "This Is War," for use in the game. The song is the title track from their upcoming album which drops on December 8th.

Jared Leto, the band's front-man, provided this canned, somewhat antiseptic statement:
