XB Elegant Edition is a case for your Xbox 360 that actually makes it look like a box. A high-end A/V component, if you will. That weird letter I/pillar/pillow-looking thing not cutting it for you? Maybe this Sweedish-designed box will help things out. Inside the futurist box is three 120mm fans to keep your system from red ringing, and they say that the larger open area keeps airflow constant and helps limit some of the noise....

Ninja Bee very kindly let us know that a trailer for its upcoming XBLA title,A Kingdom for Keflings, was available for viewing, so feast your eyes on the first game designed for use with the New Xbox Experience and its originally inventive avatar system. InA Kingdom for Keflings, your avatar becomes a “giant” who looks after these tiny buggers and builds them their own city. The game definitely looks set to tap into this mystical “casual” demographic that Microsoft somehow expects toflockto the 360 this Christmas, so in that sense, it definitely serves its purpose....

Andriasang brings ussome video and images of what Bayonetta looked like before she became the vixen we all now know. The video comes via a recent MTV special on the game where we learn that there were over 100 designs of Bayonetta before they picked the final model. The MTV special above also shows Bayonetta speaking in Japanese, something that’s not in the final game. I still find it odd that the Japanese version doesn’t feature any Japanese voice actors, but thankfully the English voice actors are pretty decent....

Last month’s Monthly Musing topic wasI, the Authorwhere we wanted you to talk about your unique stories and expereinces in a videogame. Here’s everything that was promoted: There were some really great Musings promoted last month. Mr Dillinger’s write up onGoldeneyewas extremely absurd, walkyourpath tales of being a GM inUltima Onlinewere hilarious and pixelpunx’s write up was simply brilliant. This month’s theme is I suck at games and we want to hear about games that you suck at....

I don’t know what this is, but it’scoming to European PS3s this weekand it’s weird. It’s being billed as more of an “interactive experience” than a game, and the “player” uses the Sixaxis to work with a looping video clip. Tilting the controller, you may manipulate time in order to find five sigils. Once that is done, the story advances.Yeah … this is definitely a … thing. A thing is definitely the thing that this thing is … or something....

“Where there’s music, there’sGuitar Hero, and there are countless Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees who’ve appeared inGuitar Hero” said Dusty Welch, publishing head at Activision. “We are absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to offer visitors a chance to live out their fantasies by playing tracks from the artists they are paying homage to.” You’d thinkRock Band, with its MTV ties, would’ve called this one first.

Art Attack Friday is all about Andy, the dude that runsDude-A-Day. Andy started Dude-A-Day on June 25, 2025 and his goal is to draw one dude a day until Jul 13, 2025. So that’s going to be 365 individual drawings until he meets his goal. The dudes Andy has drawn so far range from TV and movie characters, comics, cartoon characters and of course, videogame characters. So far he has done a little over 20 videogame characters, which you can check out in the gallery below....

ALL UNITS. GameStop is offering more than exclusive downloadable content forAssassin’s Creed 2. Above this mess of text is a hot image of the GameStop exclusive Limited Edition version of the game, which was recently revealed by the guys behind theAssassin’s CreedTwitter feed. While we don’t have an official list, it’s probably safe to say that this special edition includes these five things: an Ezio figurine, a bonus disc of some kind, a huge box, a book, and a code for the GameStop exclusive content “Palazzo Medici....

Across PC and Xbox 360,Section 8: Prejudiceplayers have earned a collective, merciless ten million kills. I love it when a community can truly come together to achieve a common goal. As promised, TimeGate has unlocked Assault mode now that this feat has been accomplished. Assault involves the capture and defense of control points in a team-on-team environment. Nothing too fancy, but more content can hardly be complained about. Also, if you happen to play the Xbox 360 version on Sunday between 5:00 and 8:00 PM EST, there’s a good chance you’ll run into folks from TimeGate and Microsoft....

You don’t need to have an appreciation forOkami,Okamiden, or even cel-shadery to get a kick out of these sweet statues. Crafted by Tomopop user Somakun, this lovely pair was entered into the Anime Expo 2010 Art Show — I think the ribbon above says it all. I especially love how the foliage is able to capture the essence of the games’ distinct visual style. As someone who typically could care less for trees, especially those creepy ones that have faces andgobble you upin the night, you know I’m impressed....

So, PopCap Games massively successful match-three puzzlerBejeweledhas turned ten. In 2000, the company launchedDiamond Mine, which was later renamed Bejeweled. I know all of this because I received a celebration package in the mail today, and inside the box was… you know, I don’t even know what this is. But happy birthday toBejeweled, and congratulations PopCap. I look forward to another 10 years of mind-bogglingly addictive gaming, which should be plenty of time to think up some other random crap you can send our way....

A demo for Midway’s upcoming first-person shooter,Blacksite: Area 51, hit the Xbox 360 marketplace a few days ago. I was slow to grab it, as I had chance to play the gamea few months back at Midway’s Gamer Day in NYC. The demo that’s available is more or less identical to the version I had previously played, with a few exceptions. A menu and options have been added for public consumption, for one....
