IGN’s resident Nintendo commando Matt Cassamassina pulled aGreybushon his blog on friday — I mean, of course, telling everybody that he has key information that wouldrock yo’ world, y’know, if we was only able to spill it. Mind, the Greybush is a fundamentally different maneuver than the Linde, which —well, you know. There’s some shady stuff goin’ down, kids; stuff so shady I created an ill-fated referenceto a forgotten Conan segmentjust to express it....

1C Company and Ubisoft announced a new combat flight sim today. Previously calledStorm of War: Battle of Britain,IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Doverhas key features such as “New aircraft”, “Flyable aircraft” including British, German and Italian planes, and “Non-flyable aircraft” of up to 13 different AI-controlled planeamajigs. All jokes aside, this looks likethenew World War II combat sim that people have been waiting for afterWings of Preyleft many fans wanting. Expect 128 player air battles, customizable difficulty, DirectX 11 supported graphics, full component damage modeling, and a map ranging from London and southern England to Normandy and Belgium....

Let me wave my fingers in front of the screenWayne’s Worldstyle and take you back in time. Now that we’re here Nintendo has just launched the Wii and it’s taking off like Superman about to rewind time by switching the direction the earth rotates. OK, wiggley fingers again and we’re back in modern times. There should be motion controls everywhere, right? Microsoft and Sony should have been on that trend like white on rice, but that isn’t the case....

Konami’sElebitswas, without a doubt, one of the early highlights of the Wii’s launch. It didn’t do everything quite right, but its core elements were a shining example of what we expected from all Wii software — unique gameplay that took advantage of the hardware. Early next year, Konami will be delivering a quasi-sequel to the title for the Nintendo DS. CalledElebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero(yes, it’s the longest name ever), the title is appears to be more story, puzzle and map-exploration based than its Wii predecessor....

In the early hours of the morning, Valve Corporation rolled out another update for the PC version ofLeft 4 Dead. The update, according toL4D’sSteam page, added a brand new lobby browser under the “Play Online” tab making it easier to find the best rooms to join by providing a — get this — list of games to choose from. The listing will include both normal and fan made content, including stuff the player may or may not have downloaded already....

It’s nice to know somebody remembered me this Christmas. I might not have gotten those nude pics of Bjork I asked for, but Sony has seen fit to step in and bringLumines Supernovato PSN, just in time for the holidays. The game hits on December 23rd for $14.99 and brings along 40 skins, including thatLittleBigPlanetone Brad told you about a while back. In keeping with the giving spirit, Sony is also offering up 20 additional skins as part of a “Holiday Pack,” free for a limited time and said to include a wide array of musical genres and eye-destroying visuals....

Before last Thursday, the last time I saw Arizona Cardinals wide receiverLarry Fitzgeraldin person was at theunveiling of theMadden NFL 10cover, which took place in April 2009 in New York City’s Times Square. “If I’d asked you before today — April in New York, or February in Dallas: which one would you have guessed would be colder?” I put that question to Fitzgerald while we were both freezing our fingers and toes off at the Coke Zero Black Carpet outsideMadden Bowl XVIIin Grapevine, TX, with the temperature in the mid-20s and a bone-chilling wind making things worse....

Coming down the downloadable content pipeline in June is “Overlord,” a paid add-on pack forMass Effect 2. Yet another Cerberus base has gone silent, and yes, some experiment has gone horribly wrong. This time, a human was fused with artificial intelligence to create a “VI overlord,” hence the title. Sounds like just another day in theMass Effectuniverse. While an exact date for “Overlord” hasn’t been pinned down yet, BioWare has set the price: seven bucks on either PC or Xbox 360....

Mega Man 10‘s DLC is important sh*t for serious Mega Man fans like myself. It looks to finally unify the four branches of the original Mega Man games (NES, SNES, PS1/Saturn, and Game Boy) under one title, something that’s never been done before. We already knew thatBass from the SNES and PS1Mega Mangames was on his way, but according to the latest press release from Capcom, multiple characters from the Game Boy Mega Man games are dropping intoMega Man 10as well....

Last week we talked aboutModern Warfare 2‘s upcoming Avatar gear, some of which was suggested might be free. Well, it’s out tomorrow, but it sure as heck ain’t free! Step right up folks, for a cavalcade of digital clothing that will cost you plenty of fake Moon Money. Robert Bowling confirmed viaTwitterthat Infinity Ward was uploading newMW2Avatar stuff and showed off the Ghost outfit pictured. He also made sure to let PS3 owners know they weren’t being left out, with a selection of Dynamic Themes planned for the Black Box o’ Blu-ray....

According to a listing on the USK’s (Germany’s classification board for games)Web site, a game calledGalaga Legionsis pending release on Xbox LIVE Arcade. At this point, all we know about the game is that it’s being published by Namco-Bandai, the company responsible for publishing the much-lovedPac-Man: Championship Edition. CouldGalaga Legionsbe in the same vein asPac-Man: CEor possibly evenSpace Invaders Extreme? We’re rightalongside XBLAHin hoping so. At the very least, I think we can assume thatLegionswill pit us up against a legion of insect-looking aliens, whether it ends up being an innovative new take onGalagaor a collection ofGalaxian,Galaga,Galapus, andGalaga ’88(Please God, no!...

This wholeNBA Elite 11debacleis certainly all over the place. Not only has it pretty much pointed towards EA not releasing a stalwart of their gaming line-up and losing a ton of money, but it’s totally messed withNBA Jamon the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However, now it looks like it’s messed with it for the better. During a recentradio interview(25:50 is where the relevance starts) the game’s creative director, Trey Smith, said that the delay ofNBA Elite 11caught theNBA Jamteam off guard, but now that they are getting their own release instead of being a free download withElite, they are “doing everything in our power to get as much on there as possible....
